I think you have to have a background as a solicitorIs it hard to become a football agent, what is required?
Frenkie De-jong is anotherPedri (excluding Messi) is probably the only player from top of my head that I’d want from Barca currently. Which will obviously never happen.
Can definitely see Barca being interested in Lindelof though.
Perfectly acceptable deal for Matic.Tweet

My thoughts exactly.Pedri or Frankie D Jong would work.

Good one
I don't believe he is but he's an experienced football man and worked in club administration before joining an agency, working there for a while then starting his own agency. So he would have good knowledge of contracts, etc. Without that experience though, a person would need to have a legal background to successfully navigate such a role.Are you telling me Raiola is a solicitor?
It's Castles so it's all bollox really“Man Utd’s new midfield”?
We don’t have one?
This old chestnut keeps coming up. Leeds once upon a time when they were crashing down from the Premier League following the Ridsdale mismanagement of their finances may have been in the market for players of the ability of James or Perreira.Offer £30m for Dan James instead, we won't say no.
Ah brain fart. Forgot about him.Frenkie De-jong is another
Funny that because they wanted him last season.This old chestnut keeps coming up. Leeds once upon a time when they were crashing down from the Premier League following the Ridsdale mismanagement of their finances may have been in the market for players of the ability of James or Perreira.
That was then. This is now.
They are aiming for Europe this season so neither of those players of the necessary quality.
No but he did study law. He just broke into football management before it clamped down. By the way, he’s no dumby, he speaks 7 languagesAre you telling me Raiola is a solicitor?

I just listened to the relevant 5 or 10 mins and it's nothing new.Anyone know what he says about our midfield?
In reference to the long dramatic documentary he made years ago about his future at Atletico.Oh I see.
Aged yourself there

in some weird way it makes sense. We give away a lesser player for a better player with higher wages. Point is we dont need Griezman and his wages arę prohibitiveGood one

Few quid too. Don’t want to be a soft touch.De Jong - Lindelof straight swap, or would we also insist on some cash, too?
Both James and Andreas are more productive than Traore to be fair..This old chestnut keeps coming up.

Yeah, I'm sure he can hire good lawyers to review the contracts but he does have a lot of knowledge as far as football administration goes and lots of contacts. Still, I think for anyone looking to break into that world, having sound and demonstrable legal knowledge would be necessary to get in the door, especially if you don't have a deep footballing background.I think he might have an intermediary license or something like, as he goes to negotiate on the behalf of players he represents
I think they put them out there to see how much they’d get, answer not very much so they will keep them insteadTweet

In addition to Xhaka Arsenal now also offering Bellerin a new contract. They are just messing with their fans at this point.

If they can't offer more than 12M€ for Xhaka, they just can do one. Hopefully we still go through replacing him and he doesn't throw too many games away.I think they put them out there to see how much they’d get, answer not very much so they will keep them instead
