Clubs blame agents for trying to screw them, but they are mainly upset as a good agent stops the club from screwing the players over. Also clubs are very happy to use agents to help them secure transfers and find out who is looking for a move and who is available. Probably not worth all that money, but then footballers aren''t worth all that money either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dicky 0 Posted June 15, 2011 [quote user="blahblahblah"]He could have bought a VW Phaeton and save himself £100 k. They''re the same car underneath.[/quote]Blah - I normally think of you as being one of the more reasonable posters, but I have to take issue with you on this one. They are nothing like the same car underneath - that is a typical Clarkson myth. I have one myself, so kinda know..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Budapest Canary 154 Posted June 16, 2011 Uchito Bungo Yamamoto is one of the hottest rising stars of J-League. Central defender who can also be used as a striker as well as a GK.I hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fish Seller 0 Posted June 16, 2011 [quote user="porkyp"]See LYNN NEWS, 29th September 2009. [/quote]Crikey!! Of course that''s Steven Galvin who can in no way be legally associated with the Max Galvin Group apart from the fact (source) that he acted for this company whilst an undischarged bankrupt. I''m sure the Max Galvin Group can be accepted to be a perfectly reputable firm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
