It was always going to be the case that in appointing a rookie manager like di Canio, we'd end up relying on an agent or two to recruit players. Picarretta even says that we don't have to take the players they send our way, but with the Knight situation, it does suggest that all judgement has been thrown out of the window. Worrying times.

Worrying times. What a load of fucking bull.
Knight may be a cunt. But he's on TRIAL. T-R-I-A-L. To see whether he's still got it.
If Paolo wants him I'm sure the board aren't stupid enough to give him a 3 year deal.
It'll most likely be one year and if he plays up then he gets put out on his arse and he's gone by the end of the season.
Or. He scores a fucking bucket load.

He's supposed to be di Canio's mate, so presumably di Canio. |

Which already blows the theory that we are reliant on agents out of the window. And of course it's only one player, but how did some of the others come about? What about transfers that haven't happened yet? Sure we are using an agent or two to help us get players, that's what they do. But to suggest we are reliant on them for everything is pure guesswork and needless scaremongering. |

I'm not expecting too much from this season, and was probably one of the few excited by the prospect of Marvin Morgan, The collective view seemed to be that we should be recruiting better than Morgan. I'd still be very happy with a signing of his calibre, here's hoping. |

Really? Marvin Morgan? It was at that point the words 'worrying times' entered my head. Fortunately he's gone elsewhere. |

Nah, it's just stating the bleeding obvious. |

I don't think its that bad Reg. I'm sure Di Canio and Bodin will have their own ideas on players. The agent guy comes across a bit of a chancer but Devera looks like a good signing and I don't think PDC will let an agent or an agency decide a player for him without his final say so especially as it's his first managerial position and the pressure is on him to succeed. He's no mug. |

It just plain isn't true though, is it Reg? At least not to the extent you and some others are making it out to be. |

The way I see it is that people moan when we don't do enough deals with agents: why won't Fitton pay agents fees? or if we do a few the agents are running our club!.
I do hope we deal with more than just one or two agents/agencies though, otherwise there's a risk we'll get duds just to make their pay day easier.

So in some signings we have used an agent, but in another one we haven't. It seems anything can spark an irrational debate on here.

We didn't get where we are today by having rational debates on here.
