Let's get this clear.... It's hypothetical about Lennon and in no way ITK, I just wanted to see the options YOU thought could replace

all i remember is the Blue and Yellow - apparently it was Blue - Ade and Yellow - Damiao (as everyone seemed to think at the time, as well as any other of the million + combinations it could have been)

yeh it's the same taco. He also referred to the blue and yellow as "Bap bap Americano" which was obviously refering to Rossi but he still had the audacity to claim it was Ade all along.

The Lucas Moura to PSG deal included a £9,000,000 agent fee. That is ridiculous. £9m to the agent, £9m? Yes. £9m. Football's gone mad

They wouldn't be the first nouveau riche to spend a fortune on agents fees to attract players, Chelsea must have chucked a small fortune at Zahavi.
 
tbf i think we pay higher than most to agents, i remember reading elsewhere (obviously not on that level though)
 
Lucas Moura was always gonna sign for PSG ahead of Man Utd because he shares the same agent as Robinho and so would have talked him out of living in Manchester

I think I saw a list from the 2010 to 2011 and we spent the second highest behind Emirates Marketing Project. Bare in mind that we hardly signed anyone and mostly did a lot of selling ourselves; so we really shouldn't have spent too much on agent fees if we were the selling party. Most agent fees are paid by the buying party who is negotiating the players contract. So its a mystery why we paid so much to agents when we have hardly had any players come to us? Well its not a mystery if you can consider who was manager during those years....
 
at Portsmouth where i believe he had a more hands on role with transfers i could see there being something in it - but i don't think he'd be that involved with that side of things here - id say there's more chance that it is a tactic that we use ourselves in order to give ourselves a bit of an advantage ?

That depends, clubs sometimes pay agents to help sell players
