    It is a footballer's right if he decides to be represented by an agent. But, there again, why should a club have to pay these vultures their vastly extortionate fees? Sadly, football is being continually fleeced by these vultures who call themselves agents. Surely the day must come when these parasites are stopped once and for all from bringing football down to their level.

    I don't understand why the clubs have to pay agents. The agents represent the players, all of their fees should come out of the players' end.

    The club were looking for a player, and it seems as though the player wasn't looking for a club, but as mentioned elsewhere CCFC should be in a position where they can scout and negotiate their own deals.

    The world of agents seems very murky, almost everyth8ng you hear about it isn’t very good. I expect that whole side of it to be cleaned up somehow in the next decade. So much cash floating about, it’s onlt going to attract the worst kind of people.....

    Most depressing thing about that article is nothing surprises me.

    However it seems clear the mckays (willie, mark, jack) were acting for nantes. Once the transfer had been completed what authority or responsibility did they have to be involved in things such as this flight?

    If it was his own agent i could understand, but why were the agents acting on behalf of nantes involved in transporting a cardiff city player around after the transfer had been completed?
