I have asked this before, done some research, as I jokingly said I wouldnt mind becoming one ( easy money for negotiation of a new contract I thought ) , they also deal with any issues the player has with the club, if the player needs specific food provided, a specific type S&C conditioning, I was told to think of them as the " baby sitter " for the player, any issue they have, the player tells the agent, the agent then speaks to the club, now this seemed like the player was being pampered and treated like a child, but it seems the players think the agent is getting paid, so why not use them, even though it would be far easier for the player to speak to the " clubs management team " and deal with the issues themselves
