No one is disputing that but surely there is a time and a place to let a story like this break out. You talk about agents like they are essential to the club improving, we just spent the third most on football Agents in the last 12 months and sit 14th in the EPL, please explain to me how that £30m+ has benefited and improved the club in the last 12 months.

Most of those fees were probably spent on Zirkzee and as good as he’s been recently he will finish this PL season scoring 3 Goals and 1 assists from 32 Appearances.

Agents aren't essential to the club improving, in fact they're probably a hurdle to that if anything. The reason I don't get angry about is agents because they're not employed to look after the club's interests, only the interests of their clients.

Again, I just think many fans act very irrationally when it comes to agents and players in general negotiating contracts. You shouldn't expect them to be looking out for the club's best interests; the club's executives should be doing that. Again, they're just there to get the best deal for their clients and, by extension, themselves.

Also, I don't think it's fair to get annoyed at Onana for this story coming out when it did. It could just as easily have come from a club source, and given that it's Chris Wheeler reporting it I'd go so far as to say that's more likely to be the case.

He'll play, and play well. Many will then go on to say we can cope with him and a GK isn't a priority. He'll then throw another in in the next game or 2 and thus the cycle continues.
