How FIFA can licence these leeches is beyond me
I don't think it will. Agents do need to be controlled more but the clubs are responsible as are the fans. Wages have gone up 38% since 2009. This is not a sustainable state of affairs and it raises the wage bill everywhere down the leagues. Clubs want to attract the best players, players bully their clubs, the fans demand the players and so on. Are Arsenal fans telling Walcott to get lost over his wage demands? Did United fans tell Rooney to sod off when he wanted 200k or he is going to City? A club that clamps down will lose their players and their fans. The game is rigged.

This is why it needs FIFA to take action and ban the paying of agents by clubs. if a player wants an agent he can pay him.

Yes as THenry i'm sure players will try and get round this but with them footing the ball maybe they will start to wise up or even listen to others instead of the sycophantic agents who just leech of them for money.

Half the time players want a new contract all the time is because then the agent keeps getting a cut of any new deal

I hope thats the reaction.

Clubs offer overall packages to players. By that I mean clubs have PR links and these are noted when players are making choices of where to sign. Players look at overall enhancements such as player sponsors. Theres no need for agents. The clubs can do it all. If theres any misconduct then they the players have the PFA to fall back on.

Well done to Swansea last night and Brandford night before. I am hoping for a Bradford v Swansea final.

More from David Ornstein on Theo Walcott:

Despite suggestions to the contrary, there have been no formal talks between Arsenal and Walcott's representatives since August, when he rejected a fresh five-year contract worth £75,000-a-week (he currently earns £60,000-a-week).

"However, his stance has softened since being given a run of starts as Arsenal's central striker and, crucially, he does not want to leave the club he joined in 2006. Arsenal are increasingly confident he will extend his stay at Emirates Stadium.

Now that the footballing issues have been resolved, if a compromise can be reached on his salary and image rights, it is likely Walcott will sign a new contract. His representatives are expecting Arsenal to call them to the negotiating table in the coming days and, provided a suitable offer is made, this seemingly never ending saga could finally be put to bed.

I hope it does get put to bed because it is incredibly boring now.

Me too. Just sell him or sign him already.
