from things i;ve read on the press I think there are some players who listen to their agents so much their own intelligence doesn't come into it.

The stories I read about Robinho wasn't that he was told he was signing for Manchester and assumed it was United but that he was just told by his agent to sign and he did without even knowing the club he was signing for. He got rid of his agent not long after the move to City so there could be some truth to that.

The other season we had Wes Brown whose contract was about to run out. Every time Fergie tried to talk to him he got the old don't talk to me go through the agent. The agent just wanted more money and Wes nearly ended up at Newcastle, not better for him in a football sense, but they listen to the agents so much they don't think for themselves.
