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
