Looks like it will be an interesting summer for us blues. The new agent of Rom has been his representative for a couple of days and is already showing his disrespect to the club. I expect he will agitate a move once the season is over. How much do you all think would be enough to let him go?
Not sure about the term 'super' agent, makes him sound a bit camp, 'elite' would sound better I think!But this fella must be of top quality as he assures us that he would have got Rom a starting place at Chelsea. If that's the case then Jose is a fraud, I mean he has blagged us all into believing it is him alone that picks the team. Never once has he given credit to an agent for putting a player on the pitch.

{Ed025's Note - roms agent is just one of a number of leeches and vampires who are sucking the life blood out of the game spud, if we let him go for under £30m then we get what we deserve mate..

Totally agree ed, football isn't the same with all this cash floating around it just attracts the vultures.
I'd say take nothing less than £35m, we want to make a few quid on any deal if it where to happen. But I'm realistic and think Chelsea done a number on us in regards to the fee we had to pay. Clubs will probably start the bidding at 20m, then it is up to the board to dig their heels in. This is all hypothetical as he may even stay, I've seen before, however, how these type of agents unsettle their player until they have to move. Fingers crossed!

{Ed025's Note - his agent..riarsehole..is angling for him to move spud, and it seems that agents are running the game now, so i do expect him to move mate..

This is all to do with Rom. I've said it time and again about this lad. His ego is bigger than his talent.

I myself don't care if he goes. Players come and go all the time. We haven't won the league with him and we won't go down without him. If he goes we just get a bag load of money and bring someone else in.

I care more about players like Barkley who genuinely want to play for us and understand what the shirt is about.


The fact Lukaku's agent wants to bin him off to a second rated league in italy says it all. It's all about the money!

what we need to do is replace BK with Levi of Spuds.
he seems to be able to get top dollar for average players &
other clubs (Chelski) must see Kenwight coming we it comes to the price they can him to pay.

I accept that all posters on this forum can express their opinion - subject to the Eds' rules about bad language and phobic bigotry - and the craic and entertainment value is welcome, BUT does anyone truly believe that all of our moaning about RM, BK, the players, etc., etc., makes any difference to what the club will actually do?
Not only are we posters just a small (albeit vociferous and strongly opinionated) section of the overall fanbase - and are probably ignored as such by the club as we're regarded as "unrepresentative" - but RM and BK have shown themselves by deed and word (although not BK of late!) to be single-minded (aka obstinate!) in pursuing their "principles" and carrying on down the path they've decided upon.
By all means carry on posting - I will, but only to vent my frustrations and not in the forlorn expectation that anything will be changed just because our posters demand it. In my humble opinion, it will take a massive demonstration of fan discontent, e.g. severely reduced attendances and/or serious crowd reaction (such as loud and sustained booing and similar anger), plus another couple of seasons like this one before the taxi is called for RM - unless he leaves off his own back. If he gets it right, then fine and the humble pie will be readily consumed by me. Hmmm - I'd love him to be a success, as that'd mean our club being successful, but I have yet to be totally convinced that he's now on the right track. One thing's for sure: BK is giving RM plenty of rope to hang himself when it goes completely pear-shaped.
Until then - and with no sign of new owners - I reckon that it's carry on regardless.
Ho, hum.

Agree Sid but it's far more humane to rant on here than kicking the cat!
RSPCA would have been called around many times to my place this season if no 'Banter Site'.

Sorry for crashing your post sid

Cobyone. Me and my lad came to the same conclusion. Neither of us are Martinez fans. We reckon Silent Bill will probably only give him the Mirralas money to spend in the Summer then make a decision before the January window.
