Agents ruin football, Waste of ******* time. Guys that know nothing about football arguing for a bigger wage for players so they get a bigger wage. Agents should be banned.

even man city didn't spend that amount. Before sacking coaches, i think abramovich should address this issue first

Wouldn't blame him, don't think Scholes has ever had one and his career seems to have gone pretty well without one.

He has stayed at Man Utd for his entire career. Why would he need an agent?
