Who'd believe any Dagenham and Redbridge player would have or even need an agent anyway.I suppose if you have the brain functionality of an average footballer you would need someone to tell you the difference between a good idea and a bad one.
Footballers at much lower levels than ours seem to have agents now. I can understand it to an extent, but what I don't understand is why clubs use agents to sign players.
We never used to, and I think it's a little concerning if we're starting to. It can't be that hard for one manager or chairman to phone another. What's the point in paying someone to arrange it when that money could go towards the playing budget?
Way the game is I am afraid, refuse to deal with Agents and you don't get the Player I would imagine.
As you say a lot of Players with very limited ability appear to have agents,proven by some of our Summer recruits.

Yes .... obviously!!
It was a gentle bit of poking fun at previous comments made before Zavon re-signed.
So.. can we just please move on …. Its time to move on !!!

As far as I have heard, plenty of calls were made, and messages left. If the person at the other end doesn't want to answer, then makes up some random bull on what he says happened to those calls he didn't answer, this is where we find ourselves.

Spoke to Thommo last night he said that he is constantly in dialogue with Carmarthen, and they apologised etc.. And that Wayne was working tirelessly to get the deal done. I asked why it went wrong initially he said they (Carmarthen) saw more pound signs than we were offering.. Looks like today it's advanced and it's close to being done after he's turned down Bristol Rovers.
