We as a club need to walk completely away from this deal now on principle and if we don't, I'll be disappointed. Ekitike needs to realise his agent has screwed up any move, not just one that have bagged him a higher signing on fee. Fucking morons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Agree it’s probably time we walk away from the Ekitike deal. Shame as it seems he’s a talent but his agent was clearly causing issues. Hopefully we refuse to do business with that agent going forward and publicly walk away from the deal as I think it adds to this view building around how our lot conduct business. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the young lad doesn't regret this. Careers can go down the pan pretty quickly and he has missed out on a good contract with a club full of potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put him through a pretty serious hazing on day 1 of training though. #neverforget 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Ekitike is still only 20 and is obviously being badly advised, but I'd make him sacking his agent a condition of us coming back in for him. Nothing worse than a wannabe hanger on agent who only cares about milking as much money from his client as possible. Parasite it too kind a word for those types.

Howmanheyman 36270 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Unless the kid has signed some sort of waiver giving total control to his agent then I reckon maybe he just doesn't fancy it enough which is reason enough for me to not be that arsed. The agent works for the kid, not vice versa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone, with sufficient confidence, tells a 20yr old kid he knows what he's doing and all that, he's going to believe it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone, with sufficient confidence, tells a 20yr old kid he knows what he's doing and all that, he's going to believe it. It's up to the agent to tell him his options and advise him of them. It's up the lad to weigh it up and decide. If the fee is agreed and he's not happy with the money then don't sign but I've read the lad is happy, the club is happy but the agent isn't. If the lad wants the move he'll instruct the agent to get the best deal he can within reason. If the agent says they're offering X amount I think we can get more it's up to the lad to make a decision to get the agent to carry on negotiating or walk away. I can't see how he's happy with everything yet can't sign because his agent won't let him. It's laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6790 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 At the age of 20, I imagine they're more considered 'advisors' than 'agents'. I wouldn't all be surprised if the agent is driving every decision he makes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
