Kyle Eastmonds agent : Sat Jun 27, 2009 5:17 pm  

Kyle Eastmonds agent is Martin Offiah same has Myler at Salford, just hope Mr Offiah keeps out of his development and we don't end up with Eastmond asking for a huge amount of money or a transfer etc.

Martin Offiah will certainly want something to happen just to get his percentage of any movement on money/transfers retc.

I dont think Sir Mc will suffer fools well. If Offiah starts trying to ruin the lad, say goodbye and play smith/wheeler/lomax/next young'un. there is big competition for places in our halves so the club, not the players are in the driving seat.

Martin Offiah would have no chance against the Big Macs.

I don't think in any way, shape or form though, he is out to ruin anyone's career.

Kyle loves playing for Saints and is very happy, Myler wants out

All agents have an interest in seeing their clients move elsewhere. Offiah isn't the first and I very much doubt he'll be the most greedy.

I think there's a real problem with agents representing more than one player that can be involved in effectively the same or closely related deals.

This happened when we were apparently going to sign Steven Wild and Roby was going to go to Oz. They both had the same agent who basically talked the whole thing up then convinced each player that the best thing was to sign an improved deal at their original club and somehow convinced each club that he'd done them a great favour letting them keep their player and walked off with a big wedge of cash for not agreeing any transfer deals.

A similar thing could happen with Kyle and Myler with moves being talked up when players don't necessarily want them. The important thing to remember is that agents earn more cash if they make things happen so they'll engineer moves for their own financial gain not necessarily in the best interests of the players involved.

I must say news that Kyle has Offiah as his agent worries me.

Agents can get good deals for players, and stop them being exploited, however the agents themselves often exploit the players and imo give them dubious advice, purely and simply so the agent can benefit.

I wonder for example if Danny Brough is under Offiahs agency, as it would not surprise me if Offiah would then try to do a double deal of getting Brough to Saints and Eastmond to Wigan or Wire.
Simply spreading the rumour re Brough could be used to unsettle Saints youngsters to convince them to move on.

Kyle Eastmond has asked for Shaun Long`s Money "fact" and they`ll give it him, don`t listen to anything else you hear, its rubbish.

I wouldn't give Eastmond 50% of Long's money if Long was on £100k+

I don't believe for a second Kyle has asked for the same money as the Lance Todd Legend.

Agents = bottom feeders
