Shocking Times exclusive reveals how many deals there were, when Newcastle and other 19 PL clubs did dual representation deals with agents.

On top of the transfer fees paid out by Newcastle in the summer, it is now revealed almost £6m in payments to agents were made as well.

Over £351m was banked by agents this summer, with Newcastle United’s Thauvin and Mitrovic helping MSM to be most successful agents with £67m banked.

Spanish sports daily Mundo Deportivo report Barcelona have told the agents for Sandro Ramirez that he won’t be allowed to go to Newcastle next season.

When asked about rumoured transfer offers, Mathieu Debuchy has failed to nail the speculation, instead saying that he leaves all that to his agents…

Bony’s agent, ““I cannot say anything about which clubs are interested. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes and I would not want to embarrass Wlfried. Will he return to Arnhem after the African Cup of Nations? We will see in the coming days”.

The latest figures of cash paid by Premier League clubs to agents have just been revealed and make interesting reading. In terms of money spent, Newcastle have fallen from 5th (spooky or what) to 9th (we’d all settle for that at the minute) in these latest figures.

Stop all the money going to agents and players, no daft ideas like winter breaks or playing Premier League matches abroad, and scrap as many stupid international friendlies as possible.
