Isn't this just agent tactics? Make the comments to the media and vilify the client to such an extent that the damage is irreparable. Then take the blame and pave the way for the move.

I remember Owen's agent being on holiday for a couple of years.

Agents are instructed by their clients, not the other way round.

Yes?

The bad spelling bit?

That is what the relationship should be. However... An agent with experience trying to set up on his own and two of his young inexperienced naive clients both behaving the same way.

Madness to think the agent is not leaning on him.

Indeed. And members of parliament are dutiful servants of the public.

Equally madness to think that it is the agent trying to get sterling a move and not Raheem instructing to get him the **** out of here.

He's just a kid with potential, who sounds like he can't be bothered putting in the time & effort here. He'd much rather go somewhere that he doesn't have to try as hard to win things. A weak little boy! You have to work to achieve greatness,he wants it handed to him elsewhere so let him go.

The bad spelling bit?

I'm lost too?

[Fivex]

Fosterbloke has a typo in his Est username.

I don't think he is doing anything against Sterlings will, I think that this is what Sterling wants or at least what he thinks he wants. The agent isn't forcing Sterling to do anything against his will.

But I am fairly certain that Ward has been putting ideas into his head for weeks/months to get Sterling to want this, by constantly telling him that the club don't value or appreciate him, that he could get more money, more medals, etc elsewhere. Eventually he has started to believe that it's best for him to move on, he (Sterling) probably believes that this was his idea. That's the way great manipulators work, and IMO that is what Ward is.

The client may want a move, the agent can facilitate that. I think its incredibly naive to think that a lot of this won't be part of a sequence of planned events resulting in a move elsewhere, managed by the agent.

Yes, Sterling may want a move, but I think some of these events will have been created by Ward to aid his client.

Aidy Ward was on holiday with his family in Wales?????

No wonder the ****er wants to cash in on Sterling, even I'm taking my family to Spain
