Agents have no interest in players
Football agent Jon Smith has warned that players are often herded to clubs they would rather not join on transfer-deadline day.
Smith points the finger of blame at members of his own profession, claiming a minority of agents will happily push through deals which might not suit a player if it means they can earn fast money.
According to Smith, the transfer deadline means many agents need to assess their financial well-being for the rest of the year.
"It has become a rabid world," said Smith, founder of First Artist Management.
"There are too many agents trying to scrap over deals, and many aren't making money. In some cases the agent has to think of himself rather than the player. Maybe it's not the best move for the player, but maybe the agent needs petrol for his Jag."
