HalfTimePost Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Makes "Uncle Jorge" at Wolves look like Santa Claus. It's a tad speculative but what do we think about the link between the club and Kia? If it's true & deep rooted it's a disaster waitinf to happen imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 So El Ghazi came to us on loan before signing a permanent 3 years ago. He has been surplus to requirements for us this season so Kia got him loaned to Everton Coutinho we have got for 17 mill and he has taken a massive paycut . Luiz has recently changed agent to Kia with a view i think of getting a decent move . And finally he MIGHT have helped with Diego Carlos. Looks like he has been a decent agent in terms of dealing with us . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Clubs use agents all the time. I don’t imagine he’s a nice bloke but most of them probably aren’t. They’re a necessary evil unfortunately. Nothing to see here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that dodgy transfer/part ownership thing with Tevez and Mascherano he hasn’t really been up to much publicly as far as I am aware. Just working away as a ‘normal’ football agent.

useless Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I can't find any references whatsoever to us having some sort of Mendes style association with Joorabhian, there's not even a rumor of it, the only connection we have to him is that he's Coutinho's agent, none of our other players are with his agency. He helped with El Ghazi because he's an adviser to Everton owner Farhad Moshiri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I actually thought El Ghazi was a Mendes client as after Wolves success we apparently worked with him on a few deals after they went up, that random Portugal keeper who played one game in the cup for us was certainly someone who came in that way. That's just the reality of football for most clubs now bar odd ones like Brighton and Brentford that have fantastic scouting networks or really go deep in analysis. Most clubs just get an agent to shop around their clients and see who's up for coming, have a look at the why Cardiff signed the late Emiliano Sala. It certainly wasn't because they'd scouted him much, Nantes appointed a U.K based agent to sell him that window and he got shopped around a few clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Middle men always get painted as words removed because it’s easier to blame them than the people at either end of the deal. But they’re just doing a job. Look at the Kane situation at Spurs and you realise why players rely on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) As long as Aston Villa still have a say in which of his clients they sign then I don't see the issue. Having a good working relationship with agents (or "super agents") doesn't seem like a negative. In theory treating agents nice so they keep us in mind when their client wants to move is just smart business. That said there doesn't seem to be much in this link.
