“There were one or two agents I could trust. I saw others who weren’t caring for their players, only for their fees. You can’t stop the corrupt nature of it. They say: ‘I can get you this player for €50,000, his market value here is €1m, but I can get him for €50,000 and my commission is €250,000.’ We still have a great player for €300,00, compared to €1m over here. Am I right to do that? I could go to the selling club but the agent has a hold over the player. Some serious money is leaving the game.’’
