Silkman on SS News

[we_all_loved_freund]

Football agent Barry Silkman on SS News now just saying that he was trying to do a deal for Spurs in January and spent ages in Italy... Says it was on and off about 8 times!

Must have been Tiago??

Maybe the ITK's weren't just making things up when 1 was saying its on and the other saying it wasn't.

Aren't agents tied to players? In which case we could find out which players Silkman is an agent for.

Sample Silkman quote: "I would take a 16-year-old, as long as his parents were happy."

I knew agents were evil, but even so.

Quite right, but here's what the clever football agents do... they charge a club for them to get in touch with the players agent, think its a bit like "i know somebody who knows somebody who is the players agent" Then they all get paid!

Madness!!

He was saying hes done deals where 5-7 people want to be paid agents fees for getting involved.
