Eris Kismet is back in the news today, asking why he’s hearing so much about Christian Benteke ‘dreaming’ of playing for another club.
Erm, you don’t Eris – want to refresh yourself?
Lovely thing about quotes, they get archived!
So, yes, both sides of the agent coin. Talk up your player to affect the decision you want, get the decision as per Paul Lambert’s comments the other day, and then praise the realities of staying and not moving due to interest.
But we lap it up, it works, the agent gets his cut and at no point did he even confirm the interest. But to say after announcing ‘Certainly Inter is one of those clubs where Christian dreams of playing. A move in the summer? In football everything is possible…’
‘I keep hearing that Christian dreams of playing for different clubs. But why dream when he is living a fantastic reality at Aston Villa? He is certainly not thinking about leaving.’
Is cheap, poor, shoddy but unfortunately seems to be how they present themselves and is of the standard we expect from agents in today’s money driven, ‘gis a cut’ shambles of a game, judging from how we see them act and comment in the media.
It shows an affront to the fans who make their clients heroes, and it shows an affront to the clubs that give their clients a chance and a living.
And all they do is stir the crap in the press.
‘It is always impossible to predict the future in football, but, at the moment I am 99% certain Christian will start next season with Aston Villa in the Premier League.’
Many will say Premier League is the 99% guess, Benteke is contracted for 3 more years. Is he going to do a Peter Odemwingie? Do you think Paul Lambert in that scenario would be as forgiving as Steve Clarke seems to be?
Christian is with us until we decide otherwise.
We showed that with Ashley Young and Gareth Barry especially. James Milner sadly less so, and I won’t even reference the player Middlesbrough fans were correct about. Damn, I just did.
‘Paul Lambert, the club and the fans have all been very good to Christian and that means a lot to him.’
Make it mean something to you in the future Eris when you answer non questions to stir things up again eh.
‘I keep hearing that Christian dreams of playing for different clubs.’
‘Certainly Inter is one of those clubs where Christian dreams of playing.’
6 out of 10…must try harder to not contradict yourself, there’s an art to this game.
