All his clients stay at clubs for 2 seasons and they move on so Raiola can pocket a nice fat agent fee.

Ballotelli and Zlatan must have played for 20+ clubs between them.

Mykataryan is in his 4th club in 5 seasons,(Shaktar Dortmund United Arsenal since 2013.)

Pogba looks to be on the move again,(Raiola made £41 million when Pogba moved to United.)

Donnarumma will be the next client of Raiola's to bounce around Europe.
The craziest thing about him is he somehow has convinced his clients he has there interests at heart and maybe to some degree he does but I find it pretty clear that his first priority is getting himself paid. Donnarumma for example is 19 and should be taking his time getting better at Milan and instead is trying to move. Not really sure how it benefits him but the benefit to Raiola is pretty clear

You dont see how moving clubs, getting a big fat signing on fee and a pay rise helps the players???????????????

I mean it can help but how has it worked out for Balotelli or Mkhitaryan in the last few years? It isn't always the most prudent thing to do and an agent who wasn't as concerned with his own pay cut would be more willing to make that point.

Tbf it isn't just Raiola. Barkley doesn't seem to have been best advised either. Same with Rodwell and I'm sure there are many other examples. I've got to think if Raiola was KdB's agent for example he probably doesn't step down to go to Wolfsburg and develop and make his career for the next ten years

I disagree, Barkley was very well advised, I mean hes currently playing for a team that could possibly challenge for the Title.

He is playing for them because the person who was bought as a replacement isn't quite ready to play yet. Rodwell got a few games at first as well. It could work out for Ross or he could be out of contract at age 28 or whatever it is and have no real options on where to go other then way down the table. I think they are equally possible at the moment
 
QPR lose again, something quite enjoyable about seeing a clubs sack a manager doing semi-decent job, and replace them with an utter fraud.

Small club, terrible stadium. Get down you Meffs.

Happened at Birmingham with Rowett as well

Was doing a good job and then got sacked for a more "box office" appointment in Zola

That worked out well for all involved...

wouldnt go that far he showed glimpses of what he could do here, under the right manager he would of excelled.
 
should be in every premier league game. The benefits far outweigh the crusty old fellas saying its ruining the game. too many cheats. See Salah on Monday.
Do you not remember last year, when they used VAR in the cup. Somebody breathed heavily on Salah and he dived, as usual. The ref didn't give it but then it went to VAR and it was awarded. Diving cheats like him will exploit it by "initiating contact", and then throwing themselves to the floor. Then on a slow motion replay it looks like a foul.
