Fucking agents.
One thing I'll always respect Paul Scholes for is the fact he's never had one. No one to whisper in his ear about ££££ to be made, just entirely focused on his club and club only.

As suspected, Giroud was a replacement, not an addition to the squad.We want him to stay but he is left with one year contract so it’s complicated. Was the recruitment of Olivier Giroud made to compensate for his departure? Yes, we work to avoid being cornered. But we do everything to keep him [Van Persie] and we want him to stay.
If there’s a great offer and if he wants to leave, it will be difficult to keep him.
could also be revisionist to cover their assArsenal scout Gilles Grimandi has admitted striker Olivier Giroud is a direct replacement for want-away captain Robin van Persie.
The 28-year-old van Persie, who scored 30 English Premier League goals last season, last week announced his intention not to extend his deal with the north London club once it expires in mid-2013.
And former Arsenal defender Grimandi has now revealed that the capture of the former Montpellier forward was made with the Dutchman's future in mind.
Speaking to French website le10sport.com, Grimandi said: "Was the recruitment of Giroud made to compensate for his (van Persie's) departure? Yes, we worked to avoid being cornered.
"We want him to stay home but he is left with one year on his contract so it is complicated.
"At Arsenal, there is a healthy atmosphere, he's been here for eight years and he has a real commitment to the club."
Grimandi also said the former Feyenoord striker, who joined the club for 2.75 million pounds in 2004, has his price.
"If there is a great offer and if he wants to leave, it will be difficult to keep him," Grimandi said.
"I would never have thought that players such as Thiago Silva could be transferable and that was the case at a time. There are parameters you cannot handle."
I doubt it because we were linked to Giroud and signed him after RVP told the club he wouldn't sign a new deal with us. There was no need to sign him after we had already signed Polodski who could act as cover for RVP if he got injured.
i thought there was every need, given the lack of real options beyond rvp and podolski - who knows
When we signed Giroud, quite a few posters were questioning where he'd play because he's a central striker and £10m plus for a guy of his age to sit on the bench is highly unlikely. We've now got our answer.
Exactly, without any doubt he was an addition.
