Unfortunately this is what football is becoming. Im a big Wenger fan but in all honesty his integrity and values held us back in his later years when super agents become more and more powerful to the point that they dictate a large part of the market especially where a lot of the talent lies. There is zero doubt that we have missed out on talented players as a result of the refusing to work alongside some of these agents in the past.
Also the only real issue I see with Luiz deal is the agent fee's. His wage is what it is and his transfer fee was in the ball park for what he was worth at the time with the market being what it was, would be a completely different story now given everything that has transpired over the past 3 months. But I don't see how an 8m deal requires agent fees of 6m although that number does seem sceptical.
