Have seen online that Williams was having his medical 5 hours ago so there may be something in the rumour. I mean, surely if it went smoothly it would have been announced by now.
Bit of a sweeping statement. Many agents just look for the best opportunities for the player they represent.
Some however are just as you say - scumbags
Sounds on this occasion as though an agent is agitating for a move against the wishes of the club. His agent does appear to have 2 players on the books at Crewe so I'd guess George Downing to be the agent in question. Also the agent of Dominic Calvert-Lewin so you'd think he doesn't need to stir up trouble!
I know I’m in a shitty mood today anyway due to work and hearing talk of an agent meddling/scuppering a move led me to that.
On the flip side, I went to school with Josh Davison’s agent and he’s a decent lad. I know not all of them are bad. In general, I suspect there are more scummy ones than decent ones but I get your point.
In fact, if the only business we do from here on is to lose Williams but sign Shinnie permanently I'd still say it's a good window and deadline day. But then I think Maddison and Bowyer should be forced to kiss and make up
Who should lean into the kiss first?
I expect it would be Marcus but then I expect Pratley to come straight through the back of him, lips pre-puckered....
On a serious note you do have to wonder about the strange world of football ! what exactly does "unofficial agent" mean ? if it is as seems at first sight them I'm about to put a call into Chelsea and tell them I want 20% of their transfer dealings or they just aint happening.
Look at us chomping at the bait. I'm off til this evening. Too pissed off that it seems like we have no plan C after losing out on A - Randell the Vandal and B - Admiral Kirk
If the Jonny Williams deal to Cardiff is off because Jonny sat down when asked to touch his toes I hope that he gives back the blow up sheep the Cafc lads bought him.
I may have been hasty in saying I prefer Kirk to Jonny

Agent has then gone back to Crewe where they've wondered who the hell he is... Yet have said no when he starts demanding 25% of the deal for himself
As someone said earlier; £500k does seem strange for an attacking player when a defensive one has gone (albeit to the league above) for £650k
It reminded me of some of the nonsense that appeared on our own OS.
It sounded like the manager having a bit of a strop so it's either just been taken down because it's not helpful or to be replaced by a proper update.
Would make sense why we thought we had it in the bag and now frustrated and why Crewe are also unhappy?
Probably not but just looking at it from another angle.
I hope we don't weaken our squad come this time tonight!
