Hob Nob Anyone?

Thought I’d post up Kia’s current list of players he’s reppin. Any you’d like to see us go for?

You can guarantee he’ll be trying to flog us one or more of those listed; and a few are ooc.

The first three without a doubt, the rest can do one

Interesting that there seems a perception that he has some sort of hold at the club yet there isn’t only one player under his stable playing for us. And a second who we tried to sign but failed. Seems his major influence has been the mass loan signings a couple of years back which was done under extremely generous financial terms.

I'm not sure it's quite that simple with Joorabchian. He's not your traditional agent who represents players, he seems to be someone who is a bridge between different agencies.

As an example, Rafael is represented by Bertolucci Sports. Bertolucci Sports is run by Giuliano Bertolucci who apparently represents Philippe Coutinho with guess who.

Kia's role/influence at the club is way more than just player-related.

He is heavily involved with the Thais, and likely brokered the deal between Pairoj/Thaksin and Dai. Hard to think there's not at least some sort of vested interest in the club from him directly or via Sports Invest.
