I wouldn't give Eastmond 50% of Long's money if Long was on £100k+

I don't believe for a second Kyle has asked for the same money as the Lance Todd Legend.

Agents = bottom feeders

Eastmond can't demand Long's money, the reason Long is presumabley paid so much as he's been the best English scrum half for years.

There's a major difference between the Eastmond/Myler scenarios. Offiah can tell Myler to move so his talent equals trophies. Eastmond will pick up trophies at Saints so there is no better place for his to be, especially with Long moving on at the end of the season.

It's amazing that all these insights always come from posters on their first post.

Why should Offiah cause you any more worries than the current crop of agents do?

swap deal and £50,000 for myler

simples

Prove it

If he has, it'd be bye bye Kyle...

that includes this post.....!

Kyle hasn't asked for SEAN Long's money, whoever told you that is full of e. Kyle want to play for saints and win things, If he performs his wages will look after themselves

Therefore he doesnt need an agent!

Something is clearly amiss with Kyle Eastmond. In the precious few times he has played, he has made an impact in almost all of them. He seems to have it all, the cocky attitude, the passing game, pace, a step and a clever kicking game. Being a midget his defense isn't great but he could always hide on the wing like Long himself does. He seems a perfect match for our vacant scrum half spot next season.

This all makes it surprising that he isn't given any game time at scrum half, or anywhere for that matter. Games like the Celtic home game are perfect occasions to give him the time to learn the position in the side he would be leading the following season. But he isn't even in the 17.

It makes you wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes with his contract, another player signing in his position for next season or both.

If the club expect him to step up and replace Longy next season with absolutely no experience then it's incredibly harsh.

But, at the same time, we're aiming to win the GF at the end of the season, and leaving your first choice scrum half and play maker on the bench probably isn't the best preparation....

Everything is a compromise between success now and success more long term. So If you accept that, then that game was one to compromise on. It's not as we're not points clear if in the unlikely circumstance that it all wents tits up.

why does it matter who his agent is? Regardless of who is his agent, they will all do exactly the same thing to get the best for their client...if a young player wants to earn ridiculous sums of money rather than play for the number1 club - is he the type of person we want at Saints?

For me it mainly matters who his agent is when the same agent also represents another player that may involved in the same or related deal. In most other forms of business he'd have to declare a conflict of interest and only represent one side of any deal.

that would be true, but there is no such deal on the cards.

He doesnt need to, time will prove him right, then you can all apologise.

Have you always been so stupid? yes Kyle want to win things, he also wants to earn a living and a good one, you need to get in the real world.

Everybody has to make a 1st post sometime.

Eastmond on Long's wage?



Funny if it's true.

He`s asked for it, not got it yet, but i think he will.

I think this story's rubbish!
If Kyle starts to demand Longy's wages at 19 then goodbye. If he proves he can hack it at 7, and he hasn't anywhere near proved that, he should get a big increase, if he then breaks into the england squad, then he might command longy's wages.

Surely any deal he gets will be based on achievements as they come along. All deals for young players step up year by year but no club is going to immediately offer one of (if not [ithe[/i) highest wage at the club to a completely unproven injury prone youngster. Imagine what that would do to players like Graham, Roby, Wilkin etc, all regular internationals who would be earning less than a player that can't even hold down a regular 1st team spot. They would either leave or demand at least as much as Eastmond.

I'm very confident that Mr Mac is wise enough to understand all these issues and will make the right decision.
