Who's next to leave the A-League?

Aussie Agents up to their neck in it?

You can almost smell the greed of the Aussie Agent. An Agent who seals the deal for the likes of Brendan Santalab to get a gig in the A-League only to work his socks off to move him and any of his other players as quickly as possible to North Asia, the Middle East or even Europe.

If Brendan Santalab can leave for China before he kicks a ball for the Fury and let's face it he must have a great Agent, and Adam Griffith is in the Middle East as we speak after just one game for the Gold Coast, then you wonder if he has the same Agent.

Or if all Agents in Australia are the same. Could not careless about the local game.

Why is Griffith there? $900,000 a year compared to $300,000 apparently!

So who are the next five to be whisked before the end of August?

Jason Culina, Carlos Hernandez, Jacob Burns, Diego, and Robbie Fowler?

Closely followed by Kofi Danning, Ben Kantarovski, Mitch Nichols, Sean Rooney and Jason Hoffman after the Under 20 World Cup..maybe. Watch the Agents circle that tournament.

Aussie football Agents are doing the right thing by their players, getting the best amount of money for them as quickly as possible even if they have just signed a three-year deal, but really it makes you sick dunnit.

Are the Aussie Agents the only football people in Australia who could not give a toss about the local game, the local product?
