It’s a difficult one. In my view the crux of the debate here is ‘do intermediaries impartially facilitate the most financially efficient moves at the request of their clients, or do they unsettle relationships between players and clubs in order to facilitate moves for their own financial gain’. It’s likely a case of both being true. Clubs themselves are also guilty of holding onto ‘assets’ rather than living, breathing players that they’ve taken the time to develop. they might be useful in the future (financially or in terms of performance) so the club will say what they need to in order to keep the player, even if a move would be advantageous for their long-term development. Sometimes the final decision was the right one, sometimes not but it isn’t something anyone can predict with much certainty. I’m a Chelsea fan and personally have no problem with Rudiger’s move. I can understand the board not wanting to break the wage structure but can also understand a 29 year old defender’s desire to cash in on the big contract he had rightly earned. I also think intermediaries are useful in this situation because the most efficient outcome was achieved with their help - Rudiger went to the club which valued him most highly
Finally a comment that is not all about emotion. I still don't get how fans haven't figured out that players are not fans of the club they play for. The are employees. They have to look out for themselves and their family. It's just funny how fans think a 29 years old footballer shouldn't go get as much money as he can get for the last years of his career
Rudiger isn't worth breaking it for....he's a good to very good cb in a 3....he can't play a 2 .....if it was a van dijk, varane, terry or rio etc then id go all out but he's just not worth it
Exactly!! And to make it worse he choee the smallest offer on the table... why is a player greedy when he was asked to accept wages way less than everywhere else was offering?? He owes chelses nothing but market value at a minimum

Salary is one thing but asking a club to pay an extra 10 million to a player(the equivalent of a transfer fee) to a player they already own just to get him to stay is greedy.
@@lesliecrawford783 Hindsight is 20/20. There’s no way the club could’ve known they’d find theirselves in a situation where they wouldnt even be able to extend the contract anymore whether they wanted to or not
@@mlsarchitect They would’ve paid him but were trying to negotiate his price down. How would they know they’d be sanctioned and unable to even match his demands
This was so interesting. I love how they asked the “sore subjects” However, I just wanted to hear more of the stories he had to tell. The part about Chelsea’s old owners costing them £100, maybe more was so interesting
For everybody wondering, Saif is a professional middleman. An agent works with the player day to day on things he may need. An intermediary does the deal and nothing else. Rudiger and Paqueta for example, are not signed to Saif
@@MrDunkycraig yep. The idea that he "makes the deal happen" is just bizarre - either that or football clubs are run by utter idiots. If I want to but your car I'm happy for use to speak and see if we can agree a price. I don't need some guy running back and forward between us with the various offers, only so he can take a chunk of the money in the end.
@@MrDunkycraig as he said, he made West Ham aware that Paqueta was available and in budget. Essentially his job is to know who’s happy to relocate. What league they’d like to relocate for and the fees involved. If working for a player it’s to try and find clubs who’d be happy to add that individual. Most agents don’t need / use intermediaries however a lot of independent agencies do or agencies without strong links in a certain part of the world. For an example a Brazilian agent might need assistance in Europe
I'd ask if he was so happy to stay why not wait and speak to new owners or even reach out to potential new owners to determine what could happen?? Not like he didn't know club was going to be sold.
Chelsea had from August to March to sign Rudiger & did not offer him a contract - Chelsea believed Rudiger was a product of Tuchel's back 3 system & were never going to pay him & I agree w/ it b/c Rudiger was shockingly bad in the Champ League KO stages & the Prem at the end of last yr..... This man is just doing his Job - Simon & Souness are Jelly🤣
Chelsea was in a position where they couldn't resign any players. In all reality Rudiger was shite under Lampard and at the time being 27 being shite I'd not offer him a contract either...
What are you talking about they could have signed him after the uefa cup and even the middle of the season but they didn't want to pay him and now we are paying 40+ millions for defenders who will probably not going to be as good as him
Exactly. At a point the old regime couldn’t make any offers to Rudiger. Their hands were completely tied regarding his contract situation. But they just make it sound like the club didn’t want him and disregard the club’s situation
well you dont resign players 4-5 months before their contract ends, they had years to resign him. if a club really wants a player the deal is offered before the final year of the contract starts. that way if a player does not want to sign and is delaying the decision the club can think about whether he is stalling them in order to get them to make a better offer or in order to go on a free and take a nice bonus on top. then the club decides whether to make a higher offer or sell him (like mane). so chelsea had a lot of opportunities to resign him during his time there. and 27 for a central defender is fantastic, contracts signed at that point cover the generally best part of defenders career, 27-32/33.
Just reading the headline, I wanted to agree with the agent…I came away feeling Simon was totally correct in what he said and Rubie make a clown of himself.
It's a hypocritical attitude to blame agents for wanting to get the best deals for themselves and their players. What else did you expect? And who doesn't do exactly that in whatever field they are in? In an ideal world, agents would not exist but they are a symptom, not the sickness. And clubs have not been innocent in this and agents are at least partly a result of how clubs used to treat players.
I liked this conversation. It was provocative but also well conducted. The truth can be provocative at times but it takes grace to handle and dole conversations.
No one can out talk Simon. He’s too intelligent too fast and you’d need a dictionary to understand his vocabulary! Also he’s nearly always right and a good guy👍🏻
The guy decided he is gonna come on Talksport and go all guns blazing on Simon Jordan. Result- Embarrassment to all the agents in the football world. Whatever Simon said about the pool boy saif didnt have an answer. Simon leads 1-0 Agents
Agent's job is getting the best deal possible for his client, not pleasure the side of bitter former owners turned pundits. We've all seen Simon bashing Mino time and time again, when clearly he was loved & respected by his clients. Tells you all you need to know

@@crewtc1987 In fact, it seems they brought him on the show to roast him. To make him a scape goat and he held his own. I would ask you to listen to him objectively again. You will understand the jobs of agents/intermediaries more. I can also safely assume that you are a football lover. If you are, then also assume that Rudiger is your son. Would you ask him to stay at a club when he can earn more money elsewhere? Don't forget that footballers careers end at 40 years old max. I am a Chelsea fan too and I have no hard feelings him going elsewhere. He is 29 years old too.
You should have got Jamie Carragher on lads. Knowing Carra called out this little weasel of an agent Saif Rubie few years ago about his dealing of ex Liverpool youth academy player Bobby Duncan. Check out Saif Rubie awful historical tweets pretty shocking that Liverpool fans caught Rubie off guard. So Saif Rubie delete his account few hour later in same day because of it. Fact
I’m not normally a fan of Simon but he’s definitely right when he says “so we’re learning the square root of jack”. This guy came in swaggering in thinking he was gonna be dropping Truth and bombshells everywhere and we got nothing but a crappy infomercial of someone no one cares about or likes.
Your not a person to call out names, but the first thing you did was called out Simon for something he said 4 months ago with the information he had at that time.... so what Saif basically said was that a player who's contract is running out at a club can demand the same amount of money they want from another club, that's just pure greed. Why should a club have to pay agents or intermediaries to resign a contract.
Why do clubs need to pay agents? What do you do when you purchased your biggest asset? Lets say you want to purchase a house, the biggest purchased for most of us, we need an intermediary an "agent" it'll be stupid to go into a deal of that caliber without a professional in your side agree? Then whats the difference between that and singing a deal with another club, one of the most important deals in your career and life, it'll be stupid to go in without a professional on your side. See? This is why they need to be in the game you can hate all youbwant but these are facts.

@@MrDunkycraig no input ,what does Simon have input just waffling on talksport .what "input" does he put ? Lmao.
Salary is one thing but asking a club to pay an extra 10 million to a player(the equivalent of a transfer fee) to a player they already own just to get him to stay is greedy.
If you don't want to pay him to renew what's the issue with him leaving to go somewhere where they will pay him?

This man is lying...letting us in on half the story
I love how he came out with Arms Dealer out of all the jobs he could've thought of, as if he didn't come across shady enough. Freudian slip?
Simon Jordan IS THE REAL DEAL ... LOVE HIM
This was so interesting. I love how they asked the “sore subjects”
However, I just wanted to hear more of the stories he had to tell. The part about Chelsea’s old owners costing them £100, maybe more was so interesting
simon was just too aggressive, as per usual, to allow the guy to say more.
@@TataMataAkrobata he should shut and let people talk
Why is this guy on here apart from ego?
He literally compared himself to an arms dealer... that's some narcissistic traits he has
Get off Simons nuts, it was an example. Jeez y’all dick ride Simon like his not a condescending pos.
Simon not apologizing for being wrong is just amazing
And he's not being called out for this.

For everybody wondering, Saif is a professional middleman. An agent works with the player day to day on things he may need. An intermediary does the deal and nothing else. Rudiger and Paqueta for example, are not signed to Saif
correct
What use is he then? Seems hes not adding anything to a deal
@@MrDunkycraig yep. The idea that he "makes the deal happen" is just bizarre - either that or football clubs are run by utter idiots. If I want to but your car I'm happy for use to speak and see if we can agree a price. I don't need some guy running back and forward between us with the various offers, only so he can take a chunk of the money in the end.
He comes across as a complete prick too. You forgot to mention that.
@@MrDunkycraig as he said, he made West Ham aware that Paqueta was available and in budget. Essentially his job is to know who’s happy to relocate. What league they’d like to relocate for and the fees involved. If working for a player it’s to try and find clubs who’d be happy to add that individual. Most agents don’t need / use intermediaries however a lot of independent agencies do or agencies without strong links in a certain part of the world. For an example a Brazilian agent might need assistance in Europe
I'd ask if he was so happy to stay why not wait and speak to new owners or even reach out to potential new owners to determine what could happen?? Not like he didn't know club was going to be sold.
He as happy to stay,
but much happier to leave.
Chelsea had from August to March to sign Rudiger & did not offer him a contract - Chelsea believed Rudiger was a product of Tuchel's back 3 system & were never going to pay him & I agree w/ it b/c Rudiger was shockingly bad in the Champ League KO stages & the Prem at the end of last yr..... This man is just doing his Job - Simon & Souness are Jelly🤣
@@jackzeldon2883 this guy said he was offered a contract?
With all the uncertainty? Nah.
@@BlackVelv that’s why he’s saying speak to them to find out things, making less uncertainty
Chelsea was in a position where they couldn't resign any players. In all reality Rudiger was shite under Lampard and at the time being 27 being shite I'd not offer him a contract either...
I think Rudiger only looks good in a back 3 that’s why he was average at best under Lampard
What are you talking about they could have signed him after the uefa cup and even the middle of the season but they didn't want to pay him and now we are paying 40+ millions for defenders who will probably not going to be as good as him
@@hbb7528 The last season he had at Chels was his best... Before then he was bang average
Exactly. At a point the old regime couldn’t make any offers to Rudiger. Their hands were completely tied regarding his contract situation. But they just make it sound like the club didn’t want him and disregard the club’s situation
well you dont resign players 4-5 months before their contract ends, they had years to resign him. if a club really wants a player the deal is offered before the final year of the contract starts. that way if a player does not want to sign and is delaying the decision the club can think about whether he is stalling them in order to get them to make a better offer or in order to go on a free and take a nice bonus on top. then the club decides whether to make a higher offer or sell him (like mane). so chelsea had a lot of opportunities to resign him during his time there. and 27 for a central defender is fantastic, contracts signed at that point cover the generally best part of defenders career, 27-32/33.
In the same way Riola was an intermediary…
Bobby Duncan and Liverpool FC know what a piece of work this Saif Rubie bloke is.
Just reading the headline, I wanted to agree with the agent…I came away feeling Simon was totally correct in what he said and Rubie make a clown of himself.
John bostock Bobby Duncan scenario nail in the head from Simon
I wondered what happened to Bobby Duncan. He was great in the City youth team.
Plays Spanish 3rd divison
Bobby Duncan hates Saif Rubie, blames him for the direction his career has gone.
Jamie Carragher called this agent out with Bobby Duncan issue few years back.
Guy had balls to make himself an enemy to everybody in the room, starting with Jim, condescending to Graeme, all while taking on Simon 🤣😂🤣😭😭😭
It's a hypocritical attitude to blame agents for wanting to get the best deals for themselves and their players. What else did you expect? And who doesn't do exactly that in whatever field they are in? In an ideal world, agents would not exist but they are a symptom, not the sickness.
And clubs have not been innocent in this and agents are at least partly a result of how clubs used to treat players.
Fair play Simon.. well said..
What a likeable fellow he is…
The facial expressions of Souness 🤣
Eye rolling
Lmfao Jordan's reaction to Barry silkmans name mentioned bahahahah
I liked this conversation. It was provocative but also well conducted. The truth can be provocative at times but it takes grace to handle and dole conversations.
No one can out talk Simon. He’s too intelligent too fast and you’d need a dictionary to understand his vocabulary! Also he’s nearly always right and a good guy👍🏻
He might seem intelligent to you 😉
@@HAIDER5414 we have a fanboy a sheep SJ is God
These are the guys hiking the price of the players and over pricing them to get extra cash into their own pocket.
The guy decided he is gonna come on Talksport and go all guns blazing on Simon Jordan.
Result- Embarrassment to all the agents in the football world.
Whatever Simon said about the pool boy saif didnt have an answer.
Simon leads 1-0 Agents
Whoah whoah whoah this man is not an agent he is an "intermediary"
Agent's job is getting the best deal possible for his client, not pleasure the side of bitter former owners turned pundits. We've all seen Simon bashing Mino time and time again, when clearly he was loved & respected by his clients. Tells you all you need to know
Graham souness was ready to sleep during this interview lmao 😂
Like Simon and Jim wouldn’t dump talksport if a rival show offered to double salary, money grabbers
He was explaining how a signing on fee works to Souness as if he knew nothing about football😂
At the time where people are struggling to eat it is very hard to hear about 10 mil fees etc. what I would like to hear is part of Add ons goes into helping the people who need it the most
Simon is such an intellectual genius. Love to go for pint with him.
He's a radio noise maker🤥
The absolute state of Saif 😅 as the saying goes 'it's not what you know it's who you know'
Rudiger intermediary Saif Rubie accuses Simon of making up stories then waffles on endlessly with his own make me up stories.
There is a Netflix drama in this world of football "intermediaries" - two full episodes based on this conversation alone.
🔥🔥🔥😁 one of the best episodes ever on this channel
It takes a lot of hard work and confidence to do such interview, bravo to him
Everyone knows how greedy agents are, I would have more respect for him if he slapped a wad of cash on the table and said "loadsa money"
Simon Jordan is fearless and very clever. I love him
This guy stinks of anger
Spot on whatever you said you said it on the radio🤣👍 bout time Simon got to put in he’s place he’s been getting to carried away
Agent bot…
Did you even listen to the interview?
@@tomnewell8886 the comment I made is completely irrelevant to the interview tbh I remember Simon bad mouthing rudiger and now when been confronted he claims the comments he made was of something he read nonsense
@@yelladean2598 just hate him because you ain’t him.. don’t know how anyone can disagree with what he says in this situation… they’re all greedy, the AGENT is clearly and corruptly protecting his asset in Rudiger. You think by having a script that he’s probably been preparing for weeks to try and catch Simon out will change Simon’s mind? He still thinks agents are rats and out for themselves. Just stop being spiteful about someone who’s clearly very knowledgeable and can actually spell… unlike you. Who would I listen to, you or him 😂 sit down.
Well Done TALKSPORT GREAT GUEST!!!! Continue with the Great Content!!!!🥇👍💪
Eat, Sleep, Repeat, Simon Jordan & Graeme Souness = Top LAD Proper Clobbers 💯 Facts 💪😎👍
Simon a Top G
Audio was a bit suspect but great interview swoop right on time.
Love live shows! We need more of this!
@Simon you need to consider players opinions, Rudiger is 29 and he can make is choice to play in any clubs
Listened to this on the radio and he's looks exactly how I expected him to look🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What’s that meant to mean?
Saif Rubie is your typical - I’ve got somewhere by watching someone speak rudely to people and that’s the best way to go…
Very rude and aggressive and I’m surprised that anyone deals with him - Vile piece of work
Even Bobby Duncan himself said you lied and didn’t say stay at Liverpool
Rudiger has a salery of 315 k a week. Chelsea had never going to give him that
Also he was great he’s not worthy of that amount of money a week let alone a £10 million signing bonus
This should have been titled the many faces of Graeme Souness 😂
Simons fucking class man
Simon is a great asset to this show
Jim White has mastered instigation🤣🤣
Yeah he loves it lmao
Rudiger and Chelsea should stay away from him. Saif Rubie has been charged over an email sent to Marina Granovskia.
They tried too hard to bully the Saif guy. He is so calm.
Exactly 😂🤣
And it's quite fascinating how everyone in the comment section are saying Simon delt with him very well...
Whereas the rest already had a bias stance against him and siding with Simon... 😂
@@tlangelanishikwambana8596 Brainwash is real. I can bet every single person that said otherwise didn't really listen to Saif or betterstill, they did not understand all that he said. They have all been brainwashed.
Wonder why you’ve immediately taken the side of Saif?
@@crewtc1987 In fact, it seems they brought him on the show to roast him. To make him a scape goat and he held his own. I would ask you to listen to him objectively again. You will understand the jobs of agents/intermediaries more. I can also safely assume that you are a football lover. If you are, then also assume that Rudiger is your son. Would you ask him to stay at a club when he can earn more money elsewhere? Don't forget that footballers careers end at 40 years old max. I am a Chelsea fan too and I have no hard feelings him going elsewhere. He is 29 years old too.
You should have got Jamie Carragher on lads. Knowing Carra called out this little weasel of an agent Saif Rubie few years ago about his dealing of ex Liverpool youth academy player Bobby Duncan. Check out Saif Rubie awful historical tweets pretty shocking that Liverpool fans caught Rubie off guard. So Saif Rubie delete his account few hour later in same day because of it. Fact
I’m not normally a fan of Simon but he’s definitely right when he says “so we’re learning the square root of jack”. This guy came in swaggering in thinking he was gonna be dropping Truth and bombshells everywhere and we got nothing but a crappy infomercial of someone no one cares about or likes.
"wall on the wallpaper merchant"
When a brown belt tries to take on a black belt 😂😂
I read the French news. Lyon definitely got more than £50m for paqueta excluding adds on
Your not a person to call out names, but the first thing you did was called out Simon for something he said 4 months ago with the information he had at that time.... so what Saif basically said was that a player who's contract is running out at a club can demand the same amount of money they want from another club, that's just pure greed. Why should a club have to pay agents or intermediaries to resign a contract.
Why do clubs need to pay agents? What do you do when you purchased your biggest asset? Lets say you want to purchase a house, the biggest purchased for most of us, we need an intermediary an "agent" it'll be stupid to go into a deal of that caliber without a professional in your side agree? Then whats the difference between that and singing a deal with another club, one of the most important deals in your career and life, it'll be stupid to go in without a professional on your side. See? This is why they need to be in the game you can hate all youbwant but these are facts.
