Rotherham United always seem to shoot themselves in the foot, with divulging players we are after, instead of getting a bid in, run its time & come out with a player.
Then there is the players agent, who will advertise that a team are after the players he represents, so other clubs come in, shove the price up for the player, makes a better cut for the agent.

Looking at the transfer of Paul Pogna to Manchester United, looking at a £100 million fee, the agent to pick up £25 million fee from it.
