1. Do some agents use agencies (for tactical and cultural fit) to determine which clubs would be best for their players growth. 2. How often do agents use football journalists to (a) drum up interest in the player and (b) put pressure on the buying and selling club. 3. Do agents use scouting tech like wyscout to sign players without having ever personally watched them. This question is mainly for more unknown players. 4. How different is the day to day for an agent when the transfer window is open and when its closed. 5. How are agents fees calculated? Is it a percentage of the transfer fee or do some agents just have a flat fee?

I’d like to know how various clubs interact with agents. Are some more friendly than others or is the relationship usually dictated by the agent. You often hear about animosity between clubs and agents and I’ve always wondered which side is generally to blame.
