The Premier League has published details of its clubs' payments to agents from the period 1 October 2011 to 30 September 2012.

During this period a total of £77,003,130 was spent by the 20 Premier League clubs on agents.
The amounts shown include payments made by clubs on behalf of players and there were 806 transactions during the specified period, although not all of these will have attracted an agent's fee.

The Premier League agreed in June 2008 that from season 2009/10 onwards each club would publish, on 30 November each season, the total amount it paid to authorised agents during the period 1 October of the previous year to 30 September of that year (encompassing the two transfer windows).

£10,537,982 - Manchester City
£8,600,444 -- Liverpool
£6,818,688 -- Queens Park Rangers
£6,595,905 -- Tottenham Hotspur
£6,490,382 -- Chelsea
£5,580,873 -- Arsenal
£4,436,992 -- West Ham United
£3,681,580 -- Manchester United
£3,485,503 -- Newcastle United
£3,092,891 - Everton
£2,730,539 -- Aston Villa
£2,581,208 -- Fulham
£2,173,762 -- Sunderland
£2,167,833 -- Reading
£1,974,305 -- Wigan Athletic
£1,717,266 -- Stoke City
£1,341,301 -- West Bromwich Albion
£1,248,725 -- Norwich City
£1,100,845 -- Swansea City
£646,106 ---- Southampton

So, we're 10th with £3m spent on agent fees. In this time period (1 october 2011 to 30 september 2012), we've signed
McFadden (free transfer), Donovan (loan), Gibson, Jelavic, Pienaar (loan), Naismith (free transfer), Pienaar, Mirallas, Oviedo.

Do we pay agent fees when we sell a player? Anyway, in my opinion, £3m in agent fees for these players are not to bad. (We should all point and laugh at Liverpool and QPR)

QPR are just the worst club in every way.

 

[Jozzy]

Can't really complain with the amount we've paid.

 

[SingBlue]

There's agent fees on new contracts for existing players as well. Imagine Fellaini being the major expense on that one.

 

[85everton]

Thought the figures would have been more than that. So cant complain really.

 

[Neiler]

Believe it or not its down on last years despite signing far more players. Agent fees just arent about players transfers in tbh - we regularly employ agents to sound out interest in our players from other clubs - Heitinga being an example from the last window. We also employ agents to look for interested investors. Contract renewls are also lumped in there.

 

[tommye]

am i right in thinking city spent more on agents fees than we did on players?

Not everton related but I'd be interested to see how much of QPR's fees made its way into Kia 's pockets

 

[EFCNIK]

I love how everyone's pretending they know exactly what this means.


'Well in line with our recent outgoings and expenditures I believe that this means herp derppppppppppp..................'

 

[toffeejack]

[Julian Carax]

Football can be rubbish at times.

Wish my brother was boss at football, being an agent looks like a decent job.

Whenever there's a chart showing premier keagues expenditure whether thats wages, transfer fees, agent fess or whatever, everton are about 10th.

Always.

I bet we pay the tenth most on lawnmowers and orange juice, too.
