Coming from someone who kept making the same point over and over again about Postecoglou, that's a bit rich. Anyway, I'm curious: since you're reading so much into my post(s), what's my point? And what's yours?
If your point is that football agents just do as they're told by their clients, I invite you to have a look at a number of CAS rulings, as well as about a third of cases studied by FIFA's Dispute Resolution Chamber.
Look at it this way: in theory, an employment contract is an agreement between the employer and the employee. In reality, the employer sets the basic wages in 99% of cases. Same goes with your doctor: you don't have to take the medicine, but he's supposed to know what's best for you, and you don't. There's the law and then there's what actually happens.
Again, I find your outlook on football agents very naive - but it's your right to hold such views, of course. If Vuskovic had a talk with Zahavi, making the exact same arguments as you did (perfectly reasonable arguments, by the way) and Zahavi told him, 'son, you'd better stay at Tottenham for a season and we'll reassess your situation then', I'm 100% certain he'd still be a Spurs player.
To answer your earlier question, I don't have any inside knowledge. On a broader scale, I know for a fact that, except in some specific cases, an agent has a huge say in a player's career path. Add to that the fact that - if I remember correctly (I could be wrong because I think they changed the rules not long ago) - an agent only gets money when the player signs a new contract or move clubs, he's got an incentive to make a transfer happen. From there, anyone can draw their own conclusions.
