Helps for signing players. I guess ultimately it also sorts out those who buy into the philosophy of the club.

The best mod, the best informer/guru, very heplful and humble, good sense of humour... @Mark, you are a catch. If only I knew how do you look like... 
Us being respectful towards players wishes is exactly why we have succeed with so many bargain deals - and this have been one of the reasons why bosman players have preferred us instead of other clubs.
We don't have history of forcing players to the stands like other clubs - and the players and their representatives knows this; hence why they may favor us.
I am pretty sure that is what the management want to convey to future players, and if you ask me, this attitude has been one of the factors for our steady growth since 2011.

Alves' termination is nothing to do with his agent, Beppe said he didn't want unmotivated players here. He's 34 years old and worth next to nothing with a year on his contract.
Agents have the power to advise players to make immoral, poor sporting or greedy decisions. Before the clubs and managers/directors decided the terms of transfer fees or if a player was even to be sold, somewhere along the line agents became more and more powerful, probably because of the influx of money and increased competition for the same players, allowing agents to build up empires and stables of players and become rich and influential enough to play clubs off against each other. Now you either play ball with them or you lose access to top players.

We already have no access to top players cos they are out of our financial reach. Our only chance to have them is to develop promising players and to keep them once they hit WC level. And we can't do that if we get bent out of long term contracts for nebulous reasons. That's the irony.
And regarding Alves, the way Beppe handled that affair will go down in history as one of the weakest moves he has ever called. It will damage Juventus more than losing a 34yo fullback would imply.
Any half-respectable club will have a player like this rot in the stands and fined into submission, unless his new club comes to bail him out with a 10mil € fee. ManC sheikh earns that cash per minute
