alex for my own curiosity, would you give me your interpretation of ‘tapping up a player’?
Speaking to a player who’s under contract with a club without the clubs permission.
You’re not telling me you think clubs say I like the look of him, offer his club 5 million, they accept, you contact the player and he says no thank you?
That is exactly what I am telling you :silly:[/quote]
Thank god you’re not in charge of our transfers! :woohoo:
And then there’s the small problem of his reported £70,000 a week.
And then there’s the small problem of his reported £70,000 a week.If we all know he’s on 70k a week I’m sure Martinez did before placing the bid.

Same goes fo you fella, we would have a transfer ban after our first enquiry!

I am sure if you refer back to the article you gained your vast insight into this transfer from you will also see he was willing to take a pay cut to move back to Britain.
If there was ever any contact I imagine Martinez and McGeady’s idea of a suitable wage cut were worlds apart.

I love your view on transfers but your argument isn’t valid as in terms of transfer policies a club is allowed to a) make an enquiry about a player and b) speak to the player with permission from his parent club. Facts. No bans would follow BUT if truth be told, I’d have a permanent touchline ban and more than likely behind bars for assault with some of (lack of) decisions we get so I’ll give you that one.

I’m pretty certain that there is so form of contact between a club & a potential transfer target before a hell of a lot of deals are done.
I don’t think that contact would be between Bobby/Whelan/A.N. Other from Latics & McGeady directly but through his agent – a lot of players are represented by the same agents & a lot of clubs approach the agents & ask who they have that may be interested in joining em. He says yep, McGeady would be some prelims are discussed & then agent goes to player who says he’d talk to us. Bid goes in, is accepted & possibly player hears from his agent that another club are interested & have indicated they would pay at least £10k a week more so McGeady says he’s no longer interested in talking to Latics.
Just a theory but no rules have been broken & I know that happens (a mate of mine deals with agents at a top flight football club)That said, all the goss goin on at the moment about Latics & McGeady could be b0ll0x
Not sure I’d want someone “basically breathing” down my neck.Sounds a bit weird to me, that.
Just an expression Garswood.. But still it pays the bills ;)
Tyldesley – yes it goes on, but it’s still illegal. It’e even illegal in the Wigan Amateur League.
Mind you, riding your bike with no lights is illegal too, but no-one’s arsed.

I’d say that’s likely to be a pretty realistic account Tyldesley.

It must be right then. Hail to the font of all knowledge. :)

There’s nowt in the rules against the scenario I described. It’s the club’s meeting/talking with the player involved that isn’t allowed. All my example was was a general discussion
And I’m @r$ed about people riding bikes without lights on. I nearly ploughed into some bell end the other day doing that – no lights & wearing a black top & black keks
