Question for eds.

Guillem Balague is reporting that FCB have an agreement in place with Coutinho. Would this not be classed as tapping up? To my knowledge LFC have not given the two parties permission to discuss terms.

Appreciate any info you cam provide.

Kind regards
Scott.

{Ed002's Note - It would mean his agent has over stepped the mark - we have been through this over and over again.}

I suppose Coutinho's agent 'over stepping the mark' is a good thing for us. All we have to do now is sit back and wait for Barcelona to release an apology and officially withdraw their interest.

{Ed002's Note - That is an extremely embarrasssing remark to make.}

Doing yourself no favours at all there Tommy.

I think he was being sarcastic Ed.

Fairly sure Barcelona haven't flown Coutinho to a meeting with their manager. ah sod it, not worth the effort explaining things.

Ed002 has said many, many, many times, over and over again before that Coutinho and his agent have been flirting with Barca.

Does not mean Liverpool will sell. If Coutinho had to put in a transfer request then things may change but at this point things stay as is, he is not for sale.

Don't want to sound naive here ed as you said it's the players agent that has stepped over the line but for klopp to meet the player he would have had to go through the agent who would set the meeting up I'm not saying it's right what klopp has done but it swings and roundabouts abouts in my eyes and if one is punishable so should the other.

{Ed002's Note - Jesus, you have to be simple not to by now understand how serious what Liverpool and Klopp have done is.}

Dont see what's really embarrasing about what I posted. If Barcelona do have an agreement in place, with a player they have not had permission to deal with, surely its tapping up?
I'm just a little confused that Klopp has been absolutely battered for f@cking up the VVD deal, but when it happens to us, its a simple matter of an agent over stepping the mark.

{Ed002's Note - Clearly it needs explaining again.}

Tapping up will never go away from footy. All clubs do it, neither VVD is blameless. He agreed meeting klopp but know one gives a toss

Bigger clubs then LFC have done it and will continue doing it.

As fans we we need to accept and move on like other clubs have done instead of finding scapegoat.

Now ed no need to be crude calling name's is there, like I said I didn't not condone what klopp done but I do stand by what I said in what is the difference? An agent is a go between and should not be invited to the party until an agreement is made by both clubs, he shouldn't be going behind one clubs back to agree a deal with another that is exactly what klopp done and is getting hung drawn and quartered maybe Barcelona have not met with Phil that we know maybe they have no one knows, but to call me a dumb **** infront of everyone on this site is very unprofessional on your part with very little knowledge about me like I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering as well as a hnc in electrical engineering and in fabrication and welding so yes maybe my knowledge isn't in finance or law but it does not mean I'm a "dumb ****"

{Ed002's Note - The difference is enormous and repeated attempts to either deliberately play down what Klopp and Liverpool has done is stupid and embarrassing. Other clubs cannot even come close to what Liverpool have done - you want me to remind you about the 12 year old kid and his family that they screwed. The players they have turned against their clubs and their sustained unprofessionable behavior.}

So if anyone wants to explain how it's different apart from klopp showing up to speak to the player please do.

I have big boy duties to do like go potty and go sleepies before changing my pumps.
