How's Barça's GMs comments not tapping up?
Just wondering out loud 😕😕

Bottom line - every club does it, just a matter of getting caught.

{Ed001's Note - you clearly do not understand what you are talking about.}

All Red, you are aware that it was Cou who tapped Barcelona up and not the other way around, right?

To be hones ti'm more concerned about the fact that Macca has said someone from the club has been in contact with Keita. given RBL's stance so far this could be very dangerous.

Either we are yet again tapping up, or privately RBL's stance has changed somewhat and we have been allowed to talk to the player.

Tapping up maybe not but surely could be classed as inappropriate or at very least unprofessional. I mean openly commenting on another team's player.

{Ed001's Note - how so? We are in talks with them over a deal and they have commented on that. What is the issue other than the usual idiotic attempts to pretend everyone else is making as much of an arse of things as LFC is?}

Why can't we just say that VVD tapped up LFC then?

Ed01, klopp lfc and fsg are all saying he is not for sale at any price so I think lads are drawing conclusions from that and if it was true then Barcelona would certainly be overstepping making comments like that, but as your saying a deal is being discussed then all we can take from it is everyone at our club are a shower of liars, which shouldn't be to surprising given our antics,

{Ed002's Note - There is no "tapping up". It was progress being reported - no more. You need to understand what tapping up is.}

Tapping up is when a club or a third party talks to a player about a transfer without the players clubs permission. Barcelona haven't illegally approached Coutinho they're just unsettling him so he can force a move through. We spoke to VVD illegally as we didn't get Southampton persuasion to talk to him hence why we withdrew our interest and apologised.

Only because it is a direct contradiction of what has been said by LFC. Just my opinion but I don't think any club should comment on a player that belongs to another club. The club still say Coutinho is not for sale yet Barcelona say they are close. That must have an effect on the player.

{Ed002's Note - Of course not - the player has made his position clear already. He wants to leave.}
