Hello eds,
I've been wondering recently (as many LFC fans are) about Salah. I perused the search engine and searched "approach" within the search engine but didn't find my answer.
Ed002 had mentioned a coy bit about Salah approaching Real Madrid (via agent or otherwise; I'm painfully unaware of how this all works) .
Is he suggesting that Salah and his agent has contacted the Spanish club to force a transfer? I was hoping one of you privy to the situation could elaborate, if possible. So often, we read about clubs coming for players and not the other way around.
Is that accurate? Is that typical? I guess I'm naively wondering if players are considering leaving the club during what I feel could be a period during which they make a genuine push for the '18-'19 title (VVD and Keita incoming and such) .
It's easy to understand that Madrid has an allure for Salah. But to be concise, Salah has reached out himself (? ) to Madrid about a transfer and is he unhappy?
TELL ME HOW TO FEEL PLEASE (just joking and thanks in advance) .
{Ed002's Note - I cannot be expected to keep going over the same thing again and again. Try searching on Salah then search the page for Ed002. Or try searching oin Madrid.}

How have you managed to write an essay on something that has been covered about 100 times.

Guess I didn't use the search function well enough. Have a happy new year.

I think maybe like we need to stop throwing random names out there? There are thousands of professional players, hundreds of ones that are LFC caliber, and dozens of ones who MAYBE have been linked to the club.
This is the equivalent of throwing a fishing lure into the ocean and wondering why you're not catching anything. No harm in it, of course. But it just seems like we could do this for years (e. g. Is XYZ of interest? OK thanks) .
I want success as much as the next LFC fan and have my entire life. This just seems like a funny chore for the editors.

Thanks, Ed002. I phrased the second part of that post poorly. More accurately, I meant that supposedly Neymar, Messi, Suarez had spoken to Coutinho (and also with Barca) about the benefits of a potential transfer.
My friend works as a scout for a London club and he mentioned something called "soft tapping up" -- is that a common term and is it accurate in this apparent instance where players work as agents for the clubs?
I tried searching the phrase but didn't turn up much.
Thanks again,
JCS.
{Ed002's Note - Well the rules are explicit and talks of "third parties" which includes the players and your friend is correct and the term he uses is a good one. What we know is that Coutinho and his agent made the approach via players and the club - and that is of course wrong - and very similar to the Ashley Cole/Chelsea situation. I have mentioned before how poor Liverpool are in dealing with the transfers - but no one ever asks about others, and it would include both Spanish leading sides and Manchester City. AS for his "soft" term, he is correct - and clubs have to live with players talking with each other and asking about clubs/cities - and that is likely not something anyone could control. Players are briefed at the start of the season about plenty of stuff, from how to behave, what not to do, to changes in rules. It always cover such matters - but that issue persists - across the board. Great comment, thanks.}

Genuinely curious. how is Phil able to "agree terms" with Barcelona but not LFC? Supposedly Neymar, Suarez, and Messi spoke well about Phil to the brass at Barca.
Are those not examples of "tapping up" as well?
Cheers,
JCS.
{Ed002's Note - It would be if the players or the club were approaching him.}
