Ed’s what's classed as tapping up in a few words?

{Ed002's Note - Klopp speaking directly with players like Werner and Thiago and many others without asking permission and discussing transfers with his club. What Liverpool did to ruin the career of a 12 year old kid for which they were given a ban. What was done to get Virgil Van Dijk to go on strike for six months to force a move to Liverpool after meetings and constant contact with no permission whatsoever. Making an illegal approach to players belonging to Lazio, Fulham, Chelsea, and others with no permission. And I could go on and on and on.}

Coutinho, Suarez and Torres seemed to have their heads turned before an official approach. I'm not defending Klopp because he has caused issues by his actions, but he is not alone.

Ed002 can I ask is this mainly with klopp or is the problem a systemic one at Liverpool with how we do business?

{Ed002's Note - The club has done sumbe stuff in the past (Fulham predates Klopp) but they lack of respect shown is astounding and not welcome. The owners carry zero respect for other clubs and Klopp just acts outside the rues. It is unacceptable.}

Its an ugly side of the game, but as with anything that involves so much money, there's dirty play all over the place and at all levels.

Ruin the career of a 12-year-old? Are you mad? That child would likely not be part of a first team for another 8 years regardless, don’t be absurd.
What Liverpool did may have been unacceptable and rightly got them banned, but you show yourself up with exaggerations like this.

{Ed002's Note - It is one of the most foul and dispicable acts I know of in professional football. Subsequently the club lied to the investigation. The authorities and everyone involved wre sickened by what Liverpool were involved with. Only the Liverpool fans don't see an issue with it. All of this nonsense needs to stop.}

Totally, agree Ed02> We need to stop this nonsense of tapping up players. We keep saying that we are LFC and are chzmpions of everything. So if that is the case, why do we need to tap players up to come to us?

We cannot keep saying that players want to play for LFC cos e are the best team in the world YET have to illegally approach said players to come to us. Those two statements do not compute, I am sorry and this rubbish needs to end. IMO, LFC do not need to do this to attract players.

Cheers Ed002, and Lancaster red that may be the case but it still doesn't make it right.
