If it's against the rules, the "everyone is doing it" excuse doesnt really cut it.

Particularly when we're already part way through a transfer ban for a similar offence.

We've got so much going for us to attract and recruit players we shouldnt need to be cutting corners. Hopefully we havent here.

The world doesn't run with rules of fairness in any work sector and football is included, if everyone do this and you brake the rules first you can say nothing In any case, I hope this question goes to our advantageand not against, Mendy isn't mentioned so maybe we are not involved

The way social media is its bollocks to think a well known manager was having dinner with well known player and no pictures taken

Fans would be clamouring for selfies

Not really, consider the Gundogan meeting that was photographed, just a sloppy mistake of meeting in the hotel lobby instead of in the room.

Then take it to Monaco, where there's not that many people to begin with, and the restaurants and hotels are very much used to discrete meetings and customers who don't want to be photographed.

Pep was just today talking about how much freedom he gets in England and how little people bother him.

It's bollocks

You can't go for a shit without it being put on Facebook, twitter or instagram

Everyone is in everyone's life

Plus the media would have people on the books telling them about certain individuals meeting

2031 is too random a number. They will round it up to the next convenient year, 3000.

That's a fair call SM!

Well, since they're considering reporting clubs to FIFA and the French Football League, we know that one of those clubs is PSG.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

The tapping up rule became outdated from the day that agents entered the game. Agents know and advise their clients and actively seek out better deals than they currently have. Some agents even seem to think they themselves own their clients, Kia for one, and as they get a slice of any transfer fee then this is understandable behaviour. This doesn't make it right but when we were pursuing Lescott some years ago, Moyes called us "disgusting" as he wasn't contacted by Mark Hughes, in person. This doesn't happen anymore and everything about a player is known whether any club is interested or not. Without hard evidence to support officials of a club meeting a player with a view to a transfer and without the holding club's knowledge then it would be extremely difficult to have such a meeting as worthy of punishment.

Monaco are obviously worried he hasn't given his long term future to them as of yet. All their high profile players have been handed new contracts...

 

[Joe Hart's Dandruff]

Have we definitely been identified?

 

[oakiecokie]

Have we definitely been identified?

No its all speculation.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Have we definitely been identified?

Yes mate,there was a line up like usual suspects.

Pep was represented by some bloke called Keyser Soze who had this to say...
