So the transfer window opens on July 1st.

I think the next step for the FA is to bring in a "tapping up window". Starting on June 1st for 2 weeks clubs are free to tap up players without recrimination.

It would make things a lot more open and honest and would make Klopp's life a lot easier. Let's start a petition 😎.

It's quite stupid that you cannot talk to the player directly but to his agent. What's the ducking difference. The players are represented by the agents anyways. Someone with brains should put this into prespetive. Either don't approach any parties other than clubs or let the players have a free role where they want to play.

What if Wijnaldum talked to VVD when they were having a drink together. Lol you cannot microscope all the things. Could you?

Remember how the entire Barcelona players persuaded Fabregas to Barcelona without even having a sweat!

There could be plenty of occasions when players come together and have a talk about these things. It's completely a dumb rule.

Second that's all good now.

Just flip the coin a sec.

Breakinh news coutinho in spain meeting with barcelona manager and ceo, because he's decided he wants to play there.

Or how about

Coutinho's agent meet behind the scenes with the sporting director of Barcelona. Any difference?
The only way you stop the player is the player himself commiting to the club!

Oh there's a huge difference.

Do you not think coutinhos agent has spoken to every single team around the world since he's been with us.

Its a whole different kettle of fish if coutinho does it.

How is that different to Neymar for example constantly saying in the media that Coutinho should join Barca? This is what makes the whole thing so ludicrous, everyone has heard the stories of national team meets turning into come and join us sessions. We all see the comments in interviews about this player or that player. The fact the CEO or manager isn't the one talking directly to them shouldn't excuse it but it does. At some point they really need to say that everyone keeps their mouth shut about players at other clubs.

In terms of VVD situ maybe I've missed something but all the talking I've seen has been from the player and his agent. Is there any evidence Klopp has spoken to the guy? The fact VVD says he likes Klopp's passion doesn't mean they've ever spoken a word to each other in their lives. Have I missed something or is it likely to be as someone else suggested, they want to sell to City for the higher amount so they're trying to kill off the chance of him moving elsewhere?

Bull! That's coz Phil wants to go to only one club! Hazard was all over the Internet before he moved to Chelsea as well Grizemann and now Auba!

The rules are what they are, LFC know them, they have been warned many times and need to clean up their behavior if this is anything more than Soton trying to save face.

Or simply ask the players club permission to talk, just a thought!
