OverThere Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I wonder if you can be sued for tapping up a player by offering them x per week whilst they are under contract to someone else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 1 hour ago, STM said: I think what annoys me most in this, is that I get the distinct impression that Barcelona believe clubs should just sell them their players because they are Barcelona... compare that to Real Madrids pursuit of Bellingham, where by all accounts both clubs have a great relationship and respect. It's openly trying to unsettle players, presumably with the purpose of lowering their price tags. If you want Bruno, fine, but go through the process correctly by indicating a willingness to pay top dollar from the outset and more importantly be engaging in a respectful manner to the club. I never thought I'd see the day when Real Madrid were the lesser of the two evils. It's not like they even have the money to buy him. We're more likely now to poach players from them. I hope we do.

Not if that's all you've done. The player's club couldn't successfully sue because at that point they wouldn't have suffered any financial damages.

Conjo Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Only way he leaves is if it's for a fee that was truly transformational for us, even under current ownership. It would be silly money in the range of transfer records. Nothing to worry about no matter how sad it would be to see him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Looking at it from Bruno’s perspective, he’s clearly highly invested in the club. His family are over here, he signed when things could have gone very differently and he’s now going to be playing in Europe’s top competition against the elite in world football. If the club now invest in putting quality around him and back up the talk of ambition with real investment then I can’t see him wanting to go anywhere. He’s clearly ambitious for success but so are our owners, manager and fans so as it stands it’s a perfect fit for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I don't think he'll leave in the summer and I've always got the impression that the lad likes being here, but I also think the following: 1) 'emotional' ties don't mean a great deal when you're talking about massive pay rises 2) I don't think the club are looking to do massive wage hikes just yet 3) if he did leave, we'd just go out and spend money replacing him. This isn't Ashley's NUFC - I wouldn't lose a second's sleep re a single one of our players being sold. It would say nothing about ambition - and we're going to sell good players along the way.

You can't sue, but the club doing the tapping can be punished by the FA with fines and transfer embargos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno is not irreplaceable Can't argue with that. I'm sure he'd be happy to sign a new contract doubling his wages, but we aren't at that stage yet, other superclubs are. That said I doubt he's going anywhere this coming season, so I don't see any point in looking beyond that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
