Genuinely shocked anyone still thinks "tapping up" is a thing... Literally every single club does it, and there's been no attempt to make it remotely secret for years... Noone cares anymore

Arsenal + Rice
City - Gundoghan

Arsenal stronger, City weaker. I reckon Havertz will fit Arsenal too, but a chance. Hope a closer title challenge next year.

Rice has made the right decision imo. Great fit for him at Arsenal.

I agree it is crap mate. But it has always been like this. We have just stopped bothering to call it tapping up, and now just talk about it openly. If anything it has probably put a stop to some of the shady shennanigans that went on back in the glory days. The game is ruined by money now, in that it is obscene. We used to have money problems back in the day, but they were less transparent. Take your pick I suppose as to which is better.

I think in these transfers, west ham knew rice wanted to leave months ago. They probably told him he could talk to arsenal, agree terms etc, but would only sanction the move once transfer fee was agreed.

Tapping up,is when, imo, a club approach a player who's under contract and his club doesn't know he wants to leave, and poach them (player then forces a move)
