this is nice ok..

and in a non... well... corrupt world this might even work.

the reality however is you now it seems need to be sure a player will join you (and you can't ****ing trust anyone) before you bid or you will just be used as leverage and you waste time and you know the next bid on a player in same position knows he's not first choice

If it were Just Liverpool and southampton involved that might even work but its not

Its Southampton pretending they are saints (pun intended) but playing the game just as much as anyone else. Its 3/4 other clubs sniffing round, its agent, its player (who signed a contract as saints fans rightly state) and LFc... all parties are out for themselves so the club following the above process will just get done over

what really happens is

Club bids OR media or agent makes up a bid
Other club tells all other parties what bid is to drum up interest.
other club or interested parties inform media if not done already
Other club don't get back to Club bidding
Players starts dropping hints
First club has no idea what will get player until players agent starts asking for cahs to grease the wheels
and so forth and so on

This is a dirty business.

what the saints fans don't seem to realise is their club just blew it cos no player will sign for them without realising that they can get trapped pretty fast here.... Its like spurs fans not realising daniel levy runs a tight ship but the types of players they can lay their hands on are getting limited as he's proven to hard to work with for agents etc

I would predict there are agents out there right now giving the steer away from southampton for their talents, be it managers players etc cos they can place them and move them easier elsewhere.

You can ALWAYs get a player though... its just you get a lesser player who doesn't see the blockage as an issue.

there is tapping up and then there is flying VVD to a club meeting without the parent company permission. Spectacular don't you think?

You have to remember its not pr for us its about player egos

these guys think they are god's gift and if they see one club saying really want you and then here comes lfc .. well we tried to get these 2 lads but they said stuff you so you are third best but come on its great?

who would you take more seriously?

HOW could one club "doing things right" stop the entire football world form top to bottom from ploughing on exactly as they do.

I can absolutely assure anyone that while southampton were complaining they were also talking to manager's agents round europe about their soon to be vacant position and their recruitment team is talking to players directly.

As are every other top 6 clubs recruitment teams. the formal bid is the very last thing thats done these days
