I know that this is nothing new in football, but the unsettling of, and tapping up of players, that has gone on this summer is ridiculous, and not good for the game.
Over Berbatov and Barry, both us and Villa have named our price and Manure and the bindippers have actively gone out of their ways to unsettle the players and thus, disrupt our teams in order to force our hands, and get the players they want on the cheap, which I believe is against both the spirit and laws of the game.
As a club, we own the playing rights of the player, which is a contract, just like the deeds to your house. This is not slavery as Real Madrid club member Sepp Blatter believes, as the employee can quit and get a job in any other proffesion, as long as it does not involve playing football, as the player has sold his footballing rights to us. Now to use the house deeds metaphor, if you were selling your house, and a perspective buyer refused to meet your asking price, and peformed actions (e.g. vandalism of said property), to try and reduce the value of the house to get you to sell at their price, this would be classed as malicously damaging our property.
This is exactly what Manu and Liverpool are trying to do, as they are unwilling to pay our price for the playing rights that players have sold us (for many millions of pounds), they are intentionally disprupting the players, to devalue their contracts and force us to sell.
What is really annoying is that the people losing out are the real fans, the premiership is becoming less competetive and entertaining, and players who are stars at their clubs and play every week are leaving in order to sit on the benches at richer clubs. The FA should enforce its own laws and try and restore some dignity to the transfer market.
