This kind of approach is often made through the player's agent. The aim is to unsettle the player and facilitate the transfer of the player. It is expressly forbidden in many professional football leagues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapping-up -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-07-02 16:16:18 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- :))))))))) |
