Barcelona has personal 5-year deals with Cesc (24), Rossi (24) and Alexis Sanchez (22), and will now start negotiating with their clubs [md]
= Tapping up. No bullshit about the media etc. - that is THE definition, but of course UEFA won't investigate it.
needs to done without the clubs consent, plus the club then needs to make a complaint before UEFA will investigate
It IS done without the club's consent. That's the whole point - "they will now start negotiating with the clubs" = blatant tapping up if true. I expect Arsenal will complain if there's any truth to it. We have every right.
how do you know that, for all we know the clubs have said, "go talk to the player, if yuo can agree terms then we talk"
Dont know about the Cesc deal, either its bullishit, or a case of tapping up
Well there's no way Arsenal have said that, and I have my doubts the others have:
According to El Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona has clearly broken FIFA tapping up rules by agreeing "deals" with Cesc Fabregas and Giuseppe Rossi, without written consent, and before reaching an agreement with their respective clubs. Cesc, Alexis y Rossi, OK
To be fair its not about whether you doubt its about whether its true. If its true then we will hear from the clubs in question. A newspaper article saying they have agreed deals does not prove tapping up
Hence "According to El Mundo Deportivo" and "if true". Of course we don't know if it's true but if it is, it's blatant tapping up and they should be, but won't be, punished.
again how do you know they wont be punished? you dont, you're just jumping ahead. Let any facts come out first
Because clubs never are. It's widely known that it happens all the time - it's nothing to do with Barca getting away with it specifically. Dalglish did it, etc.

Dalglish did what in the where?!
Back when he was manager the first time round..
Chelsea were. Its only not punished if it cant be proved. And dalglish doing it way back when is hardly comparable to recent times

It's about how blatant it is - the rules need to be tightened because at the moment, clubs get away with it all the time:
Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough later said, "we tapped more players than the Severn-Trent water board!"
"[Chelsea] were then in the midst of another controversial episode of possibly unsettling/tapping up fernando Torres from Liverpool who mysteriously put in a transfer request a couple of days before the January 2011 transfer window shut. Harry Redknapp, manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has said that activity which verges upon 'tapping-up' regularly occurs in deals between Premier League clubs, and Scott Minto, a pundit for Sky Sports, said that the ban was "extremely harsh" because of the frequency of it."
Tapping up - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wasn't there something the other day from RAWK saying he'd already agreed personal terms with Downing and had told him in Jan not to renew his contract? And then people said "Kenny's still at it" etc.
