Tapping up, it happens in all walks of life appart from football.
You seriously don't see anything wrong with tapping-up? With signing contracts with players behind a club's back so they have no option but to sell X player? K.
I don't know if anyone has answered this as I've only just seen this thread. But AVB has to pay 13.2 million just as Chelsea would. But obviously RA will pay for the 13.2 million, it is perfectly legal and the only advantage I can see is that Porto can't stop Chelsea buying any of their squad, which is something that Porto wanted them to agree to.
So still enormously cheeky from Chelsea. Knew there was something fishy about it.
