I mean obviously the story is total bull, but I've read stories like this elsewhere.

The grey area is the agent. Utd wouldn't have to speak to Modric directly, but are fully allowed to discuss with the agent anything they want. The agent can then hypothetically speak to Modric about what he would want if a contract was offered.

The transfer fee doesn't have to be agreed, but the selling club must accept that the buying club meets with and discusses with the player (and his agent). A transfer fee can then be agreed upon later on.

This story seems like flimflam in several ways to me, very unlikely that Modric would want to be dealing with stuff like that during the Euros, and even more unlikely that Bilic would accept it.

No they aren't.

The key word is hypothetical. Informal meetings, chats etc. Until it's formally in writing no rules are being broken (or at least impossible to prove they've been broken).

There is no point in us becoming incensed about it. We do it too. All teams do it.
 
It's usually general practice for a "selling" club - where the club has the player on the market, wants to sell, so will allow the player to negotiate personal terms with prospective clubs before any deal is agreed between clubs to expediate the negotiations.

Agents are just that, agents. i.e. their actions are taken to be done on behalf of the player, ergo they are taken as if the player was taking those actions himself. So no, Modric's agent cannot begin discussions with Man U as it is viewed as Modric himself undertaking those discussions.

MK makes a good point that Luka's agent could well be the agent of many other players (I have no idea). A club meeting with an agent can't really possibly be proven to be illegal.
 
You said fully allowed. Man U are not fully allowed to discuss Modric's situation with his agent. Would they do it, probably, but the gap between what Man U and the agent would discuss and agreeing terms is huge.
 
Harry is resigned to the fact that his time at Spurs is over. He believes that the people he has to work with (above him) are a horrible bunch. His words not mine!

Well Harry, I don't think they like you either.
 
MartinLipton@Martin Lipton - Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will definitely make use of Paris St-Germain interest in Luka Modric to ensure he exacts the maximum price if he is going to sell. Levy determined not to be forced into sale to Manchester United, irrespective of any agreement between Croatian and Old Trafford club - as he did last year when Chelsea tried to make it a fait accompli. PSG have the money to blow even United out of the water and Levy would prefer to sell Modric outside Premier League if he has to go
 
Given that lack of actual transfer activity and the boredom of a Tuesday morning, thought it would be interesting to put together a team of those players who we are perpetually linked to. Here's my starter for 10; am struggling for defenders:

----------------------Green-----------------------

---Richards----Tomkins---xxxxxx----xxxxxxx

---------------Veloso-------Diarra----------------
---Kallstrom-----------------------------Downing

--------------Leandro------Benzema------------

People have been saying that M'Villa has been 'wrapped up' for weeks but nothing appears.....kind of like Vertonghen!

Is there one company on the planet where everyone likes and gets on with everyone ? According to these tossers, Harry's had about 3 million meetings with Levy.

Levy wouldnt step without looking first. IF he is to sack Harry and he hasnt yet its because he is trying to line up a replacement

The thing is, given that Harry was nailed on for the England job, Levy has to have already done a lot of the ground work. My guess is, he knows who he wants.

Mike Calvin on the Life's a Pitch YouTube channel, said back in Feb/Mar that if Spurs couldn't get Jose, that Levy liked Moyes.
