Alonso/Ribery another Ronaldo?

Disclaimer : I am not comparing the players.

All I am doing is trying to make sense of what is happening in the transfer market. Specifically, with respect to Real Madrid.

Madrid have been very open about their interests in Alonso and Ribery but neither Bayern nor Liverpool are refusing to budge. In both cases, it looks like the player wants to leave, but the manager/club do not want to sell.

Any dejavus?

Any ESP's on whats going to happen next season with Ribery/Alonso? (i.e. if it does not happen this season)

Now, besides the "Will he, wont he" sagas, I would like someone to define the term "tapping up". And can someone please tell me if it is legal? Or is it "officially" illegal? I, for one, am getting sick of it. Anyone care to join me?

Rumors are fun at first, then they get annoying. A new player is linked to a club everyday. Real Madrid want every good player, Real Madrid get no trophy. What's new?

Well, trophies arent exactly what Real Madrid are after. They may say that but what Perez is after, is money. The marketing value of any galactico he buys is humongous.

But, that does not mean he can tap up players...
