That no contact happens until a transfer fee is agreed?
Really? I'm not talking about tapping up players but are you really suggesting that agents and go betweens aren't used to gauge interest and ballpark parameters of a deal?
I appreciate the all caps though.
and it goes far beyond money, is the last step and the most time consuming. That does not happen until a transfer fee is agreed and or a release clause is activated. After those terms are finalized it then needs approval by the new association, in this case the FA.
Exploratory conversations of interest, availability and likelihood are done by agents year round.
I don't have any problem stating that I know far more about this based on first hand. I am no expert in healthcare though. Ill leave that to you.
