No, you don't.
In England when going for a player from an english club you do.
When going for a player from another club, you do not. Uefa does not have specific rules on 'tapping up' between different FA jurisdictions.

Especially if you consider that Barca wasnt able to pay the wages in the last few months.
True
However, with a low signing on fee it would make sense Ozil demanding such a salary. Low Spanish tax for high earners would also make it a lot more lucrative for Ozil to sign for a Spanish club.
I think FIFA do though.
that of course is true, but I don't think making him the 3rd highest earner in the club(quoted 150k) would make any sense.
Barcelona had to balance their books recently, I dout they would go all out on wages like that.
If Ozil's given that kind of money, it'd cause unrest at Barca amongst other players. New contracts don't get the low tax rate anymore. A law was passed recently iirc.
Didn't Ballack use this to get his high wages.
This is sad if true, he would of been a nice addition to the squad. What does this mean for Fabregas next year though?
Yeah the lower tax for foreign nationals is gone.
Morning Kermit and Co.
How goes it?
How goes it?
We will not get a new midfielder get over it. We may have been interested in one a few weeks ago when SAF said that he would be loaning Cleverley but since then everything had changed, United are keeping the kid and therefore will not launch a bid to anyone. I would have loved to see a new midfielder at OT and unlike many in here who had recently changed their stance because SAF had told them so, I stick to my guns. On the other hand we need to get realistic and agree that the chances of seeing the club signing one this season are low. We will be sticking to Anderson, Carrick, Gibson and Hargreaves.
Ta daa
While I do pretty much expect that he will end up at Barca, it just seems to be pretty vague stories in the the Catalan tabloids which is driving this so far. I doubt Werder would reach an agreement on a fee so quickly. They need a bidding war to build up.
Anyway, we'll have a good season with or without Oezil. If we truly were chasing him then I just hope Fergie does not have a dodgy fallback option lined up, like when he got Owen after missing out on Benzema.

Bremen have denied the stories.
Don't put those cocks away yet lads
Shit, wrong forum
We should have a propaganda machine ourselves.
I reckon this is going to drag out until at least Bremen's CL game next week.
When Ozil will play and the stories will all go away.
That will be torture for some on here, this thread may implode by then

If we really wanted the player then I guess we might still try to get him anyway. It's open for debate, but I think Chelsea and Real are more desperate for the CL than we are, and might not go for a cup-tied player.
There's a feeling that this season may be Chelsea's last shot at it for a while. And I think Real wanted Mourinho specifically for the CL. They are desperate for number 10.
The player himself is more likely to want to stay then though of course.
This is getting more and more like Benzema
Let me know when he's been spotted in a United shirt for the cover of FIFA11 or when one of his teammates tells us it's a done deal

Naah even we won't buy a cup tied player. We might make an agreement to take him and loan him back to Bremen for this season, but if he plays in Champions legue game he won't be goinganywhere. I read a rumour that Madrid have a mega offer for him if he see's out his contract with Bremen and they get him on a free.
Not a day goes by that this thread isnt top of the page, well in fellow muppets.
Well, if Fergie really wants the player, and knows that it's now or never, then I think he might still go for it. The United squad will still have a good shot at the CL without Oezil. The bigger issue would be the player himself wanting to stay rather than miss out on a season of CL football.
I do try my best.
If Fergie really wants the player then I imagine it would have been done and dusted by now and we'll still be none the wiser til they announce it.
I doubt Bremen will get that far tbh.
just like the Tevez, Hargreaves and Berbatov signings.
more like the Smalling, Diouf, Hernandez ones.
Not a page goes by without this kind of post.
If Oezil can't help his team win a CL qualifier then why do we have more than 100 pages of wanking over him!
106 pages for a player thats going to barca 
This is RAWKish

Not necessarily, it's much harder to do transfer dealing after a World Cup
Mesut has spoken to German paper BILD about the so-called done deal:
''I have no idea and I haven't spoken to anyone.''
One thing that always puzzled me - why can't these players set themselves up to be more tax efficient.
Say Ozil signs for United. United pay Ozil offshire company £4m a year and then Ozil himself then bills his own offshore company say £1m a season. He only pays tax on the £1m.

So why not with the Tevez, Hargreaves, and Berbatov signings? He didn't want them enough?
Not always.
Well, I've been making the argument for a while that we can't show our hand too early. We can't win in a bidding war. And starting the ball rolling too early increases the time for a bidding war to heat up. Seems like nobody else has shown their hand yet either.

No just the way we seem to be signing players this last year. It's not like we've really got to worry about the club (werder) playing hard ball this time.
