It's common place for the personal terms etc to be sounded out before agreeing the other bits. Crouch on one of his podcasts went through it.

You still need the selling clubs permission to speak to the player first though right?

I think it's pretty obvious this happens all the time. No club wants to go through the hassle of getting a bid accepted only for the player to tell them he's not interested.

Well yeah, that's why I asked if there was still a rule against tapping up. Darren Bent didn't just wake up one day and decide to put in a transfer request.

Private jet has just flown over Walsall and looked like it was landing at Birmingham.  European based player flying in for a medical perhaps?

Maybe it's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
