Yeah, but we went to Everton and made a bid, a story they released(with the slant, we said no to the big bad city empire), then we made a second bid and they rejected that too and released another story(Leave us alone). It was only after they ran to the press twice that Hughes responded in the press and that was a direct reply to a question. I am not his biggest fan and even I was applauding how he handled this one.

Vhero, not being funny here but that is the whole purpose of tapping up. Firstly to unsettle them causing problems within their team, and secondly to entice/induce him into leaving! And mate, this ain't papertalk, they were direct quotes from Begiristain (Barca's Director of Football) don't you know.

Didn't know mate but considering we are supposed to have a good relationship with barca now, obviously the club are not gonna like that.
