Arsenal caught tapping up Baptista

**novaman** · 8th July 2005

Seville's president has accused Wenger of illegally approaching Baptista and even the player has admitted speaking directly to Wenger!

Will we see a record fine or a points deduction? :whistle :whistle

Is it just me or are we getting reports of tapping all time... is it just that club officials are getting careless or is it that the FIFA and UEFA have put pressure on all football associations to stop this happening after years of it going on....

But on a plus note, there are rumours abound that Spurs are now in the lead for Baptista..... I know that it is more than likely b0ll0x but what if :coffee:

Or maybe a certain club opened up the can of worms by whining about something they and others have done for years. Who could it be? Will they stop whining? Will they ever sign an English player?....NON.

more quotes from this one:

Baptista has talked to Arsene Wenger - a move which angered Sevilla - but he confirmed he had passed on the same message to the Arsenal boss.

"It was a fast conversation, in order to get to know each other and that is it," he said.

"But I told him that I had the opportunity to get my passport, which is very important for me.

"I couldn't [have already signed for them] because I would be fined by Fifa.

so why hasn't anything been done about this? :whistle
