Is this fake bid like a false winger?

I'm so terribly confused with football these days, when does the egg chasing start?

Tell me why Everton pretended to make a bid for Alan Shearer then?

Do you not consider a bid of 10million Euros over 3 years, for a player being valued at 15-20 million Euros, to be a fake bid?

We did make a bid for Shearer, we bid 12 million after a 15 million bid from Newcastle had been accepted.

Chris Sutton & Alan Smith we did the same as well.

Dont think we have done it for a while though, putting in low bids knowing full well someone has met the asking price.

It isn’t though, is it.

The lad passed our medical. End of.

End of what?

There was an issue highlighted in the medical which made the club want to re-negotiate the terms & ling appearances to the future payments, to safeguard us in case the knee in question caused a problem at a later date.

That's called prudent business lad, it was note worthy that his current club rejected the idea out of hand? why?

That's EXACTLY what a fake bid is.

A bid which is ‘made’, with full knowledge that it has no chance of it being accepted.

Sorry to sink your battleship, but clearly you don't know the first thing about commercial contract law.

If we make a bid for a defined amount, incorporating defined terms, this amounts to an offer. If the other club accepts, this amounts, surprisingly, to acceptance. The two combined amount to a contract. It doesn't have to be in writing, especially when it's plastered all over the papers. If we were to go back on a bid, whichever club we failed to pay would have a marvellously straightforward case to take us to court and get us to pay up, as well as covering their legal costs.

This, on top of the fact we'd get an instant reputation for being cowboys and therefore have to pay increased fees in future as a show of good will to even get other clubs round the negotiating table.

In short, IT JUST WOULDN'T HAPPEN

Listen to sense or go back to your bottle in a brown paper bag because this tangential topic is getting really, really boring.

They rejected it because it was an unacceptable renegotiation, 8 million over 3 years is crap enough as it is.

All players carry a risk of getting injured, and it really must be stressed, that this guy PASSED HIS MEDICAL.

I bet you half of our squad would show similar concerns relating to the possible prospect of an old injury possibly causing problems in the future, possibly.
