Quote: Mild Rover "Actually, I think that is against the rule. However it is also nigh on impossible to prove.
Nobody takes any notice of this rule - Pearson has been pretty explicit that he isn't, 'can't name the players before the deadline' and all that. He knows it can't be enforced, and I'd be surprised if any club didn't have feelers out, pre-Sept 1st.
That said, breaking eggs is a pre-requisite for but not a guarantee of making an omelette.'"
Speaking to agents isnt illegal, you can talk to them whenever. Its only players you cant speak to. I dont see the difference myself but thats the rule atm
