I think the talk about Bellerin is just Media talk because if City had actually come out with a quote that they were after him without Arsenal being aware, then I would think it would be tapping up.
I think the days of 'tapping up' in this way are largely gone. Approaches are made via the player's agent long before we/anyone makes an approach to the club. It makes sense - why approach a club about a player who isn't interested in coming to us? Once we know they're interested, then we can start negotiating an exit with the club :048:
