The simple answer to this whole thread is money. Clubs want the best players they can get to form the best teams they can becasue that will in turn draw in more players and more money. A club can not form team of say 15 players and then have 4 players say well I got offer from another club so never mind.
I think we all know at some point a club must draw line and say in order to have team we must know who is commiting so we can make a team.



Sure that's valid, but does that really change things if the player declines the 'offer under pressure?' Does that infer that there is someone just as good waiting in line for a spot?

The club should just offer a position at the same time they do for everyone and wait until the deadline for acceptance is over. The pressure tactics may get them a player but does it benefit them when these issues are brought out for anyone to see? My opinion, it's bad PR.
