Bernardo Silva

[MillsyTheMosher]

i believe tolmie said €85m

I’ve literally just said that ?

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Greater than £80m could be £80.1m, that’s not €100m. a €100m would be roughly, £90.9m. As much as I love him, we ain’t getting £90m for him, nobody is paying that this window and next summer he’s a year older with a year less on his contract.

And if nobody pays it he won’t be sold. It’s really not that difficult to compute.

 

[not my fault!]

It’s about 13-14 million difference !? 80 mil euro is 67 million pounds based on the current exchange rate. Quiet a big difference.

Where you buying your Euros, I’m in Paris a lot so I’ll buy some lol. It’s 1.1 £ to €

 

[Decepticon]

Kind of explained why right there… TH is given info whereas Jack is fed directly. €80m or £80m is not really worth picking at, it’s £7.2m difference when converted give or take.

94.582839 Euros to be exact :)

8/15 to go to Barca which is not great as the bookies very rarely get it wrong .

We’d have every right to be steamed if he goes for less than 80 mil pounds.

Literally means nothing.

Didn't Cucurella go into 1 to 6 or something?

Mugs game.

But he will because he’s not worth £90m and city won’t sell him for that. We don't want him hanging around if he’s not happy, it will eventually spill over in to training, on the pitch or interviews after the game. Look at reactions here today, that’s no good for the fan base either and the club will sell at £80m I’m sure just to get it done, and in reality £80m is fair. Don't forget he wanted out last summer and was persuaded to stay another year with a promise he could go this window, if we negate on that what message does it send to him and others? It’s more than pleasing the fans or getting what we think he’s worth, as I keep saying he’s worth what someone will eventually pay and that number reduces each window.

Silva has always been odds against but in the last hour something has happened to make the bookies slash the odds .definitely something happening behind the scenes .

It went short but went back to Long odds . Never thought he would go but somthing is going on .

Or they are reading forums and gossip tweets and covering their arses.

Funny thing is Leeds could be taking them to court over non payment of that he raphinna fee .

The bookies?

Unless there balanced with odds against it means nothing.

If the bookies are offering more then even on staying (which would be the case based on this in a true event, transfer odds aren’t really gambling just another way of Sky or whoever to make money and a bit of fun).

If they are, I ain’t looked but that would say something (no insider knowledge but would show the betting pattern)

Are we sure that Barcelona's new tactic is not betting on themselves in the hope they sign him and will use the winnings to find their last five signings and this is driving the odds down?

 

[franksinatra]

How can the club not have a definite number one left back target at this stage? Were in the middle of August. Bit late to start scouting.

Sorry Jack but sounds like rubbish to me.

Oh Paul. You aren’t the sharpest tool in the box.

Somebody staking as little as £20.00 can cause a major shift in odds when it comes to transfers.

 

[andyhinch]

Fucking hell not only is joining an opponents forum bad enough you sprout what surely has to be bullshit about transfers whilst saying tuchel is attacking. For anything less than double that the broke cunts need to be offering the 3 i’s in gavi pedri & fati and still being told another 10m

The truth is probably somewhere between the media and what we’d hope for, he doesn’t make or break us, life goes on.

Jack is the most informed journo out there on City so it’s certainly not rubbish. Cucurella was always our number 1 target hence we now don’t have one as we expected to sign him.
