De Bruyne?

Mr HJ said:
Some great signings made already including three 18 year olds that bode well for the future. This guy though is the most important one, we desperately need someone who can pick out a cross - I like Navas, but his final ball is poor and too few assists. De Bruyne will open up teams as well as score some important goals. I hope they get this one over the line, I would say more important as value for money than Pogba.

In terms of next season I'd agree, but in he longer term when Toure is gone and to make a statement that we have moved up a level, Pogba is the one.

Makes no sense. Two mutually exclusive outcomes cannot both be odds-on. Either City is 11/10 or Wolfsburg is 5/4 - or this is completely made-up.

Mmmm how does a bookie make a living if the odds equalise to 1? It would be made up if what you said above happened as there isn't a bookie alive who doesn't give themselves am edge

That's certainly true, but there are other outcomes quoted here which would ensure it doesn't add up to 1. Anyway, if it is genuine, it shows they haven't a clue whether he is going to City or staying at Wolfsburg (basically 50/50) - or that any money wagered is fairly evenly divided. So doesn't actually tell us much.

I doubt the bookies even have an opinion they let the £'s determine the odds and shift them to maintain a margin, nowadays an algorithm on a powerful Server in Ireland probably does everything.

That's why I said "money is fairly evenly divided". They don't have an opinion in footballing terms per se, but they certainly have an opinion based on where they see the money flows going. Similar to a floor broker in stocks or commodities in the old days (memorably depicted in Trading Places for instance).

To clarify my own position, I'm just relaying information passed my way. A couple of people are more comfortable with me relaying this info rather than jeopardising their own positions or getting the grief that the likes of Tolmie get.

Obviously I do a bit of due diligence before posting it on here, but hopefully the stuff I have posted has vindicated the decision to pass it on.

That's why often I don't have the answers to specific questions, and will never jeopardise their anonymity by going into more detail than I need to.

I certainly don't crave any attention, just want to share stuff that people will find of interest.

Thanks for keeping my identity under wraps, mate.
