It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

I think there was some research on transfer odds not long ago and it was exposed that it actually takes very little money to swing those odds.

Absolutely right. They are small markets as bookies don’t like taking big bets where some punters have insider knowledge.

I like to wait till a player gets officially unveiled at a press conference before I can take it all in. Perhaps I'm old skool with too many memories and disappointments of yesteryears.

no your an angler, the fish isn't caught until its on the bank :)

Your move Barca.

Which could be that he needs to sign an extension to protect themselves

If I was Messi & decided I couldn't find any way out, I'd just retire rather than go through the motions.

According to El Presidente, he could leave if he doesn't play for a season. I'd do that, then play in Argentina.

Imo if Messi was to stay it would be because he is ok doing so, otherwise he's either off, or likes money more than football.

Would not be surprising if that threat was yet to be played before this is all over.

I can understand people on here not chilling out though. We have been here before Kaka,jorginho sanchez etc etc, where the information was kindly given but never came to fruition, ITK's are great and appreciated but nothing is ever concrete, I've been around this forum way to many years to take any information as 100%. Let's hope Messi is arriving but don't be surprised if its next season not this..

There is no guarantee we would wait 12 months, as good a player he is we should be moving on if the deal can't be done this time around.

that’s exactly how it works lol.... if you ever look at 2 teams winning for example in 2 scenarios. Like NBA. There are only 2 outcomes if the odds are “even” they don’t offer both teams at $2 they offer both teams around $1.80. Essentially guaranteeing them 20 cents on either side. They shift these odds depending where the money gets placed so ensure they’re always in profit

On Betfair u would get evens the pair........wouldn't pay attention too bookie odds they will just be undercutting the exchange odds....

Betfair exchange is a good indicator but as has been said the transfer markets are very thin and won't take a huge amount too shift the odds

Folks just ignore the bookies odds - unless you’re having a bet of course. Don’t forget we were 10/1 to beat UEFA one day before the result

Calm yourselves.

Don't Panic! Don't Panic!

Calm here. Awaiting an update from Sky regarding Senior Messi's current whereabouts and his luncheon.
