It means nothing.

The odds fall as more people put money on the player to sign. But reducing the odds, the bookmaker has less chance of losing money as they start giving out less money to winners due to the lower odds.

Punters throw money on a player moving to X or Y based on rumours they read in the paper or on twitter.

Pity. The corresponding odds on him staying put and moving to other clubs have drifted slightly. All connected I guess. Thanks though.

I can be an indication of something happening- like SAF's retirement or Moyes' sacking, but generally if it's been reported as a rumour for a while, odds varying slighty means nothing.

It's more unsual, for example, to see Eden hazard suddenly drop to sign with United after 0 rumours in the paper or on twitter, which would be worth looking at in my opinion.

Now I know why I avoid twitter; my head would be wrecked from all the what ifs and guess who's!!

Any bet of any significance placed in these markets, will affect the odds. I guarantee, you walk in to Paddy Power and try to have 500 quid on Vidal signing for United, and the odds will be slashed and they'll offer you €100.

keane2097 · 08-07-2014 11:25AM

Betting markets with tiny limits, e.g. transfers, have no predictive power whatsoever. You would be as well to kill a chicken and have a look at its entrails for information about Vidal.

Anything on what will be on the inside of the Utd badge this year?

user2011 · 08-07-2014 11:30AM

Seen on reddit.

A Nike spokeswoman said talks were ongoing, however, telling Press Association Sport in an email: "Manchester United are a great club and we remain in discussions with them.''

Hopefully more money to be had from all involved.

We're going to get a megadeal from one of them. If Nike do decide to opt out, I really hope Adidas come on board. The thought of Warrior designing our kit is horrific.

Crimson King · 08-07-2014 11:36AM

Wonder if Germany get knocked out tonight if anything progresses with the Hummel rumours? Or if they are just finally put to bed. Think he would be an outstanding signing.

Personally I became frustrated over the last few seasons at how many games between them Vidic and Rio missed. Twould be great to have a settled defence again.

Mr_Red · 08-07-2014 11:37AM

Id like to see Puma

If any team loses in the semis, they won't be coming home till the day before the final anyway as there is the third place play off to play.

My first thought when I seen the Liverpool third was :mad: they could do the same if they get it.

No doubt the Glazers will string them up for every last cent they can get which makes me think Warrior will be a bit behind were the Glazers want.

I'm up for Adidas to get it myself 10 years of Nike it was a good run, time for a change.

according to this: http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2014/Jul/New-United-home-kit-press-release.aspx

The message 'Youth, Courage, Greatness' is printed on a label inside the jersey; but there is nothing mentioned about the crest.

Those three stripes automatically make a jersey look good.
