Sorry guys...  I don't think any huge transfers are gonna happen this summer.  I made the bet like a couple weeks ago at the football transfers thread but no one bit.

It's gonna be all loan deals mostly fo sho.  It's also gonna be interesting how the current mid table clubs go vs the top 4 next season.  Wolves could break through with that squad imo.


Edit:  Oh...

@toke ok I'll take you on for that. 50m GBP certainly qualifies for big money transfer in this period I think. And yes, with Newcastle on the verge of sealing black gold deals, you bet there's going to be a few big transfer requests splashing around. It all depends now on whether player and club agrees. The money's willing.

So that's $10 to you if big money transfer happens? When's the cut off date? season restart?

Yup big transfer happens, you win.  None, I win.  10 bucks...  The cut off date is whenever the EPL says the transfer ends.

Quote and confirm and lezz go!  Grin

I saw a rumour of Pogba to Real today, 70 million pounds. I think Pogba will definitely leave Man Utd this summer so that could be your first big transfer this summer boys. Also I think Timo Werner definitely goes somewhere & Sancho will be going for huge bucks.

^  Sure!  Smiley  You could also take me football transfer bet if you want to.  It's hard to define what a big money transfer move is tho.  Is that anything over 50m GBP?

I think yeah, anything above 50 million pounds is a big money deal. Put it this way, if your club spends 50 million on a player and he flops would you be disappointed?

You want to bet that there will be a big transfer during the summer or that it won't? If you think there won't be, shoot some odds and if they're good, I will take it.
We can say 50 mil GBP, yes. It will be hard to name a team that will pay that in the current market state but there will be some players for sale (like Coutinho for example) so I'm thinking there will be at least one big transfer.
Could also be Werner to Liverpool but that one will probably be under 50 mil. GBP.

@DeathAngel Nah don't know much about Aguero personally but I don't think he's the kind of player who would begrudge Liverpool the title when others in his own squad believe it's won by the Reds already

@toke we'll save our $10 for next season then;)

@LFC_Bitcoin: Yup, thinking we'll be doing the open top bus celebration I think even in 2021.

@hilarious: Quote from this article after the meet: "If the National League can find a workable solution -- average points-per-game is a favoured option -- it may trigger a similar move in League One and League Two."

I don't think Prem will ever go for that but if they did, that would give Liverpool 107 points this season =p

@tokes: $10 it is, on the league to restart vs you thinking it'll get cancelled? You know, since BTC's going to be at a new ATH at the time the bet settles, I'll take you on;)

Oh that bet...  I thought you were talking about the football transfers one.  DeathAngel and already confirmed and I got two to one for it.  Grin  I can't take your bet as it would be unfair to DeathAngel.

But if he's ok with it, let's go.  I say that league gets cancelled and LFC declared champion, points and places as they are.



You two can have a bet of course man, don’t let me stand in the way.

It seems the PL & club officials had productive talks today, the season is still planned to finish.....probably.
Right now situation is very scary for all even authorities also not clear about what to do but if they able to have training sessions good without any big trouble then surely we will able to have this all back soon otherwise its going to be cancel option.

Aguero probably has an agenda because he knows City can’t win the PL. I think he probably would mysteriously be happy to play CL football because City have a good chance to win that.

Well, it's a legit observation. However, more than half of the clubs in the league have nothing to play for anymore.

If there was not the issue of huge money on the table, 15 out of the 20 clubs would probably vote for the season to end. The only thing making them finish the season is the broadcasting money.

The PL clubs will probably get that money regardless of what happens. The PL will likely be obligated to pay them it unless they have a contract that says otherwise. Can't imagine it's a well we didn't get paid so you can't either sort of deal.

Yeah you’re right, plus there’s the legal obligations because I’m pretty sure Sky & BT would be taking measures to claw monies owed back. They paid to broadcast the games in their TV contract.

I don’t think fans will even be allowed to go to the games at the start of the 2020/21 season.

Aguero had an interview today stating how scared the players are to return to play. If the players feel like that, it will be really difficult to force them back, especially in such a short time frame.

I think there is a conference today regarding the health and safety issues, perhaps we will know more about it afterwards. Some people are even proposing that players wear masks, that would really be crazy.

Here's the link to Aguero interview in case somebody's interested.

Aguero probably has an agenda because he knows City can’t win the PL. I think he probably would mysteriously be happy to play CL football because City have a good chance to win that.

I don't think Aguero will care more about Liverpool winning the league than his fellows colleagues and others players health and safety, I could be wrong though, but you should also know Aguero's won one and still have two trophy to challenge for, though.

I strongly doubt any Liverpool player would also be so willing take the field now, tbh.

How do you play 90 minutes even in a closed stadium thinking solely about if any of your opponents could be carrying the virus or even someone from your own team ? Do you they shake and/or hug each other before or during the match, how do celebrate a goal ? or do they play a football match were a defender needs to be 2 meters clear away the attacker ?

The FA really needs to understand that there are certain situations you just have to accept, and this is one of those situations...

PS: My side bet offer is still up for grab..

@hilarious That is some pizza, bet they even get is closer to cost price, the hell to ask fans to pay so much, criminal. Re players not wanting to play, I do get their worries. I just thought it was surprising a lot of players thought this. Maybe I'm cynical to think most players are stubborn superstars breaking quarantine all the time for sex worker parties.

We’ll see how Germany’s Bundesliga gets on first I guess as they return first, they’re already training. I think money is probably behind the big leagues going back to play but it is what it is. Fit, young footballers are very unlikely to get seriously ill, it’s mostly older people who get badly ill.
Bundesliga delayed their return decision. They won't return  in action on 9th May and decision will be made on 6th May:
https://www.goal.com/en/news/bundesliga-return-decision-delayed-coronavirus-angela-merkel/17runzge6t6l516kcz6yq7e4tg
There is only few leagues which announced return dates. Switzerland will resume season on 8th June, Czech Republic 25th May, Poland 29th May.
IMO, it's not worth to expect that EPL will return earlier than July. These countries which planning to continue season don't have many new virus cases and already lifting some quarantine restrictions. While in England situation is still one of worst in Europe.

Comeback is getting closer. Looks like June might be it, but govt would need to relax coronavirus lockdown.

Quote
But now league chiefs have sent a games schedule around to all 20 clubs ahead of a crunch meeting on Friday.

The best-case scenario would see the first behind-closed-doors games take place on Monday June 8, meaning training would resume in mid-May.
source: Premier League plans to return on June 8 as clubs sent new timetable to finish season despite coronavirus crisis

If the season is cancelled and Liverpool gets crowned as 19/20 champions, do they get a special trophy to commemorate winning the league title in a atypical fashion? I'm asking because the last time something extraordinary happened in the PL was in 2004 and the unbeaten Arsenal and they received a golden trophy...What color would Liverpool's trophy be?

I strongly doubt this would work, really. Even if the league great gets underway yet again, I don't see the possibility of all fixtures being concluded before another interruption, perhaps a total cancellation this time around.

If anyone is interested, I'm in for 10 bucks side bet that if the league resumes in June as expected; there will be another suspension/interruption before all rounds of fixtures are concluded.
