We've gone from 5/2 to 10/11 favourites on skybet today.. Make of that what you will.
I'm not sure they'd be willing to sell or that Saint-Maximin (the player in question) would want to come.Lets buy the shit-hot wonder kid then
All that means is that some drunk idiots saw that "Sidibe Instagram like" story and put money on him to us, bringing the odds down. How many times do we have to go through this here. Bookies don't go on ITK or rumours, only on hard cash.We've gone from 5/2 to 10/11 favourites on skybet today.. Make of that what you will.

For the player he'd probably take one look at what has happened to the last two 20 year-old French wingers we bought on the back of their breakout seasons and say no thanks.
I agree Lemar is a different situation altogether, I was talking about the hypothetical possibility of us buying the less established player who Monaco have penciled in to replace Lemar.It's not really comparable, Lemar is a key player at a CL semi-finalist and a league winner. His CV is much, much better than N'Jie and N'Koudou. No way he'll get the same treatment as them.
Erm.. Hard cash causes fluctuations in the market, hence why prices drift. One of two bets make no difference, multiples bets do. This has been discussed on here not so long ago.
Also, the Sidibe story happened days ago. His price has come down twice (From 3-1, 5-2, now 10/11) since that story broke.
Surely in this instance this fails at the first hurdle as Sky Sports haven't linked us to Lemar once.- Sky Sports runs speculative transfer news suggesting a player is going to a certain club
- Sky Bet offers attractive odds to scoop up interest, linked to directly from story
- Sky Sports tweets odds next to story, as if coincidence & not both produced by same company
- Punters take up bet in volume, pushing odds down
- Sky Sports shift focus of player move to different club, seeing previous odds drift
- Repeat
Surely in this instance this fails at the first hurdle as Sky Sports haven't linked us to Lemar once.

In an article about Lacazette by Jason Burt:
Monaco expect to keep Mbappe for at least one more season – if they can get him to agree a new contract – and will resist all offers for another player Arsenal are interested in, midfielder Thomas Lemar, because they will not let both him and Tiemoue Bakayoko go in the same summer. They are close to agreeing a deal to sell Bakayoko to Chelsea.
