Just replace "pasta" with whatever cultural reference is appropriate?

But that says to me you have to put 66 pounds on to win £1. So if I'm right 30,000 would get them £454.54 I don't see them taking that bet on. 1
sylofox Posted 30 January 2024 Posted 30 January 2024 Just seen him in Morrison's in plymstock. So I think his taxi driver has taken a wrong turn or two.

In other words, the market considers that prospect so unlikely, it would cost almost nothing to hedge their risk. They are moving the goalposts at the 11th hour over an issue that is provably trivial.
TommyK Posted 30 January 2024 Posted 30 January 2024 Why don't we just wait until the summer and get him on a free? Am I missing something?
Tielemans63 Posted 30 January 2024 Posted 30 January 2024 Just got home from work. God knows why I expected this to be done today.

Either way at 1/66 they only win £454. The odds would have to be 66/1

Here’s what I reckon is happening… we’ve probably backed ourselves into a corner with another deal and now we’ve got some bullshit going on trying to get both deals done concurrently. So one can be a loan and one can be a perm. This is flicking back and forth because we’re trying to deal with both clubs at the same time and I assume we can’t take two more loans at once. One club is looking more favourable on the perm versus the other at any one given time but the details are being leaked to the media on the Sensi deal only. That must be what’s going on else we’d just do the deal with Milan for Sensi in a quick and simple way.
Mike Oxlong Posted 30 January 2024 Posted 30 January 2024 I wish the transfer window lasted for 1 hour Would save an awful lot of fvckin around

So either way they'd get their money. 1

No chance we get two in on the same day, just not happening. We've been working on this Sensi deal for the whole of January 🤦♂️

urban.spaceman Posted 30 January 2024 Posted 30 January 2024 Well I for one think we've handled this really, really well.
