Not enough city fans putting bets on to effect odds.. usually its people ITK who put the serious money down and that does change odds...... but the big question is why odds have changed when nothing in public domain like ssn saying something about him as changed?

You've answered your own question Al, some ITK must have lumped on large and the bookies will be all over this as he's so high profile. I hope they're right and it's certainly looking like a possibility from what we're hearing from a variety of sources. I may put a bet on it will be announced when we reveal the new kit and he's wearing it. I can dream.

Can see their point, but it's mainly sour grapes from La Liga.
But the spending and debt from PSG is ridiculous. Guess that's what happens when you have a state country owned club.
Apparently they've also given Mbappe a say in sporting matters as well as agreeing to sell Neymar and appointing Zidane as manager. No player should have that sort of power..

I get the sentiment but there's more nuance to it than this. These types of signings bring in profit from shirt sales alone, generally. It's all relative.
I do agree though. The money being spent in football at the moment is crazy and is mostly driven by PSG and Man City, who are owned by states. Clubs like Barcelona, Juventus etc are struggling to keep up. This is why they want the Super League, as they can't financially keep up with these clubs otherwise (I'm not in support of a Super League)
