Football Musical Chairs Begins

There may not be much on-the-field action going on in football right now but there is plenty going on off it, not least with the opening up of the transfer window. Which means speculation and gossip and rumours galore.

Will this be the year that Cesc Fabregas finally goes back to Barcelona? They made several overtures to him last year but he and Arsenal resisted. Who knows if he could do it again? Think of their live football betting odds if he is playing alongside Xavi, Iniesta and Messi?

Tottenham’s Gareth Bale helped steer his club to the last eight of the Champions League but this year won’t be playing in the tournament unless he leaves. Will that prove enough of a lure and, if so, who could possibly afford him?

Similarly, Harry Redknapp has placed a massive price tag on the head of Luka Modric in an attempt to deter other clubs from tabling unsettling bids. Three years ago, Spurs paid a club record £16.5 million for the Croatian, money which now appears to have been very well spent.

The good Football betting odds appear to be leaning towards Brazilian sensation Neymar heading to Chelsea. Their deep pockets see them associated with nearly every player that comes on the market. The same also goes for Manchester City who are now playing in the Champions League and despite stiff competition for the young Chilean’s signature, City are one of the favourited to land Alexis Sanchez from Udinese. Don’t be surprised if Sanchez is the first of a number of signings they make before the start of the next campaign.

One of the things about the transfer window is that most of the activity tends to happen at the end. So watch this space and pace yourself until then.
