Looks like another couple of quid has gone on the American option. The SkyBet odds are now 8/11 any MLS club, 11/10 Cardiff.
For those who believe Bale signing for City is a formality, you now have a chance to double your money.
Paddy Power and Betfair make the any MLS club option an 8/15 chance. I doubt it means much, though.
Something I find a little strange, it's apparently a straight shoot out between us and a team in the MLS (DC United being the name consistently raised), however there is absolutely nothing in the American press even mentioning it as a possibility. There was talk about it a month or so ago, but then silence.
I had a look on a a DC United forum and nothing. In fact they appear to have signed a Chillean international attacker from someone in Turkey over past few days.
Of course it could be they dont want to bring attention to it; or its not DC United. It just strikes me as strange, he'd presumably be second behind Beckham in terms of a celebrity export going out there. I would just expect a whole lot of noise.
I was under the impression a number of opportunities in this country have already been put to bed some time ago. It doesn't mean that something else hasn't come about of course, in this country or elsewhere. Maybe that explains the delay. I've tried a few places but it does sound like a decision has yet to been made, at least that's the official line.
I still find it weird that there is considerable noise over here about the MLS and there's no talk of it over there.
I put a tenner on Newcastle at 16 - 1 earlier - just saying - not in the know - just a gut feeling
Skybet latest.
Another £20 bet on the MLS.?
MLS now slight favs.
MLS 4/5
City Evens.
What is the logic of the MLS? Let’s be optimistic & say he starts playing by the end of July, most MLS sides will have 6 games left and their regular season finishes on October 9th. Doesn’t that defeat the objective of what he’s trying to do?
