So Juve has signed Peluso for just over 4m and even that is in installments! There is absolutely no way that they can come up with the cash for Higuain and Jovetic.

Higuain will go to Arsenal.

Fingers crossed that happens. Looks like Juve are all talk and no money.

Last year they wanted Suarez and ended up with Bendtner, says it all really.

I'm thinking of doing a transfer-predictor game to keep it interesting and see who can predict which biggest players will leave and where they will go!

Each correct decision will be awarded 5pts, but to keep it fair and to reward risk we will calculate the points by multiplying those 5pts by the odds given by SkyBet and then round it up to the nearest point!

I've started with ten players who are in demand this summer.

Let's see if I've understood how to go about it.

Cavani City
Isco City
Bale Spurs
Suarez Madrid
Higuain Arsenal
Jovetic Juventus
Lewandowski Dortmund
Wanyama S'oton
Reina Liverpool
Thiago Barcelona

That's all there is to it. Cheers.

By the way, to clarify you don't have to pick the teams they are linked with in the rumour column.

Odds at time of prediction will be used, not odds at time of transfer.

Therefore, if you want the upper-hand you should get those predictions in ASAP.

Your points potential for the players who are leaving are:

Cavani- 15pts
Isco- 1pt
Suarez- 2pts
Higuain- 3pts
Jovetic- 8pts
Wanyama- 26pts

Aren't there any odds on them staying put?

Just as an idea Henrik, why don't you put the game on a separate thread linking it to this one?

By the end of the summer I imagine you might have a lot of trouble with the number of characters allowed in the main body of the article. Opening a new thread might help mitigate that, it would probably get more people involved in the game and could also attract a few more people to this thread.

Btw, just read that Bild reckon Bayern might be interested in Isco too and that PSG are entering the race for Bale (although that might be old news in the UK).

There were no odds on them staying put- so I just decided a flat three points was in order for each player that stays at the same club.

I could link it to another thread. Will start one up later. Saving all predictions in a word document, but telling each player there potential points now because it involves odds.

Furthermore, Wanyama to Southampton was unavailable so I matched it with the largest odds given which was for Newcastle. This will be standard for all cases in which the club in question is not listed.

Right mate. It might be a lot of work. You any good at spreadsheets? If you are, it might take you time to set one up, but I imagine it might save much more on doing the maths.

I'll be fine.

With a separate article I can post the odds up anyway, so I'm not constantly trying to hunt them down.

The new rumours bit is great, add Mkhitaryan to Liverpool for 23million.

RAP, can you confirm your odds are with SkyBet?

If so that's fine, Wanyama is 25/1.
