  1. 21 man squad from 25 is pretty significant mind if that part is true. Means 4 expensive players are more than likely going to not be registered and potentially move elsewhere.

     

    Probably just pay them more to hang around.

     

    According to BBC "A wage cap could also be introduced on the errant clubs to ensure there is no rise on this season's squad wage bill for the Champions League."

  2. I actually think that these penalties are very good, although I expect appeals and for them to be reduced.

     

    The squad restrictions will mean the big players wont be happy missing out on CL especially in the year after the WC where they typically could get a big transfer away.

     

    The fines should mean that the clubs have to generate £50m more this year to reach the same P/L that they were fined for this year. In theory that means they will have to increase their revenue by £75-100m in a very short space of time or get hit with a more severe penalty

  3. Betfair effectively have Costa as a 13/8 anytime scorer tonight (ie. match bet with Eto'o who hasn't travelled to Spain).

     

    Match bets only count if both players start. Normally, anyway.

     

    Bah. Thanks for the info.

     

    You can get the same odds in betfairs 'To Score' market

     

    23/20 isn't it? Unless I'm missing something.

     

    Was 2.66 on the exchange earlier
