Liverpool shock new favourites for Ribery
Liverpool have emerged as shock contenders for Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery.
The odds on Ribery leaving Bayern Munich for Liverpool tumbled yesterday, plummeting from 66-1 to 8-13 on.
Bookmakers Skybet last week slashed their odds ahead of Michael Owen's shock move to Manchester United and are taking no chances this time around, even though the money is only coming from a small group of punters.
Skybet's Dale Tempest told sports betting website oddspreview.comother club but the Reds!
"After seeing money for him to join Man United and Real Madrid at the same time that Bayern Munich say he’s going nowhere, we’ve now seen a flood of bets on him to join Liverpool.
"8/13 may seem a very short price but after the losses we made last week on Michael Owen, who was gambled down from 20/1 to move to Manchester United, we are taking no chances."

Rafa Benitez has money to buy Franck Ribery. Just that no one knows. Look at the Glen Johnson which Rafa has signed, Liverpool will be contenders for EPL and champions league next season
wtf..we dun even know if benitez really said barry was purely after money, and yet ppl can accuse him of being hypocrite..even if he did say tat,it was targeting at barry being money-STARVING,he just trying to say right price for the right player?!?!
perhaps Liverpool dont need to sell, after the owners or atleast one of em(gillet?) sold one or two of his teams in the U.S both might be generous to give Benitez the funds to buy Ribery and hope to get a better "friendship" whit the fans, just hope it will happen...!
