Punters And Villas-boas Back Torres To Stay
William Hill punters seem to agree with Andre Villas-Boas claims that Fernando Torres will be staying put for the time being, with considerable bets having been staked on him still being at Chelsea on the 1st February. Initially offered at 4/11, the weight of money coupled with Villas-Boas strong stance on Torres future, has seen this price slashed to 1/5. The majority of the money has come from Northern Ireland and Oxfordshire.
Torres has endured a difficult first year at Chelsea but it appears that punters support matches that of his manager and it seems he will be given time to turn things around, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Malaga are 7/1 to be the club that Torres lines up for after the transfer window closes on and Manchester United are 9/1.
Where will Fernando Torres be on the 1st February 2012: 1/5 Chelsea; 7/1 Malaga; 9/1 Manchester United; 10/1 Atletico Madrid; 11/1 AC Milan; 14/1 PSG; 14/1 Inter Milan; 14/1 Manchester City; 16/1 Barcelona; 16/1 Liverpool; 16/1 Juventus; 20/1 Real Madrid; 25/1 Arsenal
