Carroll 8/13 To Leave Liverpool And 8/11 To Rejoin Newcastle

Andy Carroll is now 8/13 to leave Liverpool this summer and Newcastle have moved firmly to the top of the pile to be his next club. William Hill have made the Magpies odds-on to sign their former player at 8/11. Sam Allardyce has made no secret of his desire to sign Carroll and he is 7/2 to lure him to West Ham. Other teams in the running include Aston Villa and Fulham at 9/1 and AC Milan at 12/1.

“Newcastle appear ready to break their transfer record to get the man that they sold just 18 months ago and it is starting to look more and more likely that Andy Carroll is on his way,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Dimitar Berbatov has stated his assertion that he needs to be playing first team football and may have to move to get it. Malaga are the 7/4 favourites to sign him, although West Ham, are offered at 9/4 after they reportedly made an offer for the striker. Galatasaray have reportedly shown some interest in signing him, while AC Milan may look to replace Ibrahimovic with the mercurial United player. They are 5/1 and 8/1 respectively.

The UEFA Player of the Year shortlist was announced yesterday with a surprising nomination. Leslie Davies, the Bangor City forward. He is 1000/1 for the award but the main runners come from Spain. Lionel Messi is 6/5 for the award with his Barcelona team mate Andres Iniesta is 9/4.

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is 8/1 despite firing Real Madrid to La Liga glory. Xavi is 12/1 after winning the Euro’s with Spain and Euro 2012 finalist and Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo is 14/1.

Berbatov next club: 7/4 Malaga; 9/4 West Ham; 5/1 Galatasaray; 8/1 AC Milan; 10/1 QPR; 12/1 Bayer Leverkusen; 12/1 PSG; 12/1 Tottenham; 14/1 Inter Milan; 16/1 Borussia Dortmund; 25/1 Anzhi Makhachkala; 25/1 Chelsea; 33/1 Liverpool; 33/1 Newcastle; 40/1 Manchester City

Andy Carroll next club: 8/11 Newcastle; 7/2 West Ham; 9/1 Aston Villa; 9/1 Fulham; 12/1 AC Milan; 16/1 Malaga; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 PSG; 20/1 Tottenham; 25/1 BAR

Andy Carroll to still be at Liverpool on the first day of 2012/13 season: 8/13 no; 6/5 yes

UEFA Player of The Year: 6/5 L Messi, 9/4 A Iniesta, 8/1 C Ronaldo, 12/1 Xavi, 14/1 A Pirlo, 1000/1 L Davies

Champs League Specials…becks To Paris…cahill Chelsea Bound

Chelsea and Arsenal’s leaky defences will be put to the test when they face Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund respectively. Chelsea are 7/5 slight favourites to concede more goals than Arsenal, whose porous defence is 13/8 to ship more than the Blues. Hills make Valencia, who take on Genk, 11/4 favourites to be the highest scoring team during Wednesday’s Champions League matches,

David Beckham is now almost out of contract at Los Angeles and William Hill make PSG his most likely destination at 10/11. Beckham has not ruled out staying at Los Angeles and Hills offer 4/1 that he stays at the Galaxy. Despite seemingly ruling out a move back to the Premier League, Tottenham are the 7/1 third favourites to bag Becks while Arsenal are 8/1.

“Becks looks like he could take in another of the world’s great cities and the Posh brood will certainly fit in amongst the chic boutiques of Paris,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andre Villas Boas has reportedly set his sights on Gary Cahill to bolster the increasingly wobbly looking Chelsea back line although despite this, William Hill are offering 5/6 that Cahill is still at Bolton come the closing of the January transfer window. He is 7/2 to be playing for Chelsea and 6/1 Arsenal.

“Chelsea definitely need strengthening in defence although whether Bolton will let go of their prize asset in the midst of a relegation battle is another matter,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Highest Scoring Match: 10/3 Valencia/Genk; 11/2 AC Milan/Barcelona; 11/2 Zenit/APOEL; 11/2 Arsenal/Borussia Dortmund; 7/1 Shakhtar/Porto; 7/1 Marseille/Olympiacos; 8/1 Bayer Leverkusen/Chelsea; 10/1 BATE Borisov/Plzen

You Bet City Could Be Blue And Pool Could Be Red Faced

Manchester City and Liverpool have left themselves with a lot to do in the second leg of their last 16 ties in the Europa League and William Hill are offering 5/1 that both sides progress into the quarter finals.

“5/1 reflects the hole that both Manchester City and Liverpool find themselves in after indifferent first leg performances,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We would be very surprised if at least one of the sides did not progress.”

Braga performed well in their home leg, but having lost 6-0 to Arsenal, Liverpool are 16/1 to emulate that feat and score six or more goals. New signing, Andy Carroll is yet to get off the mark, but Hills are offering 8/13 that he scores anytime during their match against Braga, while he is 2/1 to score with his head.

Manchester City are 2/1 to qualify against Dynamo Kiev and 4/9 to win in 90 minutes. With the Manchester City owners seemingly demanding silverware this season, Hills are offering 20/1 that they win the Europa League and the FA Cup. Should they fail, the chances of Mancini staying in charge seem slim and he is 13/8 to have left his position by the first game of next season.

Manchester City/D. Kiev:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Man City; 7/1 Dynamo Kiev; 3/1 Draw

To Qualify: 4/11 Dynamo Kiev; 2/1 Manchester City

Kenny Will Be Hoping For Sterling Effort From Even Money Reds

Raheem Sterling could become the youngest ever Liverpool player and William Hill are offering 6/4 that he makes it onto the pitch in Prague and 2/1 to score at any point during the game. The prodigy is 3/1 to start a Premier League game before the end of the season and 9/1 to make it into the England squad for 2012.

“Sterling has shown his quality already this season for the Liverpool youth team, however, the odds suggest that the step up to first team football may just be a bridge too far at this moment in time,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills make Liverpool the Even money favourites to grab a win in Prague, while Sparta are 3/1. The draw is offered at 9/4.

Despite drawing on Tuesday in Greece, Manchester City are 4/6 to progress furthest of the three British teams left in the tournament, with Liverpool 6/4 and Rangers 7/1. Hills are also offering 14/1 that Liverpool face Manchester City in the Europa League Final this season. Manchester City are 4/1 favourites to win the Europa League with Liverpool the 6/1 second favourites and Rangers 66/1. An all Engand Final is a 14/1 shot.

Manchester City Favourites For Europa League Glory But Rangers Face Difficult Portuguese Test

The Europe League has thrown up three very interesting ties involving British sides. Arguably, the most exciting tie sees Rangers take on Portuguese Giants, Sporting Lisbon. The Scottish side are 5/4 to progress, while Lisbon are the 4/7 favourites to make it through to the next round. Liverpool and Manchester City are both 1/12 to qualify against their opponents, Sparta Prague and Aris Salonika.

Hills make Manchester City the 8/11 favourites to be the British side to progress the furthest in the competition, followed by Liverpool at 6/5 and Rangers 10/1. City are the 4/1 favourites to lift the trophy, while Liverpool are the 6/1 second favourites. Rangers are offered at 66/1.

“Manchester City have spent big in recent seasons and now is the time to repay Sheikh Mansour’s faith with some silverware. The Europa League gives City the perfect platform to announce themselves on the European stage,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With only three representatives left in the competition, Hills are offering 10/1 that two of the sides meet in the final and a double of 66/1 that the Champions League final and the Europa League final are both contested British sides.
