Argie Bargie At City: You Bet One Argentine Out And One In

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

With Carlos Tevez seemingly on his way out of Manchester City, William Hill have opened a market on who will come in to replace him, making Sergio Aguero their 1/2 favourite. Second favourite is Napoli playmaker Marek Hamsik at 5/1 with Samuela Eto’o, Giuseppe Rossi and Karim Benzema all offered at 6/1. Wayne Rooney is a 100/1 outsider.

“Tevez was in such sparkling form last season that he will be very hard to replace, but money is not an option for Manchester City and we fully expect them to splash the cash in order to find the best possible replacement,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Tevez’s goals were vital into propelling Manchester City into third place in the Premier League last season and Hills offer 4/7 that no player scores more than the 20 that he racked up last season. Of the players still at City, Hills make Balotelli 15/8 favourite to be the club’s leading scorer next season, although 7/4 is on offer for any player not currently there (or not a striker) to lead the scoring charts.

William Hill Manchester City Odds:

Who Will Be Manchester City’s Next Signing*: 1/2 Sergio Aguero; 5/1 Marek Hamsik; 6/1 Samuel Eto’o; 6/1 Giuseppe Rossi; 6/1 Karim Benzema; 9/1 Didier Drogba; 9/1 Pato; 10/1 Neymar; 10/1 Hulk; 12/1 Romelu Lukaku; 16/1 Falcao; 16/1 David Villa; 100/1 Wayne Rooney
*Only these players count

Manchester City Top Goalscorer: 15/8 Mario Balotelli; 9/4 Edin Dzeko; 12/1 Emmanuel Adebayor; 16/1 Jo; 20/1 Roque Santa Cruz; 7/4 Any Other

Will any player score more than Tevez’s 20 Premier League goals from last season: 5/4 yes; 4/7 no

Manchester City Finishing Position: 8/13 1st – 2nd; 11/4 3rd; 4/1 4th; 4/1 5th – 10th; 33/1 11th – 17th; 1000/1 Relegated

Wenger’s Fab Tip

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Arsene Wenger has come out and said that he is optimistic his two courted players, Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas will be staying at the Emirates next season. William Hill agree with Mr. Wenger with regards to Nasri, offering 8/11 that he is still at the club come the first game of next season, although Fabregas is 4/9 to have left for pastures new by then. Barcelona are the 1/4 favourites to capture Fab’s signature when he does leave, while Manchester City are 8/11 favourites to bag Samir Nasri.

“Wenger has, rather defiantly, come out and claimed that his two most prized assets are staying put and while we agree that Nasri looks likely to be staying for at least another season, the lure of Barcelona may be too much for Fabregas and Arsenal to resist for another season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Scott Parker has been backed from 20/1 to 6/1 to join Chelsea with Hills who make Villa 13/8 favourites to be his next club.”Parker returning to Chelsea would be a big story, but we are not convinced it is anything like a done deal.”

WHERE WILL TEVEZ GO NEXT?

WITH CARLOS TEVEZ said to be leaving Manchester City, William Hill have opened a book on where he will go next, and make a South American club 9/4 favourite to be his next port of call. ‘It is difficult to see Tevez earning the same kind of money in South America and it is odd how many times homesickness can apparently be cured by regular doses of cash, so we don’t think he is odds-on to return to his homeland.’ Said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Tevez Backed To Stay At Eastlands As City Odds On To Bag Third

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Following his brace against Stoke City, Carlos Tevez has been backed in to 5/6 to still be at Manchester City on the first day of next season. On the day before the FA Cup final, he was 2/5 to move over the summer although his public pledge to stay at Eastlands has seen a marked gamble at William Hill on City’s skipper staying. Carlos Tevez is 5/6 to be this season’s Premier League top scorer, while Dimitar Berbatov is the same price. City are 4/9 to beat Arsenal to 3rd in the table with the Gunners 13/8 to get the final automatic Champion’s League spot.

“Despite suffering a two month goal drought this season AND being out injured for six weeks, Tevez goes into the last day of the season with every chance of winning the golden boot and in firing City into third has more than proved his worth to the club,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League Odds:
Top Scorer: 5/6 Berbatov; 5/6 Tevez

Finish Third: 4/9 Manchester City; 13/8 Arsenal

Carlos Tevez to be at Manchester City on the first day of next season: 5/6 Yes; 5/6 No

Championship Latest
Having lead Cardiff into yet another playoff defeat, Dave Jones is priced at 1/2 to not be Cardiff manager come the first game of next season. Another Championship side with managerial woes are West Ham for whom Chris Hughton is 11/10 favourite. Sam Allardyce is the 9/2 second favourite with Martin O’Neill 5/1.

Swansea are slight favourites to win the Championship playoff at 11/8, while Reading are 13/8 to win in 90 minutes. Swansea are 8/11 to win promotion while Reading are Even money to do so.

Stoke 5/4 For Euro Exit At The First…tevez 8/13 To Leave Before Next Season

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Manchester City are 2/5 with William Hill to win this year’s FA Cup and are 5/6 to win during 90 minutes. Whatever the result, however, Stoke have qualified for the Europa League, however, victory in the tournament does not appear likely, with the Potters offered at 80/1. A more likely outcome is an exit in the qualifying stages, offered at 5/4. Stoke’s manager Tony Pulis is 4/1 to be named LMA manager of the year. Manchester City, on the other hand, have qualified for the Champions League and Hills are betting on who Mancini will reinforce his squad with first in the summer, making Gary Cahill the 6/1 favourite, followed by Leighton Baines at 8/1. Carlos Tevez had a set-to with Mancini during the Tottenham game and Hills now make him odds on, at 8/13 to have left City by the first game of next season.

“With both sides competing for their first major trophy since the seventies, City appear to have the upper hand,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “But it could be argued that with European football secured for next season, the hard work begins in earnest after the FA Cup Final.”

The FA Cup semi-finals kick off on Saturday as Man City play Man Utd and William Hill make the red side of the city 11/10 favourites to get through to the final.

Hills favourites to reach the final are Manchester United and Bolton, offered at 17/10, while a Stoke/Manchester City final is the outsider at 7/2.
