Tevez, Modric, Fabregas And Nasri: Stay Or Go?

William Hill are offering a market on whether the all four of the Premier League’s high profile want away players leave their clubs by the end of the Summer transfer window. Hills go 9/2 about all four of Tevez, Nasri, Fabregas and Modric having left their clubs by the 31st August 2011 .

Hills are also offering 6/4 that Cesc Fabregas is the first of the four to go, while Carlos Tevez is 13/8 to do so. It would appear that Arsenal have more hope of keeping Nasri than Fabregas and he is offered at 10/3 to be the first of the four to go, while Modric is 6/1.

“With no lack of interest in the four players, it could well be that all four have moved on by the end of August,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Who will go first: 6/4 Fabregas; 13/8 Tevez; 10/3 Nasri; 6/1 Modric

All four to have changed clubs by the end of the transfer window (August 31st 2011): 9/2 yes; 1/8 no

Tevez Next Permanent Club: 5/2 Inter Milan; 7/2 Real Madrid; 7/2 Juventus; 9/2 English Club; 11/2 South American Club; 12/1 AC Milan; 16/1 Malaga; 20/1 MLS Club; 33/1 Barcelona

Samir Nasri Next Permanent Club: 8/13 Manchester City; 6/5 Manchester United; 8/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Real Madrid; 33/1 AC Milan

Luka Modric Next Permanent Club: 8/13 Chelsea; 5/2 Manchester United; 10/1 Manchester City; 20/1 Real Madrid; 20/1 Barcelona

You Bet Tevez U-turn…fab Number Of Starts

Corinthians have pulled out of a deal to sign Carlos Tevez at the last minute and William Hill now make him 2/1 to join ANY English club after he leaves Manchester City. He is 5/2 to join any South American side and 4/1 to join Real Madrid. Juventus are 6/1 and Inter Milan 7/1.

“In a real U-Turn, it now appears more likely that Tevez will stay in England than go anywhere else when he inevitably leaves City although in terms of specific clubs, it appears that Real Madrid lead the race for the want away striker,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Carlos Tevez Next Club: 2/1 English; 5/2 South American Club; 4/1 Real Madrid; 6/1 Juventus; 7/1 Inter Milan; 20/1 AC Milan; 20/1 Malaga; 25/1 MLS Club; 25/1 Barcelona

FABREGAS GAMES STARTING AT BARCA

With Barcelona and Arsenal undertaking a tentative dialogue over the future of Cesc Fabregas, William Hill are offering odds on how many games he will start for the Catalan giants. He is 5/2 to start between 16 to 20 games, 9/2 to start under 11 games and 13/2 over 30.

“Despite the dearth of quality midfielders available to Barcelona, it looks as though the Spanish Champions may well be able to find a way to shoehorn him into their starting line-up,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Number of Fabregas starts for Barcelona in La Liga in the 2011-12 Season*:
9/2 Under 11
3/1 11-15
5/2 16-20
10/3 21-25
5/1 26-30
13/2 Over 30

*Bets void if Fabregas does not join Barcelona during this Summer’s Transfer Window

Dubious Goal-line Decisions: They Think It’s All Over…

The debate about goal-line technology rumbles on and William Hill are offering odds on when the system will be introduced into the Premier League making the 2012/13 season the 11/10 favourite. The following season is offered at 13/8 with the season after that 4/1.

“All football fans have felt the heartache of dubious goal-line decisions and the odds suggest that the system will be introduced sooner rather than later,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

When Will Goal-Line Technology Be Introduced In The Premier League:
11/10 2012/13 Season
13/8 2013/14 Season
4/1 2014/15 Season

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

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

Exhaulted Kompany: Vincent Hot Favourite For City Armband

With the future of Carlos Tevez still to be decided, Hills are now betting on who will replace the striker as Captain of Manchester City on the first day of the upcoming season. Hills make Vincent Kompany the 1/4 red-hot favourite, while Yaya Toure is 7/2 second favourite. Garethe Barry is 9/2, Joe Hart 8/1, Lescott 10/1, David Silva 20/1 and Emmanuel Adebayor 100/1.

“Kompany has shown his leadership qualities, deputising in the absence of Tevez and Toure last season and it looks as though he will be the go-to man when City walk out at the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsene Wenger has given Barcelona a two week window to make their move to sign Cesc Fabregas and William Hill have slightly cut the odds of him staying at the Emirates, at least during this transfer window, from 7/4 to 6/4.

William Hill Odds:

Manchester City Captain On The First Day Of The Season*: 1/4 Vincent Kompany; 7/2 Yaya Toure; 9/2 Gareth Barry; 8/1 Joe Hart; 10/1 Joleon Lescott; 20/1 David Silva; 100/1 Emmanuel Adebayor
* Not club captain but wearing the armband on the opening game of the 2011/12 season

Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal at the end of the Summer Transfer Window: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no

Wenger To Go To War With City Over Nasri

News reports suggest that Roberto Mancini has hardly endeared himself to his opposite number at Arsenal over a perceived lack of respect relating to Samir Nasri. Hill’s feel that Mr. Wenger’s suspicions may have weight to them, offering 8/13 that Nasri’s next club is Manchester City, while they go 6/5 about him moving to the red side of Manchester.

“The continuing saga surrounding Nasri’s future has turned ugly with the odds suggesting that he may well be turning out in the blue of City before too long,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are also offering betting on where the two clubs finish following Arsenal being pipped into fourth by City. The odds indicate that City will finish higher than the Gunners once again with Mancini’s men odds on at 8/13 to finish in the top two and 1/2 to finish above Arsenal.

William Hill Mancini vs Wenger Odds:

Samir Nasri Next Club: 8/13 Manchester City; 6/5 Manchester United; 8/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Real Madrid; 33/1 AC Milan

Cesc Fabregas Next Club: 1/4 Barcelona; 7/2 Real Madrid; 8/1 Manchester City

Downing Or Young – Who’ Ll Make More Impact ?

DOWNING OR YOUNG – WHO’LL MAKE MOST IMPACT AT NEW CLUB?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book asking whether Stewart Downing or Ashley Young will score the most Premier League goals and make the most Premier League starts next season for their new clubs. Hills make Young odds on to score more goals for Man U than Downing does for Liverpool, but Downing is odds-on to make more starts for Liverpool than Young will make for United. ‘These are two high profile players who will be under pressure to perform to an elevated level to justify their transfer fees’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS ARE BETTING ON WHICH OF THE TWO WILL LEAVE HIS NEW CLUB FIRST – AND MAKE DOWNING 8/11 TO GO BEFORE YOUNG, WHO IS EVEN MONEY TO DO VICE VERSA.
And with Liverpool steadily bringing more English players into their squad, Hills have opened a book on how many members of their first Premier League game starting line-up v Sunderland will be Englishmen – making 4-5 their 6/5 favourite.

Premier League goals match bet:

Stewart Downing 7/4
Tie 5/1
Ashley Young 4/6

Most Premier League starts:

Stewart Downing 10/11
Tie 7/1
Ashley Young 11/10

How Many English Players Will Start For Liverpool vs Sunderland:
3 or less 11/4
4-5 6/5
6-8 7/4
9-11 7/1

Real Madrid are 5/2, Inter Milan 5/1 and any English club 6/1. The odds of Stewart Downing’s next permanent club being Liverpool have also been slashed, from 4/7 to 2/9 while Arsenal have been pushed out from 13/8 to 3/1.

“Liverpool appear to now be fully in the driving seat to get their man, while Corinthians have attempted to steal a march on any other potential Tevez suitors by making the first bid,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Stewart Downing Next Permanent Club: 2/9 Liverpool; 3/1 Arsenal; 6/1 Tottenham; 20/1 Sunderland

Three Lionesses Backed For Win Against France

England’s Women progressed through to the Quarter Final of the World Cup and bookmakers, William Hill, make them 9/5 to defeat France in the next round. Les Bleus are 6/5 slight favourites but despite this, Hope Powell’s recruits have been well backed by punters with over 60% of all bets being staked on them to win. Should the game go beyond the 90 minutes, Hills are offering 12/1 that England win in extra time and 11/1 they win on penalties.

England are relative outsiders to go on and win the competition, offered at 20/1, quite a way behind favourites, Germany, at 5/6 and Brazil at 7/2. The Three Lionesses are 8/13 to be knocked out at the Quarter Final stage and 6/5 to qualify for the Semis.

“England were very much improved against Japan while the French side are coming into the game on the back of a heavy defeat to Germany and our punters are backing them to come good,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England’s Kelly Smith came into the tournament as the Golden Girl of the team, however, she has failed to find the net once during the tournament and has been backed by Hill’s punters NOT to score during the remaining games. Originally offered at 8/11 not to do so, she has been backed into 4/6, but she is 11/10 to get off the mark.

Outright: 5/6 Germany; 7/2 Brazil; 13/2 USA; 14/1 Sweden; 16/1 France; 20/1 Japan; 20/1 England; 50/1 Australia

Stage of Elimination: 8/13 Quarter Final; 5/2 Semi Final; 9/2 Runner Up; 20/1 Winner

England v France (qualification): 6/5 England; 8/13 France

To win in extra time: 12/1 England; 11/1 France

To win on penalties: 11/1 England; 10/1 France
