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

Modric Staying But You Bet Downing Won’t

Aston Villa have stated that Stuart Downing is not for sale although William Hill think that he WILL have gone come the first game of next season, offering 4/6. Liverpool are the main contenders for his signature at 1/4 while Arsenal are 6/1. Luka Modric, however, does not now appear to be on the move, with his odds of leaving Spurs drifting to odds against for the first time since Chelsea lodged their interest (to 5/4). He is now 4/7 to remain at White Hart Lane by at least the first game of next season.

“Both the Spurs and Villa chairmen have come out and stated that their star men are not for sale, but the odds certainly suggest that while that may be true in the case of Modric, it is quite another story for Downing,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Sunderland have been the most active side in the transfer market so far and Hills are betting on where the Black Cats will finish. Despite the additions to their squad, they are 11/8 to finish 9th to 12th. They are 66/1 to finish in the top four and 2/1 to finish in the Europa Cup spots (fifth to eighth). Should Sunderland have a patchy start to the season, Steve Bruce could be out of a job and he is 4/1 to have left by the end of the season and 10/1 to be the first manager to leave his job.

With criticism being directed at Arsenal from all angles, William Hill make them 4/7 to finish in the top four, 5/4 not to. “Arsenal may well be odds on to finish in the top four at the moment, but these odds will drift still further if more star Gunners decamp,” added Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Stuart Downing next permanent club: 1/4 Liverpool; 6/1 Arsenal; 10/1 Tottenham; 25/1 Sunderland

Stuart Downing to be gone before the 1st day of next season: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

Luka Modric to be gone before the 1st day of next season: 5/4 yes; 4/7 no

Will Steve Bruce still be at Sunderland by the last game of the season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Sunderland finishing position: 66/1 top four; 2/1 fifth to eight; 11/8 ninth to 12th; 9/4 13-17; 10/1 relegated

Will Arsenal finish in the top four: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

Gerrard Odds On To Start First Liverpool Game

WILL GERRARD BE FIT FOR SEASON?

WITH STEVEN GERRARD a non-runner on Liverpool’s pre-season tour of Asia, William Hill have opened a book on whether the Reds’ skipper will start their first Premier League game of the season – and offer 2/5 that he WILL, 7/4 that he will NOT. ‘Gerrard is still a key player for Liverpool and it would be a real setback for them if he was not fit enough to start their campaign’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Liverpool play Sunderland at Anfield in their opening game and are 7/20 to win it with Hills who make the visitors 6/1 and the draw 16/5.

Clichy Over The Moon Or Sick As A Parrot ?

WILLIAM HILL make Gael Clichy a 7/4 chance to start 30 or more Premier League games for Man City next season, assuming the transfer from Arsenal goes through before the season starts. ‘It may be a Clichy cliché but we think it could be a case of ‘sick as a parrot’ with 23 or fewer starts, rather than ‘over the moon’ with 30 or more’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

6/1 Mc Leish Gone By End Of Year Etc

6/1 McLEISH OUT BEFORE END OF YEAR?

AFTER HIS controversial appointment as Villa boss, William Hill offer 6/1 that he will leave the position before the end of 2011 but believe he will lead the club to 8th-10th position next season – which they quote at 6/4, and make them 14/1 to finish in the top four and 20/1 to go down.
Hills make Villa 13/8 to win their opening game against 11/8 Fulham with the draw a 21/10 chance. ‘It would seem to be vital for McLeish to get off to a winning start if he is to get Villa fans on his side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL SAY THAT over a quarter of a million pounds has been gambled with them on the five recent managerial markets for Birmingham, Cardiff, Chelsea, Fulham and Villa. ‘We won a five figure sum on McLeish’s appointment and a smaller sum on Malky Mackay should he be confirmed as Cardiff boss, but lost on Martin Jol. These markets have provided us with a terrific turnover in the absence of any Premier League matches, and confirm the tremendous interest in all elements of the top division’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When Will McLEISH Leave Villa?

ENGLAND ODDS-ON TO CZECH OUT OF EURO TOURNAMENT EARLY

ENGLAND are now 4/6 with William Hill to crash out of the U21 tournament at the Group stage following their disappointing draw against Ukraine.

Having drawn for the second time, England are now offered at 9/4 to draw, and 11/10 to win, their final group game against Czech Republic. Daniel Sturridge is the 11/2 favourite to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck, who squandered a glorious chance against the Ukraine, is 13/2.
‘England’s first two games have proved disappointing for fans and punters alike but we need them to get through to boost betting interest in the event, even though they’ll inevitably cost us a few bob if they goon to win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
England are now out to 11/2 to win the tournament, having been as short as 9/2. Spain, having effectively qualified from their group are now 8/11 clear favourites to go on and win the tournament.
