Carroll Cut For Kop-chop…borini Backed To Rejoin Brendan

Brendan Rodgers wants to stamp his mark on the Liverpool squad and William Hill are now betting on which players will come and which ones will go. With a bid for Fabio Borini confirmed by Roma, the Italian is 2/7 to move to Anfield before the end of the transfer window. Another name who has been widely mooted with a move to Liverpool is that of Clint Dempsey and he is 5/4 to join the Rodgers Revolution. Other potential signings include Gaston Ramirez at 6/4, Matt Jarvis at 9/2, Scott Sinclair at 4/1 with Darren Bent and Mark Davies at 6/1 each.

On the other side of the coin, there could be a couple of players on the move, with Andy Carroll perhaps the highest profile of the lot. William Hill have cut him slightly from 4/1 to 11/4 to go, with AC Milan 6/1 to have signed him by September 1st. Alberto Aquilani has enjoyed two successful years in Italy whilst being on loan from Liverpool and he is 8/15 to leave Liverpool by the close of the transfer window. Joe Cole is 2/1, Martin Skrtl 5/1 and Charlie Adam 11/4.

“Rodgers has claimed that everyone will have the chance to prove themselves but the long ball to Andy Carroll will undoubtedly be banished to the annals of Anfield history and that could mean the man himself may also become redundant,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

LA LIGA: NEW FACES BUT RIVALRIES STILL THE SAME?
With the announcement of the Spanish La Liga fixtures today, Hills make champions Real Madrid the 4/5 favourites to regain the title. They meet Valencia in their opening match but their games against Barcelona in October and March will provoke the most betting interest. William Hill offer 5/1 that Barcelona pick up six points from the two encounters, 6/1 that Real Madrid do so and 7/4 that the two teams pick up three points each.

Messi is 4/5 to score more goals than Ronaldo, while Ronaldo is offered at 10/11 to outscore Messi. Ronaldo to be top goal scorer and Real Madrid to win La Liga is 9/4 with Hills whilst the same bet with Messi and Barcelona is offered at 11/4.

Who will sign for Liverpool by the end of transfer window:
Borini : 2/7 Yes, 5/2 No.
Dempsey: 5/4 Yes, 4/7 No.
Gaston Ramirez: 6/4 Yes, 1/2 No.
Matt Jarvis: 9/2 Yes, 1/8 No.
Darren Bent: 6/1 Yes, 1/12 No.
Mark Davies: 6/1 Yes, 1/12 No.

Who will leave Liverpool by the end of transfer window:
Aquilani: 8/15 yes, 11/8 No.
Cole: 2/1 Yes, 4/11 No.
Carroll: 11/4 Yes, 1/4 No.
Adam: 11/4 Yes, 1/4 No.
Skrtl: 5/1 Yes, 1/9 No.

La Liga 2012: 4/5 Real Madrid, 1/1 Barcelona, 50/1 Malaga, 66/1 Valencia, 80/1 BAR.

Goals Match Bet (La Liga): 4/5 L Messi, 10/11 C Ronaldo.

Barcelona Points Vs Real Madrid (La Liga): 7/4 Three, 7/2 Four, 7/2 One, 5/1 Six, 6/1 None, 11/1 Two.

Real Madrid Points Vs Barcelona (La Liga): 7/4 Three, 3/1 One, 10/3 Four, 5/1 None, 6/1 Six, 11/1 Two.

Punter Predicts Entire Prem Matches For £31.5k

A 74 year old William Hill punter from East Lothian called Tom Brown correctly managed to predict all eight Premier League results on Saturday and bagged himself a quite stunning £31,454.78 from just a £5 stake. Mr Brown, a retired Local Government officer and Hearts fan was waiting for a Bolton win on Saturday evening to complete his astonishing eightfold, an accumulator that looked all but dead as Stoke/WBA looked to be heading for a draw until James Morrison’s 91st minute winner. That last minute goal at the Britannia Stadium meant that Mr Brown had £5,242.46 running onto Bolton at 5/1.

“It was very nerve racking watching the Bolton/Liverpool but now that I have had my biggest ever win, I fully intend to share the winnings with my wife, son, daughter and family,” said Mr Brown.

“Bolton were the biggest outsiders all weekend in the Premier League and they were not expected to win so easily, although Mark Davies’ early will have settled Mr Brown’s nerves I’m sure,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Winning Selections in bold:

ODDS OF 6290/1

21/20 Fulham vs Newcastle
10/11 Sunderland vs Swansea
11/4 Draw Norwich vs Chelsea
5/2 Draw Everton vs Blackburn
5/1 Bolton vs Liverpool
17/10 Wolves vs Aston Villa
11/10 QPR vs Wigan
13/5 Stoke vs West Brom
