Premier League Transfer Window: Sneijder In, Nasri Out

Premier League Transfer Window: Sneijder In, Nasri Out
William Hill took a £1000 bet late last night on Wesley Sneijder joining Manchester United and Hills have slashed his odds from 6/4 to 5/6 to join Sir Alex Ferguson’s side. He is now 5/6 to not join Manchester United.

“It is no secret that Sir Alex wants to find a replacement for Paul Scholes and has identified Sneijder as the man to fill the gap,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Our punters seem to be of the same opinion.”

Arsene Wenger has secured the services of Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain and William Hill have cut the odds of Samir Nasri leaving the club from 6/4 to 1/2. Wenger has also claimed that his summer spending is not over and Hills offer 5/2 that he brings in two more players and 3/1 that he brings in three more.

How many more signings will Arsene Wenger bring in before the end of the summer transfer window: 4/1 none; 5/2 one; 5/2 two; 3/1 three; 6/1 four; 8/1 five or more

Samir Nasri to leave Arsenal before the end of the transfer window: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Wesley Sneijder to join Manchester United by the end of the summer transfer window: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Charles N’zogbia: You Bet A Good Bit Of Business By Villa

Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Charles N’Zogbia from Wigan and William Hill think he will have a better season than the player he was brought in to replace, Stewart Downing. Hills go 8/11 that N’Zogbia starts more Premier League games than Downing, while Downing is 11/8 to start more than the Frenchman.

Hills also go 4/7 about N’Zogbia scoring more goals than Downing, who is 8/5.

“If reports are to be believed, Villa have made a profit of around £10 million by selling Downing and bringing in N’Zogbia and it appears that the new Clarets wide man may well be utilised more this season than the man that he has replaced,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering a number of next club specials on some of the higher profile players being talked about in this summer’s transfer window. Real Madrid are the 4/6 favourites to be the next club to capture Neymar’s signature, while Arsenal are 1/3 to be Juan Mata’s next club. There has been plenty of speculation recently about Carlos Tevez and Hills offer 13/8 that Internazionale are his next club, while Juventus are 7/2.

Manchester United 5/4 To Sign Player Before Charity Shield…6/4 It Will Be Sneijder!

Despite the need for a world class midfielder to replace Paul Scholes, William Hill are 4/7 that Sir Alex Ferguson does NOT sign another player prior to the Charity Shield and 5/4 that he does. Hills are 6/4 that the next player Sir Alex signs is Wesley Sneijder, 7/4 that it is Luka Modric, 11/2 Sami Nasri and 7/2 Jack Rodwell. ManUtd are the 7/4 favourites to win the Premiership and to do so they will need their strikers firing on all cylinders – Hills make Hernandez their 6/4 favourite to be the club’s top Premiership scorer with Rooney 13/8 and Berbatov 7/1.

“Even with an obvious gap in their midfield, Manchester United are the favourites to win back to back Premiership titles and should they land Sneijder they could get even shorter,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Will Manchester United Sign Another Player Before The Charity Shield?: 4/7 No, 5/4 Yes

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

Arsenal Finishing Position: 5/2 First or second; 4/1 Third; 11/4 Fourth; 11/8 Fifth to tenth; 16/1 11th to 17th; 500/1 Relegated

Premier League: Brotherly Love Or Sibling Rivalry?

John Arne Riise joined Fulham early on Wednesday and joined his brother, Bjorn Helge. The Riises became the fourth set of brothers playing together in the Premier League and Hills make them 7/2 to start the most games between them. The Toure brothers lead the market at 5/6 while the da Silva brothers are 2/1. The Ameobis are the 12/1 outsiders.

“With four sets of siblings strutting their stuff in the Premier League, it looks like the Toures will rule the roost much like the Klitschkos while the Ameobis may as well be renamed the Chuckle brothers,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The first manager to go market has been particularly volatile during this close season with gambles seeing Neil Warnock and Sir Alex Ferguson’s odds slashed from 16/1 and 40/1 respectively to 11/4 and 12/1.

“We have so far seen two heavy gambles on both Warnock and Sir Alex to be the first to leave their jobs and now the dust has settled, the QPR boss is the favourite to go and appears to be under pressure even though no ball has been kicked in anger this season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Samir Nasri started Arsenal’s first pre-season match of the season on the bench and William Hill offer 4/6 that he has left the club by the first game of the 2011/12 season. He is 11/10 to stay at the Emirates. Should Samir Nasri leave, it looks as though Manchester City will be his likely destination, offered at 8/13, while Manchester United are 6/5. His team mate, Cesc Fabregas is 2/5 to have left the club by the end of the Summer transfer window.

Premier League Brothers:

Most Combined Starts: 5/6 Toures; 2/1 Da Silvas; 5/2 Riise; 8/1 Ameobis

Most Combined Cards: 6/4 Toures; 13/8 Da Silvas; 5/2 Riise; 8/1 Ameobis

First Premier League Manager to leave: 11/4 Neil Warnock; 7/2 Steve Kean; 9/1 Mick McCarthy; 10/1 Steve Bruce; 10/1 Harry Redknapp; 12/1 Owen Coyle; 12/1 Roberto Martinez; 12/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; 16/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Alan Pardew; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 20/1 Alex McLeish; 33/1 Paul Lambert; 33/1 Arsene Wenger; 33/1 Martin Jol; 40/1 Roy Hodgson; 66/1 Andre Villas Boas; 66/1 Kenny Dalglish; 66/1 Tony Pulis; 100/1 No Manager to leave

Samir Nasri To Be Gone By First Game Of Next Season: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

Cesc Fabregas to be gone by the end of the Transfer Window: 2/5 yes; 7/4 no

Welcome To Manchester Samir Nasri

Manchester City appear to have leapfrogged their local rivals in the hunt for Samir Nasri, ,with William Hill offering 4/7 that City is the Frenchman’s next permanent club. United are 11/8 while any other club is offered at 8/1.

“Having appeared to be Old Trafford bound, City appear to have usurped United for the signature of Nasri,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Nasri And Wenger Could Face Spell On The Touchlines: But You Bet A Fine Will Suffice

Arsene Wenger and Samir Nasri have been charged by UEFA following their comments made after the Barcelona game on Tuesday. William Hill are offering 6/4 that Nasri is on the receiving end of a fine but no ban and Wenger is 5/4 to receive the same punishment. Hills are offering 2/1 that Samir Nasri gets a two match ban, while Wenger is 7/4 to be sent to the stands for Arsenal’s next two European fixtures.

“Wenger and Nasri could potentially face a spell on the sidelines, however, the odds suggest that a fine will suffice for the UEFA bigwigs,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wenger and Nasri Ban Prices:

Nasri: 4/1 No Action; 6/4 Fine, no ban; 10/3 1 match ban; 2/1 2 match ban; 9/1 3 or more match ban
