Lukaku And Falcao In But Cole On His Way? Latest Chelsea Moves

William Hill make Romelu Lukaku 4/6 to be at Stamford Bridge next season while Falcao has been cut from 7/4 to 5/4 to join Chelsea from Porto. But for all of the talk of Andre Villas-Boas bringing in players, Ashley Cole has started to make noises of moving to Spain with Real Madrid or Barcelona his preferred choices. Hills offer 4/1 that he moves to Real Madrid during the Summer transfer window and 6/1 that he joins Barcelona in the same time period. He is 7/2 to move to any Spanish side (1/6 not to).

Despite the new manager and the dearth of players set to come in, Hills offer 8/11 that Chelsea win no trophies this season. They are 5/4 to win one trophy and 13/2 to win two. They are 400/1 to win all four competitions they will be competing in. Chelsea are 9/4 to win the Premier League, 11/2 to win the FA Cup, 13/2 to win the League Cup and 8/1 to win the Champions League.

“Villas-Boas has been brought in to win trophies for theside and while he wants to bring new faces in, he will have to be careful of letting too many players go as well,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Champions League: Punters Go Barking Mad For Barcelona: Bookies Facing Worst Football Result In Betting History

Bookmakers William Hill have been blown away with the interest in the Champions League final with Barcelona proving the most popular team in the competitions history. William Hill now predict that they alone will take £5 million wagers on the match, which suggests a £25 million industry turnover, beating the 2010 World Cup final. The latest prediction is that a 90 minute victory for the Spanish side will cost Hills £2 million pounds but the doomsday scenario is a 3-1 Barcelona victory inside of 90 minutes with Messi scoring first.

“Should Barcelona win this evening, it is likely to be our second worst ever result behind the infamous Magnificent seven, when bookies lost over £50 million after Frankie Dettori won all seven races at Ascot. We never thought we would ever be cheering on a Man Utd victory but we are massive fans of the reds tonight!” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams

Latest Odds: 1/1 Barcelona, 7/2 Manchester United, 21/10 Draw
