Transfer betting – Carroll, Adam, Adebayor, Torres and Parker…

Sky Bet

We are already into the second-half of what is turning into a very interesting Premier League season, but the speculation rumbles on and as ever the big name players are being linked with moves away from their respective clubs.

Sky Bet have compiled the very latest transfer odds for some of the hottest properties in the game. Here we bring you the latest transfer odds as well as our expert analysis on the likely outcomes.

Fernando Torres: New Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has found it difficult on his return to his former club, pundits are asking if Fernando Torres is going to stick around or will he be tempted by a big money move away from Liverpool in January or possibly next summer?; Sky Bet are offering odds of 4/1 on the golden boy of Spanish football joining Manchester City. Inter Milan and Real Madrid are the second favourites at 8/1 with Barcelona at 10/1 and Manchester United at 25/1.

Our verdict: We think the Spaniard will hang around until the summer; Barcelona could be a good shout at 10/1.

Andy Carroll: Despite suggestions that Newcastle will not sell the ‘jewell in the Geordie crown’ rumours of a move persist, clearly, Carroll is hot property. Tottenham remain favourites at 6/4. Chelsea second favourites at 7/1. Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal are 8/1, while Man United and Liverpool are 14/1, with West Ham and Aston Villa coming in at 20/1 respectively.

Our verdict: Spurs are the favourites, but don’t rule out a big money offer from Liverpool..

Scott Parker Sky Bet make Spurs 4/5 favourites to capture Parker. Liverpool who are being linked with just about everyone at present, are 10/1, with Everton at 22/1. Further out we have Birmingham at 28/1.

Our verdict: IF you really fancy a punt on Scott Parker, then lump on a move to Spurs, but there’s no real value.

Charlie Adam: Adam had his transfer request to join Liverpool rejected by the Blackpool board, who are angling for a transfer fee way in excess of the reported £4m offer from Kenny Dalglish. Liverpool are red hot favourites to Adam at 1/5. Aston Villa are reportedly sniffing around and you can get 7/2 with Sky Bet. Everton are 10/1 with Birmingham and Wolves at 25/1 respectively.

Our Verdict: Adam to Liverpool looks like a done deal; only the unlikely intervention of a rival silly-money offer will de-rail this move.

Adebayor: He can be very, very good on his day, but it looks like he’s on his way out of Eastlands. Real Madrid are the favourites at 5/6 after their attempts to re-sign Ruud van Nistelrooy failed. Monaco are 13/8 to sign the former Togo international. You can get 8/1 on Liverpool, odds of 10/1 to join Sunderland this January and 12/1 for a move to Inter Milan. If you fancy a long shot, how about Man United at 50/1?

Our verdict: Real Madrid are the obvious favourites and we go along with the bookies, but Inter Milan could be worth a punt.

Other big names in the frame: Sky Bet are also offering odds on the futures of other Premier League stars including; Carlos Tevez, Chris Samba and Michael Owen – so we can expect plenty more transfer activity – new customers also get a ‘mystery bonus’ for signing up.

Odds are accurate as of July 28th 2010 – odds will change over time.
