Ancelotti confirms Torres interest

Soccer Betting Lines

05/14/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlo Ancelotti has hinted that Chelsea would be interested in signing Liverpool striker Fernando Torres this summer.

Blues striker Didier Drogba backed any potential move for the $60 million- rated Spain international earlier in the week and now Ancelotti has admitted his interest in the former Atletico Madrid man.

Torres has scored 72 goals during three seasons in the Premier League but reports claim he could be sold this summer amid growing financial problems at Anfield.

"It's not only Drogba," said Ancelotti. "I would like to play with Torres. He's a very good player.

"But this is not an issue for now. He is a Liverpool player and is a good striker but we have two fantastic strikers and this is not for this moment."

Earlier in the week, Drogba gave his blessing for a potential summer swoop for Torres.

He said: "I have heard the talk about Torres maybe coming in and I would welcome it, of course," said the Ivory Coast striker.

"Every time there is a new player coming here it's making the club bigger and giving us a lot of strength."

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
