Hughes reveals ambitious City transfer plan

Soccer Betting Lines

12/08/2008 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has revealed he is targeting five new signings when the transfer window reopens next month.

The Citizens have been linked with a host of leading players from across the globe following the takeover of the club by the Abu Dhabi United group earlier in the season.

City splashed out a British transfer record amount of money to lure Robinho from Real Madrid on the last day of August.

But despite admitting problems when it comes to concluding major business in the mid-season transfer window, Hughes is hopeful of adding significant new faces to his squad.

City are reported to be on the trail of Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz, while further reports suggest players of the caliber of AC Milan's Brazil star Kaka are on their radar.

"We're looking for targets to balance the team," Hughes told the Manchester Evening News.

"There are a lot of players out there who people are getting very excited about - some huge stars but maybe not in the positions we're looking to strengthen."

Meanwhile, Hughes has reiterated his previous claim that he and not the club's Middle Eastern owners has the final say over who arrives at Eastlands.

He added: "This club is going to change hugely. We want to be part of the best clubs in the world but the new owners do not tell us who should come or not.

"They just want us to communicate the names of the players we need and they give us the means to sign them."

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
