QPR Make Real Madrid Signing To Boost Championship Betting Odds
Friday 01 August 2008 at 12:05
QPR have pulled off what could be the signing of the season by persuading Real Madrid youngster Dani Perejo to join the club in a two year deal. Parejo joins several other good signings with top level experience as QPR bid to win the race for the Premiership this season.
More Good Signings For QPR
Radek Cerny and Peter Ramage have already joined from Tottenham and Newcastle respectively to link up with Iain Dowie’s revolution at Loftus Road. Some bookmakers have QPR as favourites to win the Championship but Stan James have gone a stand out price of 8/1.The 5/2 Stan James are offering on QPR to be promoted looks particularly good value considering the signings they have made.
Birmingham Have Great Striking Options
Birmingham remain favourites to win the league at 13/2 with Sportingbet and they are 15/8 with Bet365 and SkyBet to achieve promotion. Birmingham can look forward to a strike pairing of James McFadden and Kevin Phillips and that should be one of the best partnerships the Championship has seen so expect a solid season from them.
Reading Should Mount A Challenge
Reading are the only other team the bookies have given a single figure price to and they are 9/1 with SkyBet and VC Bet to win the league and 11/4 with William Hill and Blue Square to gain promotion. Reading still have the bulk of their Premiership squad but may loser players as the transfer deadline draws closer. Still they have a very good manager in the shape of Steve Coppell and they should do well.
