Torres: Villa out of Liverpool's range
Soccer Betting Lines
06/30/2009 - Liverpool, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has accepted that his club do not have the financial muscle needed to try and sign Valencia star David Villa.
Spain international Villa has been tracked by several of Europe's top clubs this summer, although he now looks set to stay put at the Mestalla.
Torres told Zoo magazine: "I don't know about Liverpool's financial situation but I know we don't have the same money as Manchester United or Chelsea.
"We're fighting them with less money every season. That's not a problem for us - we're a strong team and we'll win trophies with money or without it.
"The important thing is we're getting closer to the title. It's been frustrating for me because three years without a trophy for Liverpool is too long.
"I know Rafa Benitez is working hard to bring in good players, but I'm pretty sure David Villa will be too expensive for us.
"He is an outstanding striker and if Liverpool could sign anyone, I'd ask for him. He's been in sensational form this season."

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
