After an independent arbitration panel ruled against them in the Carlos Tevez affair, West Ham could be hit with a compensation payout of over £30 million and face the possibility of shedding players to raise the cash demanded by Sheffield United. Sky Bet have opened a book on who will be the first Hammers player sold and make Dean Ashton 5/4 favourite. Keeper Robert Green is 11/4 second favourite to be shipped out first, with Mark Noble quoted at 13/2 and Scott Parker at 7/1.

While Gianfranco Zola’s spending could be severely restricted in the January transfer window, Mark Hughes faces no such problems at Eastlands now that the takeover of Manchester City by the Abu Dhabi United Group is complete. Sky Bet are offering odds on who will be the first £20 million pound player to join the Citizens during the January sales. Ronaldinho, Mario Gomez and Lionel Messi head the betting at 8/1. Valencia striker David Villa is quoted at 10/1 to be City’s next big signing and Cesc Fabregas is quoted at 13/1.

After thrashing Portsmouth 6-0 last weekend, City are 4/1 to win a trophy this season and Sky Bet make them 4/1 to be the highest scoring team in The Premier League this term.
