Valero returns to Spain with Villarreal

Soccer Betting Lines

07/19/2010 - Villarreal, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - West Bromwich Albion have cut their losses on Borja Valero after allowing the midfielder to return to Spain with Villarreal.

Valero, 25, joined the Baggies from Mallorca for a club record $7 million fee two years ago but struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League.

He returned to Mallorca on a season-long loan last season and has now signed for their La Liga rivals on a similar basis with a view to a permanent deal.

"After relegation in 2009 we agreed to loan Borja to Real Mallorca," sporting and technical director Dan Ashworth told the club's official website.

"On the back of an outstanding season in Spain and taking into account his professional and personal wishes, we decided to accept an offer from Villarreal."

Valero made 36 appearances for the Baggies but failed to find the net in English football.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
