Inter Milan wins race for Brazilian Silva

Soccer Betting Lines

12/11/2008 - Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inter Milan has reportedly won the race to sign highly-rated Brazilian defender Thiago Silva.

The Fluminense youngster was heavily linked with a move to Inter's city rivals AC Milan and also Spanish side Villarreal.

The 24-year-old has broken into the full Brazil squad of late following his impressive performances for the Olympic squad at last summer's Beijing games.

He was the subject of an unsuccessful $7.4 million bid from Villarreal earlier in the season. Earlier in the month, Silva's agent admitted his client was interested in a move to the Italian champions.

"The Nerazzurri are a great club and every player would like to move there but we have not decided yet," said agent Paulo Tonietto.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
