Chelsea's Deco wants to return to Brazil

Soccer Betting Lines

03/02/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chelsea midfielder Deco seems certain to leave London this summer and return to his native Brazil.

The Portugal international moved to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona at the beginning of last season on a three-year contract but has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular during his time in the capital.

He was quoted in The Sun as saying: "I want to go back to Brazil. I still have a couple of good years of high-level football in me but I want to be near my kids.

"Ideally, I'd like to go after the World Cup and I've been talking to Chelsea about it. It will all depend on Chelsea - if the club release me or let me go on loan."

The 32-year-old ex-FC Porto midfielder was linked with a move away from Chelsea last summer with Inter Milan his preferred choice, only to eventually remain in the Premier League.

Deco has scored six goals in 52 first-team appearances during his time with the club.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
