Scottish Mag 3 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 West Ham United are set to pull off a major coup by the signing Argentine stars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano, skysports.com can reveal. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United were all thought to be competing for the duo, along with some of the continents elite including Bayern Munich and Milan. However, The Hammers have struck a deal with Media Sports Investments (MSI) - who own the rights to the Corinthians pair. South American sources claim Portsmouth were also in line to broker a move, but it seems MSI have decided that a move to West Ham will best serve their prize assets. The deal is believed to be initially for a season-long loan for the duo - but it could become permanent if all parties are happy, although it remains to be seen whether West Ham could affor them with both players carrying price tags of over £15 million. The pair are both currently already in England ahead of this weekend's Brazil versus Argentina clash at Arsenal's brand new Emirates Stadium and this has aided the move. A statement on Tevez's website claims a move is done for himself and Mascherano. "Carlitos Tevez along with his former Corinthians team-mate, Javier Mascherano, has signed a contract to play with West Ham United of England," read the statement.

Bombadil 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Don't worry lads, Roeder will be watching them play for West Ham and if they're good enough for us, we will be in pole position to sign them in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohh_ahh_Shearaa 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 wtf? 188314[/snapback] Totally agreed. Just got in from a grandmother visit and this is the first thing I see on SSN. If they pull his one off..I shall be a little miffed!!! Pompey and the 'ammers are certainly showing us the way to deal in the transfer market. As menioned countless times...we have known that we need striking options for a while...its been a while since we lost Owen......we have always needed defensive improvements...... WHAT THE HELL HAS THIS CLUB BEEN DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have missed out on a handful of quality players in this window......it started to go pear shaped when Gudjonson left for Barca. He should have been top of our list!!! Oh well..still 13 hrs to go....I hope that we repeat the last one....sign a couple late...and hopefully they are quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 2 of the best players in the world . . . . . going to west ham!!! This must be the most bizarre transfer in the history of the premiership!!! And we look like missing out on Tevez when we are gagging for a decent striker.
