Louis Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I didn't see that one coming! They signed both Tevez and Mascherano today - it's something to do with some MSI group - apparently linked with Russian mafia ! How exciting.

Romey 1878 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 They are only loan deals people, and if rumours are to be believed they are only there until Chelsea want them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEye Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 That's incredible. Chelsea have done that solely to keep tevez out of the hands of arsenal and man u (who are both out for a striker). Mad money and influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 So do you reckon we will see more Chelsea targets lining up for West Ham in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Maybe, Portsmouth were also contenders to get these two players aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEye Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 They'll line up for everyone. Remeber they bought smertin and loaned him out the next day? Also they bought shaun wright philips just to keep him away from arsenal i reckon. They didn't need him and didn't use him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish_Reg Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Something Fishy About Tevez And Mascherano To West Ham Deal And I’m not talking about the year’s supply of jellied eels they’ve got in front of them either. The deal to take Argentina stars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano to West Ham United hasn’t officially been confirmed yet but football discussion forums are white hot with the news and the potential implications, not only for West Ham but for the premiership at large. What would attract two of the world’s most sought after, young, talented international stars to Upton Park and the waiting arms of Alan Pardew? At first glance there is no logical explanation. West Ham had a great season last year after their promotion and surprised a lot of people (me included) with their classy football and solid defence that not only gave them a respectable league finish but also took them to the FA Cup Final. I doubt that their Cup Final defeat in one of the liveliest and most enjoyable Cup Finals in many years will have been enough to tempt the two Argies though and despite having a foot in European competition with the UEFA Cup, I doubt that’s the real pulling factor either. My suspicions lead me to a somewhat shadier deal being cooked up between the players’ club Corinthians, their owners MSI and another club with shady links to MSI and their owners. It’s long been rumoured that Roman Abramovich is the money man behind MSI and the reason that a broke Brazilian club like Corinthians could afford players like Tevez and Mascherano in the first place. It leaves no doubt in my mind that Chelsea and Roman are behind this proposed season long loan deal for the two Argentinians to West Ham and it’s only for one purpose - to acclimatise the players to London and the Premiership and see whether they are worth signing for Chelsea properly next summer. There can be no other reason for this transfer to take place. Yes, West Ham are a good, homely club with some good players but for a club to sign Carlton Cole this summer and turn around and also get Carlos Tevez, it leaves me wondering what the motives are. I think I’ve worked out the obvious answer and it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the Premiership. We’ve seen Chelsea’s strange buys and loan deals in the past with players like Smertin and Jarosik but this moves things to another level completely. Chelsea don’t outright own these players or their club but their guiding hand can skew the transfer market that they can prevent any of their near rivals in the top five from having these players while they park them at a safe and respectable club, close but not too close, for a season to let them mature in the English game. Something stinks around here and the smell is increasingly eminating from Roman Abramovich’s direction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ makes perfect doesnt it?

Tevez is rated at 18 million!! no wonder it's "undisclosed" this is the dodgiest deal in the history of the premiership... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 To sign both players apparently it is costing West ham £30million - £15million each, and then there is their HUGE wages. Wtf is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEye Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 In May, Kia Joorabchian, the president of London-based MSI, said: "Tevez will leave Corinthians if a team pays the contract's release clause, which is between £69m and £83m." WHam must have shifted a few replica shirts in the close season to afford that then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Like most of you I feel there is more to come from this, it stinks to high heaven. If it is Chelski behind it, there is a hint of genius to it too. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's absolutely buzzing, as well he might. Still bizarre though, tevez at west ham! Possibly the most amazing piece of transfer news i've ever heard.
