HAMMERS SIGN ARGENTINIAN DUO
Posted 31/08/06 17:09
West Ham United have completed the signings of Argentina duo Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano from Corinthians for undisclosed fees.
The pair have both agreed permanent switches to Upton Park after the club agreed a fee with the company that own the players' transfer rights, Media Sports Investments.
The Hammers have beaten off a number of the world's top clubs to bring the pair to England, including Premiership trio Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Striker Tevez and midfielder Mascherano both starred for their country at this summer's World Cup and were tipped for big-money moves to one of Europe's top sides.
However, Upton Park will now be their new destination after both players signed permanent deals on Thursday.
Tevez is labelled as Argentina's new Diego Maradona, while Mascherano is tipped to be a star on the world stage.
At 22, both players are not yet at their peak, with their best years ahead of them, and Hammers fans will be licking their lips at the prospect of the pair plying their trade under Alan Pardew.
Both players are currently involved with the national team's preparations for the friendly against Brazil at The Emirates Stadium and will now return to the Argentina camp.
Tevez and Mascherano will both be available for selection for West Ham's next game against Aston Villa next week, where increased attention will almost certainly now be focused.
I thought everyone wanted to go to Manchester United if they had the chance?
So its obvious then... you didn't bid for Torres, you didn't bid for Hargreaves, you didn't bid for Senna and you didn't bid for anyone else who didn't come... fair enough I say... obviously the only players you bid for were Carrick and Kuscask (however you speel the poles name)...MUFCBOY wrote:west ham have had the best summer with signings
the only excuse is we didnt bid for him.lol
we will still be a force... probs will fail jst like veron, but its gonna b gd 2 see them 2 every week in the epl!!

Corinthians are partially owned by the Media Sports Investments company, in which Roman Abramovich is said to have a significant holding. Apparently MSI owns the contracts of both players and can therefore block moves to, say, clubs likely to rival Chelsea for domestic or European glory. Whats the odds once they've settled in for a year and have an impact that they'll be off to Chelsea. Corinthisans initally wanted upwards of $60 m for these. I dont think WHAM have that money, but good luck to them being a nursery for Chelsea.

Sifting through 3 pages of bollox about who is better and who is not gets a bit boring when its in every topic. You posted a West Ham story in a West Ham topic and still tried to turn it into a Man Utd arent as good as Liverpoo topic. Seriously if your trying to prove a point to Ronaldo07, dont waste your time, just ignore him like everyone else tries to.LFTWNG11 wrote:what did I repeat? I was just arguing the point with MUFCBOY...
I mean if you dont like me, fair enough, or if you think I talk cabernet, fair enough but please dont compare ronaldo07 to me... its just raises him to a whole new level he will never get to...

hell yeh we'll be a nursery , how else would we attract these players ?
not just a nursery for chelsea though ,
manu havent done too bad out of us either with rio and mc
and spurs with jd
anton and nrc will probably both go within the next couple of years
the epl is basically a 4 team competition,
the rest of the clubs are realistically just feeder clubs for the big 4
all the best young players will be bought by the big 4
just as swp from man city to chelsea (even though the move cost him a world cup gig )
the fact that abramovichs msi group owns the 2 argies is neither here nor there. he wants to keep them but cant fit them into the chelsea side at the moment so he sends them to us for a year or 2 for epl expereience so they are ready to take over from ballack and fatfrank
schitt yeh we'll take them

diego im well man, jst aint been out, either doin sumfin with the boys or out with the missus!

im gonna go 2 the nxt adl utd game so probs see ya there
For one, I didn't start the Riise v Heinze topic... secondly I'm sorry for starting up the Vidic v Agger post, I didn't realise it would have such an adverse effect on all of your lives... and finally nothing I wrote on this particular topic was directed to ronaldo07, it was actually directed at all the Mancs, who 1. pay our Liverpool for their transfer dealings, and 2. It was the Mancs who were saying in other topics that they could get whoever they wanted for whatever price.
And BPBC I was not changing this topic from something to do with West Ham's transfer dealings to solely a United topic... I actually posted an article saying that the signings were official and laughed at the fact that they were Manchester United targets... I don't see how I hi-jacked the topic...
Either way, you two have so much in common and understand one another you could maybe hook-up and bounce ideas of each other.
