SpoonTon Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...utd/5301068.stm If this happens it's one of the strangest transfers ever They would be incredible signings for West Ham.
Boozehound Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Strange but a great move by West Ham An internet fud is still a fud.
TRVMP Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 It's like Cruyff to Dumbarton! Well, not quite, but a major coup for West Ham.
Doddie Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Its a really great signing for the Hammers and what a strikeforce they are assemblin: Sheringham, Ashton, Zamora, Harewood, Cole and Tevez Pardew will have a hard time keepin them all happy Mascherano is a wicked player aswell, surprised to see them end up at west ham
JonaTon Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Great signings for West Ham if they go through. Terrible moves for the players in my opinion. Tevez should have come to Europe 2 years ago in my opinion and is wasting more time by joining West Ham. Both are simply too good to sign for West Ham. I wish Martin O'Neill was signing those two rather than Petrov. Twitter - JMitchell82
Jackie Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I'll be very surprised if these two sign for the hammers. Edit to add - Wonder how long it'll take for rumours to come out like, Roman Abramovic has bought these players, but gave them to West Ham, to bed them into the Premiership and London
piehutt Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I think this just goes to show the pulling power of the premiership... and London to a lesser extent. West Ham will also be in the Uefa Cup so isn't all that bad a move. BBC seems to think it is on. Twitter... tweet tweet

West Ham will also be in the Uefa Cup so isn't all that bad a move. BBC seems to think it is on. I wouldn't even say London to a lesser extent. That is probably a huge part of it. I remember in 1995 ( or 1996) Aston Villa offered Inter more money than Arsenal for Bergkamp and also offered him higher wages but he insisted on moving to Arsenal because he wanted to live / play in or near London. I was devestated as Bergkamp was my favourite world player at the time. Twitter - JMitchell82
Mr Shankly Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 The logic behind the move is simple. Corinthians have loaned these two players as no one will pay their valuation of them. So they both play in England for a year, and if they do well the price will sky rocket. If they don't do so well, then they have 2 great players back in their squad. These players will not join West Ham permanently...no chance
JonaTon Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I just noticed on Sky sports that these are season long loans. In that case I think its a good opportunity for the players as well because it allows them to prove to the bigger clubs that they can play in the Premiership. This will also have a lot to do with the fact that the new Corinthians manager hates Argenitinians and immediately stripped Tevez of the clubs captaincy when he took over. Also Mourinho has watched Corinthains a few times during the summer , mainly to watch Tevez. It will be a good chance for him to assess their worth. Twitter - JMitchell82
El Torro Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Supposedly they have agreed to sign Tevez and Mascherano on year long loans That'll certainly light up the premiership, great bit of business BBC Edit : Just seen this on the Nonsense board delete if you wish . . . YooHoo Laydeez!!
Tonosaurus Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Phenominal piece of business! A win win for the Hammers and the players' clubs! Will show the Premiership's top clubs what they are capable of, thus increasing the fee that Man Utd, Arsenal etc will pay and the obvious benefits to West Ham! � The Fire Breathing Morton Guy - I'm not Pat!

These players will not join West Ham permanently...no chance Corinthians do not actually own these 2 players. They are owned by a company, Media Sports Investments (MSI). Apparently happens with a lot of South American footballers. I believe the company loans their players out to teams for a fee so therefore it would be MSI that would gain from them having premiership experience and not Corinthians. Agent Provocateur
El Torro Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 This sounds similar to Miroslav Klose of German fame, he's owned by the German national lottery!!! . . . YooHoo Laydeez!!
SpoonTon Posted August 31, 2006 Author Posted August 31, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...utd/5301068.stm They've signed on permanent deals. It can't get much better than being a West Ham fan today
Mayos Noun Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...utd/5301068.stm They've signed on permanent deals. It can't get much better than being a West Ham fan today What a fantastic piece of business for the hammers. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.
