Whoa sweet child of mine. West Ham to sign Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez. Fuck me. Its currently 1.55pm and i'm in a bit of a tizzy. First some basics:
Carlos Tevez is owned by MSI, a sports investment company run by Iranian Kia Jorbachian. MSI took control of Corinthians last year, and as a present brought Tevez along as part of the deal. Around the same time, MSI tried to buy West Ham, but having been quoted an overinflated price pulled out of the deal.
Rumours have abounded for some time that the money behind MSI is coming from a certain Russian you might have heard of...Roman Abramovich. When Corinthians brokered a deal for Brazilian Carlos Alberto last year, Kia Jorbachian and agent Pinhas Zahavi split the rights for a future deal. Zahavi aslo brokered the deal purchasing Chelsea for Abramovic. In any case Zahavi, Abramovic and Jorbachian are all mates. ***side point; Corinthians just sorted out Adidas and Samsung as sponsers...remind you of anyone?*** see this
Here are the possibilities:
1) Having touted the pair around for a few weeks- an MSI delegation has been in the country for a while- they coldn't convince Manure Arse or Chelsea to cough up the cash, so have opted to send them on loan in the Premiership to wave them infront of prospective buyers' eyes for another year.
2) Kia Jorbachian is set to launch another takeover bid for West Ham, and has given us Mascherano and Tevez as a sweetener. A very sweet one indeed.
3) Chelsea have agreed a deal in principle to buy the pair, but did not want to cough up £40m straight up for two players who could prove to be flops outside of of South America. So, they have been sent on loan to West Ham for them to cut their teeth. NB the Abramovich link.
4) This is a horrible hoax by Spurs fans still pissed off that we stopped them from getting into the Champions League last year.
I'll blog again at the end of the day. Assuming i'm still in control of my bodily functions.
PS
For the record, Steed Malbranque and Pascal Chimbonda are a pair of troublemaking twats, Spurs are welcome to them.

Could'nt agree more about Steed and Pascal. Good players but poor attitudes.
and what I would give to be a fly on the wall in the corridors of Upton Park over the last couple of days.
It's a joke... Surely it must be one massive joke. There's no other explanation. And with the greatest of respect to West Ham (and I honestly really like West Ham as a club), this is bloody ridiculous!
Suddenly, the Hammers (yes, Alan Devonshire, Steve Potts, Marco Boogers) have 2 of the great young players in the world! It's mental.
They could have gone anywhere in the world... I reckon they just want to get onto the London property ladder so they found a two-bed appartment in Lambeth.
Congrats to the Hammers, enjoy the footie this season. I'll be amazed if they're still about next year. I reckon they might have climbed the property ladder by then to, say, the Fulham Road?!
hmmm...
interesting article from last year when tevez transferred from boca to corinthians.
I smell a rat. He's Russian and he answers to the name of Roman.
