Good God. Permanent deals. Mascherano has asked to wear number 6 because of Bobby Moore. About an hour ago we were linked to Cicinho. I can't stop giggling.
Around 6pm Kia Joorbachian gave an illuminating interview on 5 Live Sport. Here's what i can remember (i'll post a link when it goes up on listen again):
- Having attempted to buy the club last year Kia (pictured) stayed in touch with Paul Aldridge (Chief Exec) and Terry Brown, remaining "close friends".
- Kia is no longer trying to buy the club.
- The deal is "complicated" (!). He compared it to the Rooney deal.
- They turned down offers from a host of European clubs.
- He mentioned, a few times, that the deal was intentioned to show that the Premiership is not a foregone conclusion; a one-team league
- Tevez and Mascherano were happy to join West Ham, as they both relished a challenge.
- He categorically denied that any of the money behind MSI was from Abramovic.
- He refused to discuss the intracacies of the deal, but iterated that the deals are permanent.
There was a lot more, but i can't really remember i've been in shock all day. Call me a mug, but the guy sounded pretty sincere. To be honest i couldn't give seven shades of shit. We've got Tevez and Mascherano. TEVEZ AND MASCHERANO!
I'm off. Most humerous story of the day here
