Ok – I know for a fact that Chelsea have funded the deal. Because Tevez and Mascherano do not have European experience, they’re being blooded in the Premiership and if they succeed Chelsea will ‘buy’ them in the summer. Confirmed by a genuine inside source.

I think it’s a tad dodgy as well. I mean how could you seriously pick West Ham over those other Preimier clubs, places that Tevez of course would be playing right away at. Maybe it is a bit of Chelsea-linked controversy…

News is breaking over here in the UK that West Ham are in talks over a possible take-over. Coincidence you think?? Of course it is. WHU sign Tevez and Mascherano initially on a loan and then it was announced the deals were permanent and then the rumours about RA, MSI, Pini Zahavi (super Footballers Agent) start to surface and WHU think they have got the ‘best’ deal of the century.

They forget that Lampard, Joe Cole, Glenn Johnson ‘fed’ Chelsea to their current success. I fear the worse for Chelsea Football Club.

Forget the flag that appears on posting. I AM posting from the UK, just using a different browser.

It’s the corporate shuffle. Just shifting the cost center.

I think they’re behind it, I mean MSI. And from some sources I understand MSI will soon takeover West Ham Utd. And the thing now is both Tevez and Mascherano are not contracted under a club, but MSI. Makes them sound like slaves more than Makalele?

My bet is that this is part of a take over by MSI.

MSI was registered as a company in London in 2004, a year after Abramovich bought Chelsea.
It’s headed by an Iranian who was educated in Britain called Kia Joorabchian who’s had dealings with Boris Berezovsky, whose business protege in the 90’s was Roman Abramovich.

Checkout this Guardian article from 2004 telling how MSI bought into Corinthians and how they signed Tevez from Boca Juniors.

YES. this is exactly the type of thing that has ruined the league. it is all about money and tv for the rich clubs. a backroom deal between west ham and chelsea.

It seems obvious to me that Chelsea is behind it. Seriously, when u have the likes of man u, arsenal, roma, milan knocking on ur door, WHU would’nt even cross my mind. In a year, they’ll both be somewhere else, i’d bet on it.

Wouldn’t shock me too much if West Ham was Chelsea’s farm club. It is hard to imagine the Hammers have the money to pony up to get those guys. Guess we’ll find out if they end up at Stamford Bridge in the future.
