West Ham sign 2 star Argies

[Will]

Look at Corinthians, they're bankrupt and in the relegation zone after 18 games, so I wouldn't get your hopes up about what MSI would do for you. It seems Tevez and Mascherano moved to West Ham to be put in the shop window and attract the likes of Chelsea and will move on in a year, plus they're still owned by MSI, not WHU.

That's how MSI operate, they put south americans in the shop window to attract a big bid from wealthy european sides and of course Chelsea are the wealthiest so now they want to do it in the Prem.

I can see your point but with £100m to spend if the take over happens then as they leave for another club then we have the money to replace them with other top stars... ok so it's not the best but in time IF West Ham become conteneders to the top four then there will be no need to sell top stars to the top four....Also there has been talk of us getting the olympic stadium when the olympics have finished. I think that this is the way football is going and i'm glad we have joined the ride early.[/b]

I see utd turned down the chance to sign both these players. They wasnt even interested in tevez and why would they be when they have one of the bes in rooney.

Mascherano though i thought they would have gone for, especially knowing hargreaves was staying at bayern.

And will its a bit harsh calling upton park a shithole. Rememeber it was only 6 months ago arsenal were playing at piss stained joke of a ground called highbury. Now that was a shithole

[Will]

Yeah right, Highbury was a very nice stadium in a very nice area! Better than Upton Park, the Dell or St Mary's any day. :roll:

I reckon they wanted loads of money for Mascherano and that's why it didn't happen.
