Hello,

Must be the deal of the season, but West Ham have signed Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/5301068.stm

I can't wait to see them in the Premiership.

It now looks as if Tevez and Mascherano's moves to West Ham (apparently on loan) are official.

Hammers fans must be ecstatic, even if it ultimately proves to be a short-term 'springboard' to a bigger move for them.

Can't think of any bigger 'surprise deals' in recent times.  Keegan to Southampton maybe in the early 80s.  Anyone come up with anything better?

Tevez - as in Carlos?

I think O'Niell to Villa is pretty huge considering some of the jobs he was linked with!

Yep, Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano, part of the only Argentinian World Cup team who's football made me overcome my natural desire for them to fail miserably.

Even if it is just keeping them warm for Chelsea, the Investment company that owns their rights is connected to Abramovich, its impressive stuff

Enjoy Hammers fans

I wonder how much of a say the players actually had in this move.

Great result for Hammers fans and the EPL though, lucky gits  talktothehand

These rumours of links to Abramovich have yet to be proved - i think it has more to do with the company who own them both wanting to get a foot in the door at West Ham as they tried to buy the club a few years back but were turned down.

The fact that West Ham wont release any details of the transfers including length of contract means that the rumour mongers are going to have a field day with lots of different speculations as to the terms of the deal.

Just in case anyone is confused at Sheriff's stating the obvious, I merged two threads on the same subject

I heard a rumour that Chelsea were financing the move pending them going to them next season.

As Matt says though, rumour mongers will have a field day with this.
