Keyz 1-8-7 Posted August 31, 2006 Tell me about it, i was shocked man. That agency MSI that owns them happens to be co-owned by Abramovich so no doubt they will make their way to chelsea in the near future. Here's me thinking their in London to sign for Arsenal, who was I kidding? Reyes is leaving for Real Madrid for the fee of 2 mill and Baptista included. I'm just glad this poor chap has gone back, he was way to soft and cowardly for the premiership but Baptista aka The beast looks like a perfect premiership player, I just wonder where he will play?

N.O.R.F Posted August 31, 2006 Teves and Mascherano - over rated Babtista - will be a good signing for Arsenal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyz 1-8-7 Posted August 31, 2006 You got a point, theres just stuff we hear about how greta they are let us see how good they really are. Tevez does look like a strong player tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted August 31, 2006 To me a player is always over-rated untill he performs consistently for 3 years minimum, then he becomes average Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OneManGang Posted September 1, 2006 This is still rumours it aint' comfirmed yet. How possibly that can be true? West Ham dont' have that much money to splash on that talent. I know I am sarcastic, but dmn that has to be one of the best deal that ever happened in EPL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United were all thought to be competing for the duo, along with some of the continents elite including Bayern Munich and Milan. However, The Hammers have struck a deal with Media Sports Investments (MSI) - who own the rights to the Corinthians pair. Portsmouth were also in line to broker a move, but it seems MSI have decided that a move to West Ham will best serve their prize assets. The deal is believed to be initially for a season-long loan for the duo - but it could become permanent if all parties are happy. The pair are both currently in England ahead of this weekend's Brazil versus Argentina clash at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. A statement on Tevez's website claims a move is done for himself and Mascherano. "Carlitos Tevez and his former Corinthians team-mate, Javier Mascherano, has signed a contract to play with West Ham United of England," read the statement." I'm just glad Liverpool played West Ham already, let me put it that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyz 1-8-7 Posted September 1, 2006 They are both on season long loan deals and have 20 million buy outclauses with Man U having first option on Mascherano. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
