So what the 'big' clubs are going to wait for a year see these 2 play really well and then pay over the odds for them next summer, when they could get the pair for a lot cheaper NOW.
Please let these 2 go to a Champions League club! Come on BUY BUY BUY!
Well they are too good players but where are they going to play them? I think its a outstanding piece of business however south americans notoriously take a year to settle into England some fail to settle at all (Veron, Kleberson etc). West Ham will benefit from having them for sure especially with being in europe where they will need a big squad to cope on both fronts in europe and domestically.
I thought my friend had gone mad when he told me about this but then i thought, for tevez and masherano they can show english and europen clubs they can play in this league. 2) there time to settle will b at a smaller club and west ham got 2 world class ( and they r) players
Chelsea at work again. Coincidence that Roman Abromavich has a stake in MSI,the agency that represents both players. Obviously done to prevent them going to United or Arsenal,and perhaps to see if they adapt to the Premiership,and then make the trip across to Chelsea next season after the loan.
This man is now controlling the transfer dealings in England,sad day.

How can West Ham afford them? there is more to this than meets the eye I think. And why would they go to West Ham when they are sought after by all of the ''super powers''?
I can't see this being a long term thing infact id be suprised if they were there next season.

Na not Chelski this time. MSI is an iranian/british guy backed by a chechnian guy. They tried to buy Wet spam last year so i suspect this will be a prelude to them putting in another offer.

West Ham fans can perhaps start dreaming of their team becoming 'the next Chelsea' after a billionaire oligarch hinted at a proposed takeover of the club.
Badri Patarkatsishvili, owner of the Georgian champions Dinamo Tbilisi, is the wealthiest man in Georgia and is bankrolling his country's bid for the 2014 winter Olympics. Speaking exclusively to The Observer, Badri has revealed his links to Corinthians, the Brazilian club whose holding company have shown an interest in West Ham. When asked directly if he was behind a move for the London club, he refused to comment on or deny involvement.
Roman Abramovich, Boris Berezovsky, his exiled fellow Russian tycoon, and Badri have frequently been linked with the £18million takeover of Corinthians, the Sao Paulo club, last year.
Media Sports Investment, a company registered in London whose backers are unknown, took control of Corinthians and soon delivered the £10m signing of Argentina playmaker Carlos Tevez and the league title.
When MSI head Kia Joorabchian met the West Ham chairman Terence Brown in May to discuss a £70m takeover of the club with a further £200m promised for investment, Berezovsky was reported to be involved.
Last week Badri seemed to concede as much when he said: 'We have invested in a wonderful football club in Brazil, Corinthians. We have invested in the Brazil team with Boris Berezovsky.'
He added: 'I have a couple of [football] investments that I am reluctant to mention - they are in the process of being finalised. I think money has a wonderful habit of flowing where it feels comfortable. I invest in these football clubs with friends.' When pressed if one of them was West Ham, he declined to comment.
But Berezovsky, speaking on Friday, contradicted Badri. 'I am not an investor in MSI. Company management has asked me to invest in the team [Corinthians], but I told them I had no such intention. I have invested in the construction of the stadium for the club.'
And West Ham? 'I am not going to participate in this at all. The management of MSI have asked me to, but I've refused. I do not participate in this business. In England, I am an Arsenal fan, not a potential investor in British football clubs.'
Lord Bell of the London PR consultancy, Bell Pottinger, called The Observer on Friday to say that he represented both Berezovsky and Badri and that neither is an investor directly in MSI.
'They've put investment in the stadium. Both have been approached by MSI to invest both in Corinthians and potentially West Ham - not that any bid has yet been made or put together. But neither has participated.
'Boris isn't particularly interested in investing in football teams as such. He is interested in the infrastructure of football, which he thinks could provide a good return.'
Berezovsky was the mentor of Abramovich before he accused the Chelsea owner in 2000 of acting for the Russian president Vladimir Putin and forcing him and Badri to sell their shares in Sibneft, the Russian aluminium company, and a TV station to Abramovich for a reduced price of $1 billion. He and Badri were placed on the international wanted list in 2003 by the Russian government and Berezovsky, who has lived in London since 2000, was granted political shelter in the capital last September.
Badri is wanted in Moscow for fraud and embezzlement, and rarely leaves Tbilisi, while Berezovsky and Abramovich have fallen out. Badri described the Chelsea owner as 'a person of integrity' who 'has his own sense of pride and dignity'. Badri added: 'He is the man who keeps his word. And I always maintain warm relations with him.'

If they play really well, how long will they be there for before the big clubs come sniffing around them? Perhaps they are waiting for them to prove themselves in Europe first, as there must have been some doubts in the first place for none to make serious bids
Very happy hammer here today! Dont know how Pardew did it but i'm not complaining!! Hooray!

Originally posted by CaptVimes: I said that on best and worst signings zeds. I bet Carlton Cole is well pissed off.
more so Zamora after his 4 in 3 games.
Thats exactly my thoughts zeds. am a bit worried Pardew will put my bobby back on the bench. I hope pardew gives him a few more starts, he's proving himself to be a goal maker and has easily become a part of the starting line up.
