Well I'm glade that they are out of our way this season, seeing as they didnt go to any potential opponents
Omg right, i just heard this on Sky Sports News on TV. Apparently Tevez has said so himself and West Ham will officially announce it later today. I just can't beleive that puny minions like West Ham have stolen him from under some of the biggest noses in European football!
Devastated!

West Ham United are set to pull off a major coup by the signing Argentine stars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

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.
South American sources claim 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, although it remains to be seen whether West Ham could afford them with both players carrying price tags of over £15 million.
The pair are both currently already in England ahead of this weekend's Brazil versus Argentina clash at Arsenal's brand new Emirates Stadium and this has aided the move.
A statement on Tevez's website states a move to Upton Park for himself and Mascherano has been sealed.
"Carlitos Tevez along with his former Corinthians team-mate, Javier Mascherano, has signed a contract to play with West Ham United of England," read the statement.

Yep. It's a done.
West Ham... well, it's a good club, but for Tevez and Mascherano 'quality'?
I believe this is only 1 year in West Ham, and next year both will be in Chelsea.

I like Tevez no doubt a great talent but let's see how he does in the EPL, there are many good players who have had great years in other leagues but have floundered when going to the EPL. I believe that Tevez will have a good season and only get better but it will be very interesting to watch his development.
