Hammers to land Corinthians duo

Sky Sports - Hammers to land Corinthians duo

So no Mascherano or Tevez at Arsenal. At least they didn't join Man U or Chelsea. On the other hand West Ham will now be a serious force.

The dark side of this deal is the sure involvement of the Russians. MSI, who own the rights to these players thanks to a deal with Corinthians, are London based and have links with the Russians who are funding West Ham and Chelsea for that matter. Dark days indeed. West Ham should be an interesting team to watch now though.
