Apparently it is quite common for individuals to own players contracts rather than clubs in South America . I don't really know how it works but I suspect it has something to do with clubs trying to finance debts without selling their best players and it has caused problems in the past with transfers

HOLY ****ING ****!! Its not a loan...

Quote:
West Ham United are delighted to announce the double signing of Argentinian World Cup stars Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano from Brazilian club Corinthians.

The pair have been signed for an undisclosed fee and put pen to paper on permanent contracts with the Club this afternoon. All other aspects of the transfers will remain confidential and undisclosed.

The transfers represent a massive coup for the Hammers, who have beaten off some of Europe's biggest clubs to secure the services of the duo - both of whom played a key role for Argentina as they reached the World Cup quarter-finals in Germany this summer before losing to the hosts in a penalty shoot-out.

You know The Sun on line reported that the deal was a loan with the view to a permanent transfer, I just assumed that the transfer would be to some one else ;) :D, defiantly one of the better bits of business done this summer :tu:

This is the deal according to the Telegraph...

Quote:
All that West Ham would say is that the deal for both players is permanent, although it is understood that the package could eventually cost them an eye-watering £60 million.

That is highly unlikely as, in return for paying a small fee for the players and covering their wages now, West Ham have agreed to hefty sell-on clauses in the event of one of the bigger clubs in the Premiership, or on the continent, making a bid. It is believed that if a £30 million bid for either is tabled, then West Ham must sell or pay Corinthians the same amount to keep them.

In return, West Ham will also get a small percentage of any sell-on fee. Corinthians are also understood to have negotiated an option to buy them back at the same price West Ham have paid.

Apparently we only paid a million for them, personally I think there is more to this, there is talk of them being part of a £132 million take over by the MSI group, which imo would be bad for the club, last year when they tried it was reported that they wanted to turn the club into a feeder for clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea.
