Flamengo offer West Ham deal to take Tevez and Mascherano Jon Brodkin and Matt Scott
Wednesday November 15, 2006
The Guardian The Brazilian club Flamengo are keen to bring West Ham's Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano back to South America. The Argentina internationals moved to Upton Park from Corinthians in August but have failed to hold down regular places, and Flamengo plan to discuss a possible transfer with Kia Joorabchian, the businessman who was instrumental in bringing the players to the England and effectively controls their futures.
Sources at West Ham insist Tevez and Mascherano have no interest in returning to South America, but Flamengo will propose a loan move in January for six months, principally to strengthen their Libertadores Cup campaign. A Flamengo delegation is in London, though discussions about Tevez and Mascherano are not the major reason and the club are not confident of a deal.
The trip is understood to have been arranged to try to arrange transfer business not involving Premiership clubs and search for investment. That is another subject Flamengo wish to discuss with Joorabchian, who looks unlikely to end up controlling West Ham. He leads a consortium involving the Israeli Eli Papouchado but a rival bid led by the president of the Football Association of Iceland, Eggert Magnusson, is in pole position. Alan Pardew was yesterday assured of his job security should Magnusson's £75m takeover of West Ham be successful. The Icelander, a Uefa executive committee member, is in the advanced stages of due diligence and hopes to take control of the club this week or next. Pardew retains the support of fans and Magnusson has recognised the manager's contribution in transforming the Upton Park club from a Championship side to last season's FA Cup finalists. Magnusson has already committed to working with Pardew, who has been under pressure after a poor start to the season, and providing money for new signings in the January transfer window if the takeover goes ahead. The Icelandic consortium's team are inspecting the east London club's accounts and a formal offer is expected to be made within a week and perhaps as soon as Friday. After being rebuffed by West Ham's chairman Terry Brown initially, the Magnusson-led bid appears to have surged far ahead of Joorabchian's consortium. It also went through the due diligence process and had meetings with Brown and Pardew, but an offer has not materialised. Brown now seems to be keener on Magnusson, who was given a guided tour of Upton Park this week. The billionaire financier Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson, chairman of the Icelandic bank Landsbanki, is supporting Magnusson's offer for the Premiership club. Magnusson, who along with other members of the consortium is also putting up some of the money, met the West Ham chairman Brown last week and indicated he would be prepared to offer £75m, with the bulk coming from equity rather than borrowing, and would also be prepared to take on £22.5m debt. In Scotland, Hearts have replaced their caretaker manager Eduard Malofeev with the Kaunas head coach, Eugenijus Riabovas. | 动荡的西汉姆：球员的收购和球队的收购ING Jon Brodkin and Matt Scott

卫报 巴西老牌劲旅最近打算把特维斯和马斯切拉诺带回美洲大陆. 两个阿根廷人登陆欧洲后始终未能打上主力位置， 有鉴于此，弗拉门戈也开始蠢蠢欲动，准备同Kia Joorabchian进行转会的谈判。这个KIA可不简单，他把马兽带到欧洲，而且对马兽的前途有着决定权。（PICCER：宜杀之：（
从铁锤帮传来的消息是,马兽从未打算回到南美（PICCER：至少功成名就之前吧。） 不过弗拉门戈的要求也不高，从明年起租借6个月加强解放者杯的竞争力也好。一个弗拉门戈的代表现在伦敦同西汉姆商谈，但是马兽的事情不是重点，因为他们自觉也没多少底气。 弗拉门戈代表此行的主要目的是探索英甲及以下球队的转会机会以及寻求投资商. 这也是弗拉门戈同Joorabchian谈判的另外一个话题，后者对西汉姆的控制仍未结束. KIA有一些财团的支持，包括以色列人 Eli Papouchado 。不过竞争对手冰岛足协主席 Eggert Magnusson 已经快得手了。 阿伦帕度昨天刚刚得到保证，前提是 Magnusson 能以7500万英镑买下西汉姆. 这个冰岛人，同时也是欧足联的执委，目前正在对公司作一些收购检查；也许下个星期或者稍晚一点，他就是西汉姆的新老板了。帕度有球迷的支持；而且 Magnusson 也意识到了西汉姆作为上赛季足总杯亚军的巨大进步和潜力。
Magnusson 已经开始和帕度合作；而后者经历了一个苦涩的赛季之初。为了加强球队的实力，冰岛人承诺收购后买入一些新的球员。
冰岛人正在查西汉姆的账册而一个正式的收购可能在本周五（17日）就结束了. 在被西汉姆主席Terry Brown 回绝后, Magnusson 的收购却比 Joorabchian走的更远. 后者同样运作了一个收购计划，但迟迟未能付诸实施。
布朗现在更倾向于 Magnusson的收购，甚至带着冰岛足协主席逛了一下upton park. 亿万富翁 Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson，冰岛一家大银行的老板是Magnusson收购要约的幕后支持者。
Magnusson和其他一些出资人同 Brown 进行了一次会面。会面中，冰岛人明确表示他将提出7500万英镑的要约（股份而非融资）, 同时也会以融资的形式投入2250万英镑。 |
