Mascherano wants to quit West Ham

[Morph]

notice how the players we're being linked with don't seem to involve very much money

Neill: next to nothing
Insua: loan
Mascherano: loan

I don't see much in the way of spending, must be wanting to keep the books balanced for the dic heads.

My guess is tuesday of next week, don't know why

We've got lots of games coming up, so to have them available for FA Cup/CC would be very useful

RAFA BENITEZ last night struck an amazing deal for Javier Mascherano - which left Liverpool heading for a huge row with FIFA over the transfer.

The Argentina World Cup star, 22, has undergone a medical at Anfield and will sign a loan deal until the end of the season with a view to a permanent £6million deal. But Liverpool are taking a gamble because Mascherano will have to get clearance from football's governing body over their strict transfer rules.

Mascherano, owned by investment group Media Sport Investment, had a move to Juventus fall through this week as FIFA regulations stop players from turning out for more than two clubs in the year beginning July 1, and he had already appeared for Corinthians.

FIFA spokesman Andreas Herren admitted they got involved after Liverpool contacted them last night.

He said: "The rule is binding.

There is no provision that allows for any kind of wavering of the rule."

But Benitez has persuaded Liverpool to push the deal through and Mascherano's agent Pini Zahavi is confident of overturning the rule as the midfielder played so few games for West Ham.

Hammers boss Alan Curbishley wants to keep the other MSI Argentinian, striker Carlos Tevez.
