Rovers Return For Bellers?

[Slim]

another thing i didn't think of, if West Ham are supposedly one of the ones looking to sign him up then they can't possibly still have his contract

I think West Ham are claiming they now own his contract but it only runs until the end of the season when he becomes a free agent, so technically they could resign him.


Its confusing!

[dww]

I thought West Ham now owned Tevez as they had to produce evidence to the Premier League to show termination of their contract with MSI, as well as a letter from the companies acknowledging receipt?

No they had to prove the contract they had with him gave MSI no control over team affairs. I heard they basically copied our contract with Masher but with a time length 'til the end of the season and no agreed first option at the end of it.

I remain unsure of why the league find this more or less acceptable than the previous arrangement which allowed MSI to buy the players back for a nominal fee, but there you go.

Bellamy really would be the ideal replacement for Tevez. I think he'd do very well for the 'ammers.

Hammers 'hoping to bag Bellamy'

West Ham are resigned to losing Carlos Tevez to a top Spanish club in the summer - and could replace him with Liverpool's Craig Bellamy.

Tevez's end-of-season form was a crucial factor in the Hammers' great escape from the Premiership relegation trap door.

But the 23-year-old Argentina ace's days at Upton Park look numbered, with a switch to the Primera Liga widely expected in the coming weeks.

Real Madrid are leading the chase for Tevez's services, and attention in the East End has already turned to his successor in Alan Curbishley's forward line.

And chairman Eggert Magnusson has reportedly earmarked Bellamy as the man to maintain the Hammers' attacking zest.

The Reds could be tempted to part with the Wales international, 27, especially as Magnusson is prepared to hand Rafael Benitez a £2million profit on top of the £6million he paid to Blackburn last summer.

I'd have thought quite a few people would like to "bag" him, in the CSI sense.

I would be keen to cash in on him. He was never my favourite player, even though my opinion of him has improved I still don't think he is the answer. He is much better than Cisse who was unbelievably tactically dumb whose movement was unforgivably terrible.

He can't use his pace in any good way. Compere him to Villa for example who knows when to make a run.

Terrible comparison, even though Villa has great movement and decent pace I wouldn't call him a "fast" player like Bellamy or Cisse. A better example would be Saviola or the likes of.
