WHEN WEST HAM UNITED WERE FINED FOR BUYYYING TWO FOOTBALLERS.

  Now in the year 2005, the English club Sheffield United  wanted to buy a striker and a holding midfielder. That time the Brazilian club Corinthians , put up not one player but two players for sale, and both were Argentineans , they were Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano .

 Sheffield United were interested and got talks stared to buy both of them.

 But out of the blue West Ham United  came into the picture and got the deal done and dusted  on the very last day pf the transfer window.

 Now Carlos Tevez   single handedly  saw that West Ham United were not relegated.

 But Sheffield United  were relegated that year.

 But F.I.F.A acted swiftly here and fined West Ham United 18,eighteen million pounds.

 This was why the club was fined. According to F.I.F.A's rules  a player must have a registered agent, and can not belong to a third party, the deal should go thtrough with the clus and agents only.

 But here both Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez were not owned by any club in Brazil , but to a third party.

LIONEL MESSI ADMITTED THAT HE COULD HAVE LEFT SPAIN AND BARCELONA.

  Te Argentinean footballer Lionel Messi  has come out to say  that after his court case  in the income  tax matter , where e was accused of not paying taxes to Spain.
 He was originally given 21 twenty one months imprisonment  , but it was later  changed to a fine of 4.1 million pounds.
 Now in Spain the Income tax law is different to other countries . The problem here was  that money collected for commercial deals outside Spain, was thought by many people this sum need not ay tax on this is money, made abroad. But Spain says  tat if you are paying your taxes in Spain then that money should also be accounted   for. Many have fallen into this trap  like Romario , Javier Mascherano, Xavi Alonso, Rafael Nadal, Jose Mourinho and the princess of Spain even.
 And according to Spanish law, if the person has not been convicted before  he need not go to jail at all.
 Now Lionel Messi says he wanted to leave Spain, because of the way he was treated, but please note he did not want to leave Barcelona.

SIGH TODAYS CLUBS DO NOT DEVELOP LEADERS ONTHE PITCH..

It is the honest truth here that clubs no longer develop players who were real leaders , who lead by example I would say. Gone are the days , when youngsters had a leader to look up to . Gone are the days of leaders like Roy Keane, Tony Adams, Patrick Vieira, Javier Mascheano, Javier Zanetti. Fernando Hiero. Martin Keown. I miss the fighting in the tunnel, between Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane, I remember Roy Keane taking a throw in, and intently throwing the ball on Alan shearer's face, and he got a red card. I remember Cesc Fabregas throwing a pie at Sir Alex Ferguson. I have seen Franz Beckenbauer playing a world cup with a hand in the sling. These players had class, skill determination and desire to win, once Javier Mascherano stretched his body so much to keep the ball in play, that he tore his anus even sadly, believe me these players are a vanishing breed. I remember Javier Zanetti during his time at Inter Milan, now there was a fear for the Brazilian Adriano, who was playing at Inter Milan, now after his father was murdered , Javier Zanetti could go into a depression, and Javier Zanetti phoned and saw that he was aware w here Adriano was. Like a fatherly figure. Can you show a single footballer who would spend so much time on youngsters. When Manchester United were playing Arsenal, and Manchester United were given a penalty, by referee Mike Riley. And Ruud Van Nistelrooy missed the penalty. And Martin Keown jumped and booed Ruud Van Nistelroy for missing tat penalty

WHY IS THE WEST HAM UNITED AND SHEFFIELD UNITED GAMES A GRUDGE MATCH.?

For the past twelve years any match played between West Ham United and Sheffield United ae always going to be a grudge match, and it all started after the 2006/2007. season. Now after the 2006 world cup held in Germany two Argentinean footballers were wanted by Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, both were brought from the Brazilian club Corinthians. And the two were a striker called Carlos Tevez and a holding midfielder called Javier Mascherano. But sadly Carlos Tevez did not click right away he took time to settle at West Ham United, and that did not help the club in anyway. The club was standing at the very bottom of the English Premier League table, with a difference of ten points from safety for the Hammers and a total of nine games to be played , it was all dark and gloomy at Upton Park. But then wonder of wonders Carlos Tevez got up from his slumber and scored a lot of goals and the stand out goal was scored against Manchester United which saved the season for West Ham United. But then Sheffield United drew their match which they should have won with Wigan Athletic. But actually why was there anger between West Ham United and Sheffield Wednesday? The reason is that according to the F.A rules in England at that time and even now a footballer can not be the property of a third party like a agent or a company. So Sheffield United claimed that both Carlos Tevez were illegally brought from Corinthians and played illegally for West Ham United. Later on in a court case which said the deal for Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez was a illegal deal, and West Ham United were fined 15, fifteen Million pounds and was to pay another five million pounds in four years. Now the owner of West Ham United was a Icelander who made his. millions in the biscuit industry. Now in the year 2008 a big recession hit the world and banks collapsed Here the owner of Manchester United lost a lot of money in Iceland bank collapsing. The last straw was West Ham United lost to Sheffield United in a penalty shoot out, and after 46 six minutes Carlos Tevez left the field in anger and he later left for Manchester United, and Javier Mascherano joined Liverpool on loan but later he moved to Barcelona.

THE SPANISH TAX LAW IS MISUNDERSTOOD BUT PEOPLE GET CAUGHT HERE..

The report in THE DAILY MAIL said that Lionel Messi after found guilty of not paying his tax in Spain was fined 226,000 two hundred and twenty-six thousand pounds as fine. But he had made it very clear at a interview , the other day that he wanted to leave Spain and not Barcelona, as he was not happy with the Spanish tax law here. He wanted to leave in the year2017. So let us try and understand what really was this tax fraud case against Lionel Messi and his father Jorge Messi. It is very clear here that the tax fraud did not apply to his salary money . But here what happened was that these footballers make a lot of money from endorsements , from around the world. So the footballers have made say all this money in the U.S.A with a company say COCO COLA. Then the financial advisor had suggested here to Lionel Messi to invest it anywhere but in Spain. Now these people do listen and do so. But the Spanish tax law says that if you are paying your taxes in Spain then even that money got from any other country must be accounted in your taxes in Spain yearly. Many famous people have fallen prey to this misunderstood law. Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano, Xavi Alonso, Jose Mourinho, Raphael Nadal Diego Forlan even the princess of Spain. All have been to caught for this mistake.

THESE THREE FOOTBALLERS FROM LIVERPOOL TOOK A PAY CUT TO JOIN BARCELONA.

It is neither a shame or a crime for a footballer to have a desire to leave their club, and want to join up with the Spanish giants F.C ..Barcelona. Now everyone knows that Barcelona are a very powerful club in the world, and very good footballers are always welcome at Barcelona. Now there have been vey good footballers who wanted to leave Liverpool and to join up at Barcelona. All three of them took heavy pay cut just to move to Barcelona, and to fulfil their dreams. All three are from South American courtiers. 1) Javier Mascherano. Argentina. 2) Luis Suarez. Uruguay. 3) Philippe Coutinho. Brazil.

The Argentinean footballer Javier Mascherano , who is vastly experienced footballer with 141, one hundred and forty one caps for Argentina, and he has played for clubs Lik west Ham United, Liverpool and Barcelona as well. But now that he is 33, thirty three years old and has not played for month at Barcelona. Now his old club River Plate have come forward to let have a escape route, but they will only offer a sum of 3.5. three and a half million pounds. Will Barcelona take that money and save on his high weekly wages is to be seen.

PHILIPPE COUTINHO HAS SENT A TRANSFER LETTER O LIVERPOOL.

The Brazilian play maker Philippe Coutinho has now sent Liverpool a e mail requesting them to agree to a transfer to Barcelona. Whether Liverpool do agree to the le the Brazilian leave Liverpool is still to be found out. But the American owners of Liverpool have flatly denied that Philippe Coutinho is for sale at any price. There is no problem here Barcelona will look and get a better player. When Arsenal wanted to buy Luis Suarez from Liverpool, and Arsene wenger , offered to pay his buy out clause of Luis Suarez was just 40, forty million pounds, Arsenal were willing to pay a pound over the forty million pounds, that is 40, forty million plus a single pound , it was rejected and Mr Henry wanted to know what Arsenal were smoking? But Liverpool did sell Luis Suarez to Barcelona, but they also sold Javier Mascherano to Barcelona.

WILL BARCELONA MAKE IT A DOUBLE BUY?

The Spanish giants Barcelona have now completed the transfer of the Brazilian play maker Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool for a sum of 108 .8 million pounds. Even though Jurgen Klopp was not at all ready to sell him at any price , he told the press that Barcelona were only wasting their time and energy as well. But when these two giants Barcelona and Real Madrid come calling it is not easy to reject their offers. Now it looks like Barcelona are going to do a double in this summer transfer, they are keen to buy the French striker Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund in Germany. The German club are demanding a 100, hundred million pounds for him . So the Neymar money is now well spent as they have got two good footballers and mind you both are young with years of football left in them. Liverpool are not to keen to sell Philippe Coutinho , but these south American footballers just cant resist a move to Barcelona, take these players Luis Suarez and Javier Mascherano. But if Philippe Coutinho is sold to Barcelona for 108 or 120 million pounds then he will break the record of the costliest Liverpool player, who is Luis Suarez for 75, seventy five million pounds. But there is talk that Barcelona would give a player as well , Andre Gomes. as well.

But in Spain the culprit need not spend any time in jail at all ,all he needs to do is a pay up another fine set by the judge to have the case closed for good. But no violent crime should be involved here. Now he has paid the fine and the matters is closed and over. But he can still file a case against his financial adviser who mislead him and got him into mess and disgrace as well .

TEVEZ COULD MOVE TO BARCELONA.

The Argentinian striker Carlos Tevez could be on his way to Barcelona in January, with the spansh and Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic going the other way,. In an interview carlos Tevez said he was fed up with football and would play for only three years in Europe. And it was not only about money, he would love to go back to Argentina and complete his career at the club he started, Boco Juniors.

The move to Barcelona is tempting with team mates Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano, Millito there.

At the same time Manchester City has trouble as striker Craig Bellamy is on loan, and he does not want to come back. Adebayour wants to join Juventus, and Rogue Santacruz may join Everton. But at the same time Roberto Mancini is looking for strikers to replace them.

INTER MILAN WANT FABREGAS.

It is reported in the Daily Mail that as Inter Milan have missed out the hard working midfielder Javier Maschareano has moved the Barcelona from Liverpool, Inter Milan are now wanting to buy Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal for 28.5 million pounds. this is the money saved for the failed attempt to get Mascherano..

There is a another story that Maicon would be joining Real Madrid for 25.3 million pounds. and the Ghana footballer suli Muntari could go the opossite way for Fabregas. But Fabregas has made it very clear that he wil play for Arsenal this year and then Barcelona only will it be.

Maicon did not play for Real Madrid , so he is not club ties . So many papers are sure there will be a move between the two clubs.

DIRK KUYT WANTS TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL.

Dirk kuyt the Dutch footballer who plays his club football with Liverpool has asked to be sold to Inter Milan , the Italian giants for 13 million pounds. But the Liverpool coach Roy Hodgson is not at all listening to the transfer plea. He says that the Inter Milan president Massimo Morratti , and Rafael Benitez had signed an agreement that Rafael Benitez would not poach any Liverpool playerAs the Spaniard had been given a six million pound compensation, when he left Liverpool. Hodgson says that it has come very late in the transfer window, and Liverpool do not want the 13 million pounds, but we want the player Dirk Kuyt. And Liverpool do not want a player also o the move along with Javier Mascherano, who may be on his way to Barcelona.

But I would like to know as Roy Hodgson is reorted to try and poach Paul Konchensky from his old club Fulham. This is double standards Mr Roy Hodgson.

JAVIER MASCHERANO COULD JOIN BARCELONAA>

Javier Mascherano could very well join Barcelona. As Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has admitted that funds are tight as Maicon was not sold. Mascherano wanted to join his old manager Rafael Benitez at Inter Milan. Now Barcelona have the 35 or 40 million pounds as Fabregas decided to stay at Arsenal for a year.So even with money problem , cash is still there. And as Barcelona have told Aleksander Hlep that he can leave, he may be given as a player as well as cash for Mascherano. Liverpool are asking for about 25 million pounds for Mascherano. And to make things sweeter Mess i and mascherano are friends and Barcelona want him to replace Ya ya Toure.

JAVIER MASCHERANO HAS AGREED TO JOIN BARCELONA.

Javier Mascherano the Argentinan midfielder has now agreed to move to Barcelona either4 in the January window or in the summer transfer window. Javier Maschareno is a very hard working midfielder and falls in the class of Gilberto Dsilva and Claude Makalalle. They do hard work in the midfield , and also feed the forwards, and also are useful deffenders as well if required
Barcelona hhad made an offer to Liverpool to buy Mascherano, but it was rejected as Xavi Alonso the other midfielder was sold to real Madrid for 30 million pounds. But now Liverpool finds it self in big financial problems and they may sell him to Barcelona for a sum of 32 million pounds and his weekly ssalary will be 120,000 pounds. He should settle soon at Barcelona along with Messi and the other Spaniards and language should not be a problem as he speaks spanish.
