I'm in love with Palermo now.

Me too. It's ******* brilliant watching this team **** up at every corner. I wonder what Tevez and Mascherano must be thinking. They could of gone to at least a half decent club but nope they're at a racist, xenophobic club with disillusions of granduer.

damn after the 2 big signings west ham have been crap

did anyone actually expect for teves and mascherano to start performing from the get go?? They need time to adapt, it's unfortunate though that they have to suffer like this..

I think its the other way round. West Ham were doing OK until they "aquired" Tevez and Mascherano. The players themselves are probably not the problem, its the baggage that they brought with them which has resulted in negative speculation regarding the future of the club. This has obviously destabilised the atmosphere that existed at the club prior to those two arriving.

When you hear that one of the biggest knobs at MSI has said that they are only interested in West Ham PURELY for the "real estate", then this has got to be a massive worry for all at West Ham. If this mob do take over, and Brown sells out, they could very likely disband the club and sell off its ground to property developers. With that in mind, I can understand why the Hammers are in meltdown right now.

maybe for the reasons that you have mentioned. the minute everything came out, uncertantity may have been created on the players mind and rather than leaving out of the pitch, they have taken it into it.

Seems they're a bit unsettled. And this year, with the 2 big signings, the pressure went up a notch and players dont look like they were too prepared to that. Last season as long as they stayed up everything would be accepted. That's not the case anymore.

They didn't make a diffence at Corinthians this season anyway. They were last.

It's not exactly like that. If not for those 2 the team would be in an even worse position. The thing is their number 9 got injured (Nilmar) and they had 2 forwards to play only, Tevez and Rafael Moura. Add that to the lack of a good goalkeeper, a terrible defense and an even worse coach and there you go. When a team is in crisis, it's doesnt depend on one player to take them out of it. He needs help, which he lacked. Not to mention that Tevez bagged 3-4 goals in 6 matches or so after coming back from the WC, before leaving.

so then what the hell is with all the hype over these two guys :|?
They were phenominal in the World Cup and are obviously brimming with talent. Maybe West Ham just isnt right for them?

Tevez was very good against Serbia and Netherlands. Apart from that he looked fairly decent at most.

They arent overrated, they are the real deal.

They just need time.

I believe that west ham can improve a lot.

Its a long season.

Every player needs time to adjust to a new system and team. Look at Sheva and ballack. It is just a shame that they happen to arrive and West ham go on a loosing streak.
