West Ham Want To Keep Argentinians

Alan Pardew has been quick to insist he is keen to keep Tevez at Upton Park after speculation that Tevez' anger at being substituted on Saturday would hasten his departure. The West Ham manager said yesterday,

"Carlos is a great player. He is just starting to get to grips with what The Premiership is all about. It would be nice if we could keep that class of player at the club because that's the kind of players we want to bring in to improve the club.

If we can keep him and Javier Mascherano then we are going to get the best out of them and it will benefit us next season."
