Saturday West Ham Gossip

The Sun that FIFA have not received a request to investigate the transfer of Carlos Tevez. They say a FIFA spokesman has said,

"We’ve not received any formal request from West Ham or anyone else in this matter. Until we get something official, there’s nothing we can do."

The Sun also claim that John Pantsil missed West Ham's pre-season tour of Austria because he destroyed his passport by leaving it in his trousers when they went through the washing machine.

Apparently The Daily Telegraph (but not the online version) has a story that West Ham will splash out £26m on Gudjohnsen, Mancini (Roma) and Dyer.
