Irons hammer out brilliant Zarate terms

|

zarate actionWest Ham have agreed an excellent financial deal following Mauro Zarate’s switch to Queens Park Rangers.

With the player in great demand from Premier League, La Liga and Serie A clubs, we have been able to negotiate a top dollar package from the Hoops.

ClaretandHugh understands that Rangers have agreed to pay the whole of Zarate’s £40k a week wages over the six months he will be at the club and the Hammers have also agreed a loan fee in addition.

That is believed to be in or around £500,000 with the deal being boosted by late interest from Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew.

A Hammers source said: “The deal is done and both sides are happy. It should be an interesting six months for Rangers and us.”

    A great deal financially but who would you rather have as your attacking midfielder option for the next month: Zarate or Nolan?

    Our manager seems unable to manage and get the best out of creative players: Vaz Te was great when he first joined us (as was Valencia), Morrison and Zarate just want to escape him now.

  • Was talking purely financial Saffron. Have written several times i’d sooner have kept him
