Callieri “100 pc” not a Tevez ‘third party’ replay

|

Jonathon Callieri will arrive for his season-long loan at the club on Monday.

ClaretandHugh was told tonight the player was on his way to the UK over the weekend but will obviously not be ready to face Chlsea – who themselves were interested in the 22 year old in the winter, scouting him on several occasions.

The super skilled player was also a target for  Arsenal and Liverpool last winter but Callieri decided to stay where he was with Boca Juniors.

Landing Callieri is a real coup for the Hammers who tonight denied stories the player was owned by a third party declaring: “It’s ts just a loan, so 100 per cent above board.

“Manchester City have loaned goalkeeper Wilfredo Caballero from the same club ehich is trading in players, but it is perfectly legitimate  for clubs to do that.

We know that people have made the case that it’s the same as the Carlos Tevez scenario. It’s not because Tevez was a permanent deal and a third party controlled the sale etc.”

    These player are all over South America it is the form of Slavery,families do a deal when they are young so they can put food on the table,
    Non of the other clubs were put off by the situation,
    He plays we pay when the season is over he goes back to his owners until they get there ransom,
    Which will be a lot more then we will pay,

    Something very suspicious going on here. 1 I have heard calleri referred to as “the new Tevez” but I think this was because of his playing ability and not for any other reason. 2 we seem to have signed an imposter called callieri not calleri who is the player we wanted.

      Well, this IS Claret & Hugh – half the enjoyment is spotting the mis-spellings and grammatical errors. Bit like shooting fish in a barrel, though.

      • essexclarets says:

        This is a fan site not a spelling test, who gives a t0ss if words are spelt wrong?

    I’m sure this will give some fans sleepless nights.Reading lots of different bullsh1t on it from various places & thinking they now have all the facts.Mass hysteria will break out & underwear will need to be changed haha 😀

  • DOBEYMICK says:

    If he turns out to be as good as they say is what is the possibility of signing him on a permanent deal?

  • Stan The Man says:
