Something was obviously dodgy about the sale, these 2 players are world class internationals with world cup experience, and they go to a team who regularly struggle to survive relegation?
If their previous club had chose to sell to a better side then not only would they have got at least £15million per player rather than that for the both of them but both players would also get to display their talents on the stage they deserve to e.g Champions League.
In conclusion they should have signed for Manchester United who was showing major interest in the pair and now Rossi has gone on loan need a striker which they haven't got.

Well. There's rumours that West Ham are only keeping them warm for a year, until a big club buys them for better money. I heard that a group called MTI (Maybe MSI... Media Sports Investments) have ties with West Ham and Corinthians. It's definitely dodgy.

They signed thru Media Sports Investment, a London based company that owned the 2 players rights when they were in Brazil. Smart move Pardew.

Yes it is and no it's not dodgy, Tevez and Mascherano were contracted to MSI who own Corinthians and if thats dodgy. Then PSV and Ronaldo must be dodgy, PSG and Ronaldinho must be dodgy. But no nothing about them in the past. Plus, we must have had a good 50-75 million spare from sellings in the past.

Contractual agreement between MSI and West Ham.

Well the fact that he had a clause in his contract too be sold for nothing less then £49 million. I have been told that it is to do with the media company that sponsor him. They have a relationship with the WestHam chairman. That was the only reason he went to Westham.

Kia Joorabchian, the ex-owner of Corinthians, is trying to keep them (Tevez and Mascherano) visible to the other teams in Europe.
The MSI group has close relation with Chelsea's Abramovich, who will try to buy them both in next season.

There was this company, MSI, who got the rights of Tevez and Mascherano, bot as I know they had strengh bonds with Abramovich. I don't know how, but maybe they go to Hammers because there was no space in Chelsea squad, and both of them, in the future, will go to play with the Blues.
