Basile tells Tevez and Mascherano to move on (6 Oct 2006 16:26 GMT)
Argentina coach Alfio Basile has told Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano to leave West Ham for the sake of their careers. Both players have struggled for form since joining the Hammers in a shock deadline-day move from Brazilian club Corinthians at the end of August.
The Hammers have failed to win since their arrival, and Basile claims the two young players - stars for Argentina during the summer World Cup - are simply going through the motions in the Premiership.
"I hope both of them leave that club as soon as possible," he told TyC Sports. "I think they are half-hearted and I'm really worried about that. They play as if they are unenthusiastic. I hope for God's sake that Mascherano can go to Juventus as it has been said, even if he has to play in the second division (in Italy). And Tevez can play in any position in the attacking line, but not as a left-winger like he is currently playing."
