West Ham midfielder Javier Mascherano has been given special dispensation by
Fifa to join Liverpool from West Ham.
Under Fifa's rules, a footballer cannot play competitively for more than two
different clubs between 1 July and 30 June the following year.
Mascherano, 22, has already represented Corinthians and West Ham in that
time.
But Fifa said: "The Fifa single judge ruled that Javier Mascherano is
eligible to play in official matches with Liverpool with immediate effect."
Mascherano arrived at Upton Park with international team-mate Carlos Tevez
on 31 August.
But he has played only six minutes since the defeat at Tottenham on 22
October and had been desperate to leave the club. 作者: sasamacca 時間: 2007-1-31 23:24
