Talk:Javier Mascherano

message: someone keeps editing this, quite probably the same deranged man.u fan - claiming that despite reports he will sign for man u later (unsourced) and than man u and arsenal are 'bigger and better clubs' than w.ham (well, yes - but that doesn't belong on wikipedia).
This has been altered by a Man U fan who was messing about.  Mascherano still plays for Corinthians.  (25th May)
THis player was known for excessive cheating techniques such as stepping on the achilles of opposing players. He received 7 yellow flags for this technique so far throughout the World Cup in 2006.
Can someone edit Mascherano's playing position to center-back? He's been playing there for almost a year for Barcelona and several times has displaced a healthy Pique or Puyol. He almost never plays Defensive Midfielder for Barcelona.

message: in the article it says there is no chance of him ever signing for manchester united, why, espescially if they have already made a bid rejected
as a west ham fan, I find a lot of people's jealosy interesting. It's not that often that our club has a chance to dominate the headlines, yet the other's (Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool) fans seem to get easily intimidated by us. Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano are both top class players, and I'm happy to just enjoy watching them for the rest of season... not knowing how long they will stay.

thread_title:  why not 

message: There seems to be some confusion over which clubs he actually belongs to, so we should reach some sort of consensus (although I imagine the FA will make all of this discussion moot).
So here's what I understand to be the inarguable facts in the case:
* Mascherano has agreed to terms with Liverpool.
* Liverpool has agreed to terms with West Ham (or whatever consortium that owns the contract).
* FIFA approved the transaction.
* The FA hasn't approved it yet, but the argument isn't over whether Mascherano can go to Liverpool, but whether he can play for Liverpool this season.
As a result:
* Mascherano, having signed a FIFA-approved contract with Liverpool, is no longer a West Ham player.
* Mascherano is officially a Liverpool player, with FIFA, Liverpool and West Ham having agreed to the deal.
* However, it is not a certainty that he can actually play for Liverpool.
Is the above correct? --Ytny 19:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: In Argentina, a country with a big percentage of Italian lastnames, many are aware of the Italian pronunciation and is the former, but many also the later. Given the duality, the proper (Italian) pronunciation should (could) be used. --Mariano(t/c) 17:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

text: That is correct. I see no problem with changing it to reflect the Argentinean pronuciacion which is "Mas-tcher-ano". The Italian pronunciation, (Italian origin of the name), is indeed "Mas-keh-rano".So you could say that both are technically correct as Mariano has indicated. Or you could inseret both in the article. -- Alexf(t/c) 16:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I have now added both the Argentine pronunciation, where the the s actually proncounced as a glottal stop /ʔ/, and the standard Spanish pronunciation. I don't really see the point of having the Italian pronunciation of the name. Aikclaes (talk) In the local pronunciation, the s is not pronounced as a glottal stop but rather as a voiceless glottal fricative (see Wikipedia article for Rioplatense Spanish).95.172.68.155 (talk) 14:48, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

text: Incidentally, I have actually heard people pronounce those names in the German way, e.g. Christopher Hitchens (at least for Kissinger). Stephen MUFC (talk) 20:13, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: You summarized the event well, but didn't provide any useful information.  Referee controversy is part of the game, and in this match something happened that has been talk about, and as such is relevant.  Please change the article to reflect this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.90.59.54 (talk) 10:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Also is the operative word here. The club lists him as a midfielder. There's no question that he has been used a defender, but that does not make him one exclusively. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:47, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello all I was trying to look at Javier career statistics section to give it more details but i couldn't since lack of sources online for any appearances before moving to Europe,but what i could find while researching  his appearances in River plate and Corinthians are a big mess... 
how come he didn't have any continental appearances for both...while he did for sure even according to his official website== http://www.javier14mascherano.com/en/biography/ ..
then again ,I know  there is a lack of sources here..but to assume he didn't make any appearances for River plate or Corinthians for cups?? (add Paulista for corinthians) for corinthians in over 4 years seem isn't correct.. 
maybe we should remove both river and corinthians from the career statistics section due to lack of sources and leave it only in his bio as in Adriano barca's player . 
if someone can provide sources for those 4 years it would be great otherwise what do you think guys ?
