West Ham United

On signing deadline day, they pulled off one of the biggest coups in football. Ever.
The permanent transfer of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano, both 22 and both Argentinian Internationals, to West Ham from Brazilian side Corinthians is a massive deal; they beat out the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, etc...big time champions league players with LOTS of money, for their services.
Trying to put it in perspective for the Americans, it's like if Lebron James asked to be traded to Utah.
