Both Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano were brought to the club by Iranian businessman Kia Joorabchian, the man's who's takeover bid never took of the ground and there is speculation that he may move both players in January.
Pardew said yesterday, “They're owned by the takeover that didn't happen and that might be a problem but, as far as I'm concerned, both players will be treated exactly the same and I hope they start to grow here quicker than they have done in the previous period.
