City End Eto Chase - Official

Its the first one Spursmad has got wrong.
Apart from the 'Tevez is a done deal', 'lescott is a done deal' and 'Terry handed in a transfer request'. If you dont count those three then yeah, its the first one he got wrong
 
What is all this 'great to see us not being messed around stuff as we called it off'?

Why are people so keen to swallow the spin?

We've obviously already been dicked around for several weeks, the whole affair got into the public arena and, if the player is the greedy cnut that people are now claiming and just wanted some interest to get a new contract, then, by that reasoning, he is the one who has got what he wanted and City have got nothing other than another transfer target who has said he isn't interested.

Now, personally I don't care whether people turn City down or not. I think they should have the ambition to go for people and anyone in the press or in the ranks of fans of other clubs who take the piss over it is a clown imo.

However, City, Cook, Hughes, whoever would have cut their left bollock off to get Etoo. They have obviously been pandering to the bloke for some time. So don't mistake all this 'City end interest' stuff for anything other than PR to try to avoid the 'City given brush off again' headlines.

If Etoo phoned up tomorrow and said 'I'll sign for what you are offering they'd be on a plane to Barca tomorrow. And rightly so.

It's all spin. Just like the 'we won't pay over the odds' spin that they come out with.

Of course we fucking will. That's the way of the world when you are loaded. Don't pretend otherwise.
 
Won't be losing sleep over Eto'o. We just move on.

I think he will join the rags.

You have the ability to start an argument in an empty room. Of course it's PR, what we are saying is that ii's good PR, City can't afford to have the bad PR we had after the Kaka deal went tits up. Nobody is pretending.

Eto'o didn't get anything out of this, he hasn't been talking to Barcelona so right now he's fucked unless someone else comes in for him - at a lesser deal than we had offered
 
Why announce it at 9pm on a Friday????

Theres more to this than meets the eye me thinks.
Plan B will be revealed tommorow.
