Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
If Barca get Villa its excellent news for us. They could only fund a deal for him (and gurantee him starting every week) by selling Eto.
People might not want to hear it but the main thing in our favour with eto is the amount of money he wants being out of contract end of next season. When it comes down to it we are probably the only club willing to pay the wages he is wanting - this summer at least.
I still think the risk with this deal is him wanting to see out his contract and get an even better deal at the end of next season.
Its risky though playing that game at his age, what if he gets injured badly....
