Craig Bellamy > Eto'o.

Present club releases statement saying we have made unbelivable offer imposssible for player to turn down. Barca get the moral victory for keeping player despite silly offer and impossible odds.
Player ends up staying till the end of the season (next in this case). Current club looks good for standing up to the upstarts. Fans forgive players for not going to a "smaller club" Player gets massive move and stacks of cash anyway.
We end up looking like complete tools. For fucks sake................

It's not anywhere near failed yet, just wait to see what happens first.

If Barca don't sell Eto'o to us then they can't get Villa. Real Madrid have apparently dropped out of the running for Villa, focusing on Benzema, and if they don't get him, then Alonso, then their big spending is apparently done for the summer.
This leaves Villa available. Forget Valencia's 'we won't sell' line, it's well known that they have to. I know he's said he won't leave Spain but it could come down to us being the only bidder and Valencia telling him that he has to leave for the good of the club.

First thing it is sourced from Goal.com which we all know always tells the truth (yeah right).
Number two if you were planning to hold a press conference why tell everyone what the information your going to provide in the press conference is before you have the press conference, it makes no sense.
Number 3 if and this is a BIG if any part of that report is true, do you really want a player at city who is willing to stay at a club just to screw up their plans cos it doesnt suit him. Now I know we all dont think we are big enough to be turning players down yet but if he is willing to do that to barca what do you think hed be prepared to do to us.
I still dont think we will get him but its the silence coming out of both clubs and what is not being said that i find the most intriguing.
