Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
We'll cop a load of shit as usual but as long as we are in with a shout with these kind of players and conducting our business in the right manner then we've nothing to worry about.

We've nothing to be ashamed of here. We've acted professionally on all levels. Unless you believe we should not even attempt to attract the best players because we don't belong in the big boys club.
That's not the problem. The problem is how everyone else will say its laughing stock material. Since when have the twats been reasonable about this sort of thing? We might not agree with it but by God we will hear it.

Do you want to lie and say I think it will happen to make you feel better City Die Hard?

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
Not true mate. There isn't the enmity between Football Clubs and the press in Spain. The Establishment manipulate the press, use the press, to further their own ends, and the press for the most part are complicit. Without wishing to raise the tone ( ;) ) I would say it has it's roots from the Fascist state under Franco. The Free Spanish Press is still a dream!

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
Course it might but this fella is one in the business. Make no mistake he's a rolls royce of a player. He's the icing on a cake which isn't fully baked though. If we get him then it's huge for so many reasons. I'm just not convinced it will.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
Barca are trying to force his arm, FFS. They are offering a contract that they think he won't sign. They are asking him to to turn down a huge improvement in his week to week wages and they are asking him to make an additional sacrifice in terms of his pending free agent status. Another two year contract with them would take him to the age of 30.

I think city will no doubt release a statement not long after the agent has his media parade

We made it sound that way with the Kaka saga.
Project said:GStar said:We're rapidly learning the hard way how these elite clubs play thier game.
Why on earth have we allowed this to leak again? If this is "all part of the PR plan" then Cook et al have dropped a bollock and should never have allowed all this shit... rumour, counter rumour, speculation and counter speculation all with us bearing the shitty end of the stick.
If this isn't part of the plan, then where's our statement confirming we've walked away from the deal?
It's just not that simple.

I agree Taylor; we might however release something before if we feel it suits our needs, in a damage limitation kind of way.
So I think the less we hear from our side the better.

This suggests to me that Barca really don't want him. I think he'll still come to us.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

If Eto'o is staying at Barca we'll get in first
if there's no decision we'll keep quite

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
its Barca that hold the cards
they have 2 options - take 30mil euros from us for him now and pay him 13 mil loyalty bonus
result Barca get 17 mil euros
or
dont pay the 13 mil
result Barca keep a player who already has fallen out with the management and will be resentful and probably useless all year - plus lose him in 12 months for no fee
so the question is - do Barca feel he is worth losing 17million for 1 year of service
