I think the bigger picture here looks good for us, whatever the outcome.

If you sit back and look at this situation from the outside, it's all about the Eto'o and Barcelona fighting over the loyalty payment whilst City remain quiet. The fact remains, everyone agrees we are the only realistic bidders for one of the best forwards in the world. Whatever the outcome of this, we are now consistently associated with the best players and this will only bode well for us in the future. Think about Torres' comments in this mornings papers. I expect he is not the only world class player looking at City's project with more than a passing interest. Whether or not this deal comes off, the message is out there that we are in competing for the best players in the world and those players who ignore us or reject us risk missing the boat.

I think we'll probably sign Eto'o. But if we don't, there will be others. Remember the market only officially opens tomorrow and goes on 'til the end of August. Plenty of time, plenty more fish in the sea.

Don't know of the credentials of spursmad, but remember what he said yesterday. 'there will be a few days of posturing, then he'll sign'.


What did he say mate? I must've missed that


Spursmad? Eto'o or Torres?

Spursmad said there will be a few days of posturing then he'll sign.

Last night going to bed i'd convinced myself it was 100% off. Now i'm 75% certain it's going through... ffs.. I swore to myself after Ronaldinho, Kaka etc that i wouldn't go through this again, and wait for the OS announcement. It's just addictive.. roll on Sept 1st.. shut the bastard window..


Im with you on that, my rate must be going through the roof!!
Balls to that. Am i the only one absolutely loving all this? Fuck me i stayed up way past midnight Jan 08 when we were signing Benjani. I remember being over the moon because we'd signed Emile Mpenza (a football manger legend). All the speculation with the very best players in the world is mint.

If we don't sign him....who cares. Nobody else is signing him. People can get their jibes in. it just makes it all that sweeter when we start competing on the pitch with the big boys.

did someone on shitesports (this is what i'm calling them from now on!) just say city didn't put a bid in for eto'o?(just caught a snippet might be wrong) if this is the case its all down
to eto'o's agent trying squeese barcelona for a new and improved contract using us as a leverage.

I think we would of denied it by now mate like we have done with Messi etc. :)

This is now all about who 'chucked' who first. It's difficult to see how Barca can save face now, other than give him what he wants? Would kike to know more Barca fans opinions.


I was a Barca fan for 90 minutes in May ..... do I count ?
Were'nt we all. But no, not this time mate.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

On A side note this thread is on record pacce, 406 pages Tevez is only at 857 after several months.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

I wonder if this Eto'o thing turns out to be a Robinho Mk. II or a Kaka Mk. II.

If the agent and Eto'o are really so pissed off at Barca then our chances of signing him would be quite decent. :)
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

I dont know why people are believing that no offer buy us has been made to Eto'o. Of course their has we have been speaking to him for over a week or two now, its basically amount the bonus payment. LOL at the people on the Barca forum saying HE LOVES BARCA AND WILL STAY. Ummmmm let me think......no
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Ian Payne is the snidest rag creep of them all.. he was PRACTICALLY choking back the tears when the Tevez story 'broke' a few Saturday's back.. I hope he's on air when/if both deals are done and dusted..
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

I've said that the deal is off but now it may be back on...

Apparently the deal that Barca have offered Eto'o is a 2 year deal on the SAME money he already was. He wasn't happy because they hadn't contacted him for a new contract until last night AND he wasn't in the highest bracket of earners at Barca, he STILL wouldn't be with this supposed contract offer!
