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

Before, I would say.

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.

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.

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

Anyone can see that they are fucking bluffing each other. Eto is saying he won't walk without the loyalty payment, Barca are saying that's fine, come and waive your free transfer status for another season.

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
