He returns from America shortly. Pre season training starts for Barca on the 19th of July, it starts on Monday for us.

Same here, hughes has pointed out many times that he feels it's important to get his team together as quick as possible.

But yes, that too.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

I dont see united as being a threat to us for this transfer. Now that they have signed owen i cant see them forking out 30 million to sign a 28 year old player when they now have two/three options upfront. Owen or Berbaflop (both late 20's) will be the focal point of their attack with Rooney able to play just behind or on the left or right in a 4-3-3. They wouldnt have signed Owen to not play him and if they were to sign Eto'o that would give them three strikers for one position. We are in a position where we can make Eto'o the highest paid player in the league for 5 years. I can't see them offering him a contract as lucrative as ours for the same duration. I'm not overly concerned about the milan clubs either. Inter seem to not be able to find a buyer for Ibrahimovic and have already signed Milito. AC is more likely but Luis Fabiano/Adebayor seem to be their major targets.

I'm sure Eto'o does care about champions league football however I also reckon after being treated like shit by barca that he wants a bit of loving, he wants to feel and know that he is appreciated and wanted. We are the team that have let it be known how much we value him, how good we think he is and how important he would be to our 'project'. If he looks at the players we have signed and attempting to sign like robinho, tevez and the failed kaka offer then he will understand that 'El CIty' are very serious in their aims and that we have the potential to be mixing it up with the champs league teams.

Heres hoping he comes, would be an immense signing on many levels.

Danny Sturridge could do with watching that before demanding silly wages... Thats how a young dedicated footballer should be... Not asking for ridiculous wages when you've scored six goals in your whole career...
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Currently, we are the only team in this. However, i do expect this to change as the deal wears on which is probably what The Catalan's want as we will probably end up paying part of the loyalty bonus. Inter are already up to there knees in strikers and MIlan are unattractive because of their age and lack of up and comers, but ultimately its the Italian league that is unattractive. The aging teams and lack of media coverage will not do players world cup hopes any favors, so the only other team is United. Make of that what you will.

The rags are not in this one, there is nothing to make of it. They have already added two attacking players. A third will see at least one spit their dummy out. Plus, this is Eto'os last chance of a mega money deal, if he was content he would stay at the European Champions. Manure cannot and will not offer what we can.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Yes, they added two attacking players but neither of them have the appeal that either Ronaldo or Tevez had. You saw the mixed reaction from their arrogant fans, Owen is a punch in the dark as to whether he will be succesful. Its obvious BaconFace is attempting to do one of his "Cantona" jobs on him, Berbatov is awful and a waste of time. So that only leaves Rooney and a couple of decent youngsters who will slot in for the other 30 games when Owen is injured, realistically they need a forward who can play often and well, Eto'o is the only accessible striker left. Fair enough they maybe can't offer the same money but they can offer champions league football.
