This then Tevez then Terry, imo.
I'd put Terry in front of Tevez.
I'd love Eto'o here, a really huge signing, Terry might bring some solidity at the back, but I'm not convinced, and we have SWP who can offer the same as Tevez, I just think he is after the Argentine to build a squad with two good players in each position in case of injury.
Just look how screwed we were when SWP and Bellers got injured in Hamburg
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

I think this is a new story on El Mundo Deportivo (google translation):

Barca agree to sell Eto'o by 25'5 'kg'

Barca is willing to cut a couple of million to the City to raise the offer to 'Samu'

Futbol Club Barcelona is willing to facilitate what may exit of Samuel Eto'o and we think the yield reached agreement in principle with Manchester City for the transfer of the Cameroonian striker for 27 million fixed at 3 variables and leave the 25'5 'kg' in the first instance in writing and offered the whole UK, with the aim that the City has the greatest economic margin to convince Eto'o. The boat is aware that its future relationship with the striker still team Premier would link the principal money, and therefore seek 'help' as possible to your partner to finish with a convincing Samuel offer superior to which he has done.

Five years to ten million net is the proposal made by the Manchester City striker in his day, but neither is "stratospheric" supply-described as the president of the culé, Joan Laporta, the Cameroonian altered. In principle, the priority for Eto'o if you have to change of scenery is to sign for any team to dispute the Champions next season and the City did not play. If ensuring the highest being in competition, 'Samu' it would accept an offer similar or even lower, but if it comes from a club that trains as Mark Hughes, with a view to lure big sporting environment of the player, then need another kind of motivation, and in this case would be economic.

There is no other bid

The problem, in addition to the signing bonus he wants Eto'o to be receivable free of the contract in June next year, is that apart from the formal offer from Manchester City no other club that has been addressed formally put Barça an amount on the table. Eto'o was much talk during the dinner that kept Joan Laporta and Massimo Moratti, president of Inter Milan, for about a month, and during the visit made shortly after Ernesto Bronzetti, an intermediary who typically work with Milan, a Can Barça, but the thing was there and there has been no formal proposal to the club azulgrana.

All yield

So the situation is not ideal for everyone (the player would have no problems running at a big European club but none of these has made an offer for face and eyes to Barça, Barça, while the club is satisfied with what gives the City but is faced with opposition from the player) the only solution is that both give in some way. Barça would cut its claim in a couple of million euros that would serve to increase the City's proposal to Eto'o, the Cameroonian striker should reconsider its position by the set of chips English. In fact, his representative Josep Maria Mesalles, and said last Tuesday that were not closed to that possibility. The opposite would be to maintain a tension for the next season that would not benefit either the club or the player

So in short, barca lower their fee city stup up money on loyalty bonus, barca not had any other formal offers. Eto'o would prefer CL but would sacrafice that for a big financial contract.

Oh and he wants to eat English chips;)
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

That is quite a negative piece on our behalf. It looks as though as it is getting closer to completion he does not sound thrilled to be joining.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Do you think anyone would be thrilled at leaving Barcelona?
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

He doesn't have to be thrilled to be joining. I don't care as long as he scores goals.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Do you guys honestly think Robinho was thrilled in joining? Look how happy he is now.

Blues step up Eto'o efforts
July 04, 2009

BARCELONA are finally ready to smooth the path for Samuel Eto'o to join City.

Joan Laporta, Barca's president, has indicated he is willing to show flexibility over the compensation wrangle at the heart of the Eto'o saga.

The Blues have already agreed a £25m fee with the Catalan giants to buy the striker.

But the sticking point has been a bonus clause in Eto'o's contract which entitles him to compensation if Barca sell him before his contract expires in 12 months' time.

Laporta is hopeful that a deal can be done to help Barca finance moves for Valencia striker David Villa - a one-time City target - and Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano.

And the president has indicated to sources in Spain that he may be ready to agree a pay-off to Eto'o to allow the move to Manchester to go through - or to renegotiate the transfer fee so that part of City's £25m offer goes to the striker.

The 28-year-old Cameroon international hit 36 goals for Barca last season, including the opener as they beat United 2-0 in Rome to lift the Champions League trophy two months ago.

He was understood to have been reluctant to join City initially, because of their lack of Champions League football next season.

But the Blues have the financial backing to make him one of the world's best-paid footballers, although the club have dismissed suggestions that he would earn £250,000 a week at Eastlands.

Patient

City boss Mark Hughes has already warned this week that he may have to be patient to get the stars he wants this summer.

A £30m bid for John Terry was rejected by Chelsea late on Thursday night as Hughes sought to add to the signings of Gareth Barry from Aston Villa and Roque Sants Cruz from Blackburn.

Chelsea's public knock-back over Terry has done little to help their relations with City, with the two clubs unable to agree a fee over out-of-contract striker Daniel Sturridge, who signed a four-year deal with the London club yesterday. City officially released the 19-year-old striker on Tuesday after he rejected a new deal but are entitled to compensation because of his age.

The 19-year-old's fee will now be settled by a tribunal.

Hughes is hoping to bolster his front line further by sealing a deal for Argentinian striker Carlos Tevez over the next few days.

The Blues boss has an eye on completing the signing of the former United man while his players are in Germany at a pre-season training camp.

One striker who looks less likely to figure in Hughes' plans for next season is Felipe Caicedo.

The Ecuadorian forward, who still has three seasons to run on his contract at Eastlands, has indicated that he would be interested in a move to Sporting Lisbon if he is not going to be getting regular games with the Blues.

The 20-year-old, a £5.2m signing from Swiss club Basel in January 2008, has also been interesting West Ham.

Barca wont get Mascherano, and Villa may not leave Valencia.

I can't see Barca letting Eto'o go without bringing in another striker

According to El mundo this morning Villa is getting very close to a move, if they dont they will move for Forlan. They want eto'o out.
