Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

no doubt he will be coming to city. it all points to him leaving and the conference was all about saving face, no grab the money and come and earn it

this is exactly what people said when kaka stated; "if the club want to sell me, i'll go."
so i'm trying not to get my hopes up. but my god what a signing it'd be.

more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing:

Samuel Eto'o's agent hits out at Barcelona and is ready to talk to Manchester City about £25m move
Last updated at 11:06 AM on 30th June 2009

Samuel Eto'o's agent has paved the way for the striker's move to Manchester City after hitting out at Barcelona's handling of the summer transfer wrangle.
Josep Maria Mesalles, the Cameroon star's representative, today said Eto'o was happy to stay at the Nou Camp but would not stand in the way if the European champions wanted to cash in.

I get the impression our end is done. We have no need to wade in here. Just a shame they are airing their dirty laundry in public.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Like I said this morning - I think the bit that is pissing us all off is the silence from the club - If we haven't made a bid, then surely they would say so - If we have and it's been rejected by Barca or Eto'o in the first instance, then surely they would say so - which can only mean we have made a bid and it's been accepted by both parties.

But either there are no issues at all or if there are, then we must feel they are not too big to get them out of the way. And if they are too big then surely we would say so - unless this is anaother Kaka fiasco in the making and we will be made to look mugs again.

But let's understand one thing Cook and co know what the whole world is saying, so surely it's getting a little late in the day now to say we've cocked up again - I think that this deal is still very doable, because if it goes wrong I can see Cook getting his balls chopped off as well as his hands.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Best possible result for us. The comments of the agent- apparent finger-pointing, accusations of disrespect, club undervaluing a major star, desultory contract offer- all augur the move.

This might yet have a short while to run, but all signs point to a brilliant coup from City.
