Official - City end interest in Eto'o [merged]

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Ronaldinho-City-Milan saga springs to mind. Eto's camp is just playing Ronaldinho's role today.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Can't read all posts again but my understanding is that Eto'o wants Barca to come out and admit they have agreed to sell him to City - thus probably activating a substantial loyalty bonus for the player; whilst Barca want Eto'o to say he wants to go - thus saving them the reportedly huge bonus payment. To save face with the fans Barca also offer a further 2 year contract on the same terms; significantly less than he would earn with City; and they know he is driven by money.

Meanwhile City have to:

1. Sit tight and hope the posturing reaches a speedy conclusion one way or another
2. City offer to negotiate pating part of the bonus
3. Walk away and pursue other targets

Certainly the agent has not ruled out a move. Is that it?

And what would you do/should City do?
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

It looks like he has because his agent has come out with a new story that Barca offered him a new 2 year contract by text or email at midnight. He also said that Eto'o wanted to stay but if Barca want him to leave and they have an agreement with us then "an agreement shouldn't be too hard to agree".
