Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
The Sun
SAMUEL ETO'O could still sign for Manchester City this summer - but his future remains uncertain.
The Barcelona hitman's agent Jose Maria Mesalles called a press conference today to clear up speculation on his future.
But Mesalles caused confusion by first claiming Eto'o wanted to remain at the Nou Camp.
He then insisted Eto'o would be open to a move to City, if a deal could be agreed.
Mesalles said: "The player wants to stay and complete the last year of his contract.
"If Barca don't want him they should say so, so we can pursue the player's future in a professional manner.
"The club said coach Pep Guardiola did not want him. Guardiola has not told the player he is not required.
"If they have a serious offer from Man City and if they want to continue with this negotiation we could be interested.
"We haven't spoken to City but if Barca have reached an agreement it shouldn't be that difficult to reach a deal."

What did he say mate? I must've missed that

If you sit back and look at this situation from the outside, it's all about the Eto'o and Barcelona fighting over the loyalty payment whilst City remain quiet. The fact remains, everyone agrees we are the only realistic bidders for one of the best forwards in the world. Whatever the outcome of this, we are now consistently associated with the best players and this will only bode well for us in the future. Think about Torres' comments in this mornings papers. I expect he is not the only world class player looking at City's project with more than a passing interest. Whether or not this deal comes off, the message is out there that we are in competing for the best players in the world and those players who ignore us or reject us risk missing the boat.
I think we'll probably sign Eto'o. But if we don't, there will be others. Remember the market only officially opens tomorrow and goes on 'til the end of August. Plenty of time, plenty more fish in the sea.
Don't know of the credentials of spursmad, but remember what he said yesterday. 'there will be a few days of posturing, then he'll sign'.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
That could be done by midday 2moro
ReVoRolla said:i dont think this is happening at all, cos there has been any confirmation or denial from City that i've seen or heard. All of it has come from Barca.
Either City are thinking, keep quiet and dont get dragged into the farce officially or a secret deal has already been done.
Its all a big circus we can do without.
Signing Tevez will be nice, quiet and no fuss, how it should be.

It's looking like Barca are going to look bad in all of this.
