think this is new
Samuel Eto' or centered yesterday the attention, and also the worries, of the sports leaders of the FC Barcelona, obsessed by giving him a final solution to the situation of the Cameroonian one. The offering of the Manchester City, advanced in exclusive by MD and catalogued of "brutal and very difficult to reject" by Joan Laporta, was the cause of a tense day for Txiki Begiristain and also for Josep Maria Mesalles, agent of the Cameroonian one.
It was Mesalles who did yesterday the first movement in the departure of chess that are resolving both parts. After seeing in different newspapers the words of the president and to analyze the situation in which remained his represented, the agent called a press conference for this very day.
In that court appearance, Mesalles anticipates to explain the position of Eto' or. On the one hand, to the footballer he has not liked the situation in which has remained after confirming Laporta the offering of the City. The 'nine' it considers that has him itself placed in the trigger. If it accepted it, fears to be catalogued of 'mercenary' since the City has few sports aspirations and would give the image to seek only to be the better paid footballer of the world. And if it does not it accept, knows that again there will be who accuse him to be castled seeking to remain free of contract the next year for, thus, to charge a succulent cousin of transfer. Again -it considers- would remain as a 'mercenary'. In any case, Samuel is not for the work to go to the City and thus its representative will confirm him today.
Mesalles also he anticipates to announce the decision of Eto' or to be presented July 20 in the first training of the team, in an unmistakable sample that he desires to continue playing in the Barça and in which, since the club, many qualify as a clear pulse to Laporta, who the door bound for the Manchester opened him City.
Pep, by middle
Mesalles also desires to launch a clear message: wants that the Barça be clarified. And the fact is that, according to the agent, the club communicated him at the beginning of June that Pep piggy bank did not include Samuel and that, therefore, the best was that was sought team. According to Mesalles, that not them block given that the coach never transmitted face to face to the 'nine' that does not he count on him and, they assure, Pep said goodbye to Eto' or with the phrase "to July 20". For which seems, the figure of Pep in the 'case Eto' or' is going to begin to be in the center of the polemics.
Besides, since the environment of the Cameroonian one the continuous interventions are used of Laporta in which espresso its desire that Samuel renew for the Barça despite be clearly in the market.
Expert of the intentions of Mesalles to call a press conference for today, in the club azulgrana was analyzed yesterday late which was the best tactic to continue. In the fund, is a matter of a strategic battle and the two parts try to play their tricks to remain possible the best before the 'contrary', the associates and the public opinion and, in transit, to remove the greater slice.
In this context, the FC Barcelona caused knew past the nine at night that there was determined to present an offering of renewal to Eto' or of two years more, aside from the one that already has. That is to say, a proposal until 2012 in which the club maintains him the same one puts on file that has at present. Now Samuel should value if the offering is an invitation to continue -as maintains the club- or to accept it not and to be gone, with the risk to remain like the 'bad' of the movie. It has been able to know MD, the proposal does not seduce him too much. Today, at least, Mesalles, that knew the offering of renewal of the club by SMS, will clarify some doubt
