Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
I wouldn't feel let down if Eto'o didn't sign for us as that's his choice & at the end of the day you have to respect that, him signing for Utd though would hurt like fcuk.
If he doesn't sign for us then i hope he stays at Barcelona.
Daz Bes said:Really! I can honestly say that I wouldn't look at it like that. If we didn't sign either Tevez or Eto'o then yes, i'd be gutted but if Eto'o says no then so be it, move on. He is a great player without doubt but lets not be held to ransom, he either wants to join City or not.bluemoon32 said:Like everyone else, i'd be gutted if Eto'o signed for the rags, would be a huge kick in the bollocks.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
It is rare to pay fees upfront and I am certain RM will also be paying over the entire contract, obviously we paid them £33m (ish) for Robbie upfront and now they sign players on 5 year deals giving them the ability to spend the 33m upfront and an overall spending power of £165m (33*5)....how much have they "spent" this summer? Obviously they need to worry about the future payments but that has never struck me as something that concerns spanish football.
Now I am not sure of the terms of the Eto'o deal but Barca would probably be able to negotiate the Eto'o fee all upfront to give them an increased spending power...this may prove to be the key to the loyality payment issue....we pay upfront they drip feed him his payment over his 5year deal

Andy Dunn wrote the Eto'o-United story.
No, he called Rob Beasley bitter for the "Question John Terry must answer" piece.svennis pennis said:It's not even up for discussion. Christ, Custis has just been on ssn doing the back pages and called the journalist who wrote it bitter.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
i just think the article is speculating, as people have said before it doesnt mention the rags ahve actually made an approach just that etoo would be happy to go for less money. the story probably came from the quotes that eto'o would rather have champions league football with notw putting there owt twist on it. still confident about him comin to us the and hope it gets sorted with in the next week or so

I thought the rags had a policy of not spending big money on players over 26

They do have a policy that is why this is a non-starter

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
This ^^^^^^ its a load of fuckin shite and none of the rag supporters even want him at that price. How would that fat twat rooney react or Wio to Eto'o coming in and being the highest paid player?
