No news is good news.
Actually, no news is no news. Him signing is good news.
Technically yes, but in this case not really.
Eto'o wants his payment before he leaves. City are not stupid enough to let him run his contract down by staying at Barca over a few million quid. £13m is worth about 50p to our owners and Eto'o is worth so much more than an extra £13m.
We will sit this out, until the time comes when Barca eith pay up and we get him, or they refuse to pay and he tells us he will stay at Barca. At which point, expect a revised transfer bid from City in the region of, i don't know, £13m more than the previous one.
If Eto'o didn't want to come to City, he would have said so. The fact he is waiting for his payment from barca means he is willing to come to us, City WILL NOT let this deal die over a stupid loyalty payment that is a fact.
If the only thing holding the deal up is the payment, he will come to City. The only problem is if they is another issue we don't know about then it isn't so simple
