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

[Kirkstall Blue]

Heres an idea lets stop making completely ridiculous bids for players who are out of our reach ............Why would a current Champions League Winner want to leave Barcelona to go to a team who couldnt finish above Fulham ? .....Trying to run before we can walk imo , "marquee" signings are in essence the icing on the cake to my mind , lets sign top quality by all means and well soon be pushing the top 5/6 places but World Superstars ? not just yet eh ...

I have no idea why we were in for him any way, seems odd to me.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

as a matter of curiosity who does everyone want instead of eto'o?

for me I would like to see us go for Fabiano

Roque Santa Cruz. A striker that wants to be here. Play him alongside Robinho and Tevez and I will be more than happy. People need to remember that its not just about the players who we will sign but the ones we have. RSC wants to be here and busted a gut to get his move. Il support him ta.

agreed svennis

Thank fuck for that. I want some one to wear that shirt with pride. Ffs sign me up cook...ill play for free and the fans will adore me. In my dreams..if only..the jack daniels talk

Just signed him an hour ago for my City fifa team, he can gtfo now!

You jinxed it. Very well done. ¬_¬

I'm really starting to sweat on Tevez now. Just keep thinking that KJ is holding out for something else. Think Hughes and co should solely consentrate on closing this transfer now before persuing other targets!

I dont see why anyone can text or phone and take the piss.

As of now it is CITY that pulled the plug. We look like we mean business, we wont be fucked about. We pack up and move on.

Yes, it might come out that Eto'o was going to reject us, but he didnt because we got in there first and pulled out.

I am not ashamed or embarrassed in the slightest. I feel fine tbh.

We better get Tevez at least lol

I'll support him but will he stay injury free is the big question, and if he does, will his goal scoring rate be good enough? Like you said he busted a gut to get here which is very encouraging but I still feel we need a proven quality 20 goal a season man. Yes RSC had one great season under Hughes, but this hasn't always been the case throughout his career. If we want to challenge/break into the top 4 we can't rely soley on Santa Cruz, a class striker with Premier League experience would be ideal, sadly, they are hard to come by. The next few weeks are going to be very interesting.

Becoming all too familiar this pattern now - think I´ll hibernate for a month - not good, not good at all

Great post, at last, some sanity.

Bollox gutted, Etoo would have been a class act up front for us. We definitely need to bag Tevez now

agreed, we definatly need to wrap up a deal soonish... terry would be ideal.
