simon23 said:gutted that we have pulled out and i think its a mistake to do so.....we havent pulled out of the tevez deal so why wait for one player and not for the other.
it will prove an even bigger mistake when someone else snaps him up (which i could see someone doing right at the end of htis transfer window)
as for plan b......
well i hope we have one as the strikers we have are not going to get us anywhere near the top 6
Rsc....good but injury prone and.........also not even in the same league as eto'o
boj.....good but plays as a second striker
bellamy......plays as a second striker and injury prone (more than rsc)
the rest you can forget....they simply are not good enough and never will be
even with tevez.....(if we get him).......he is similar to boj and bellamy in style of play.......
so the problem still remains. We need an out and out striker in the style of eto'o........but who realistically is there that is left to go for and i can only think of one player and that is fabiano.......but could we be too late on this one
as for ibrahimovic.....NO NO NO....would prove a huge flop in the prem......just too tough for him...he would sped most of his time on his backside complainging about the treatment he was receiving from defenders
villa....never going to come as wants to stay in spain
huntalaar....so slow he would really really struggle in the prem as well......would fair no better than bianchi did
we have a huge problem now but luckily we have time to sort it out.........but there are only limited options. That is why i think it would have been prudent to persue more that one target at a time and even if we are getting messed around slightly by eto'o (and his agent) we shold still maintain an interest and see what happens......he is good enough ot take us to the next level........not many other forwards (and certainly the ones we have right now) arent
Life is too short, just move on, you don't know why we pulled the plug nor does anyone, and you don't know who else they are talking to, you and quite a few others need to stop turning this into a catastrophe, it is anything but!

Do you think that city may have walked away but still left the 25 million on the table ?

silly is probably a bad way of saying it, but to come out to the OS is a pretty defiante way of stating its over, dont get me wrong i'd be delighted if eto'o did still come but with cooks statement, it would be misleading to us the fans if we were still in 4 him! just my opinionJohnny_on said:Lomas has a lob on said:i want to agree with this but if this were the case i think mr cook may have leaked stuff to the press ie were looking at other avenues as well as eto'o or eto'o isn't our only option etc etc, but to put it up on the OS states to me that this is over (hope im wrong) surely if we went back on this mr cook would loook silly by placing such a statement on the OSmancity25 said:Maybe Cook is forcing Barcelona's hand.
hmmm how would he look silly? He would be a deal making god to get eto'o here. The press would say that the statement made last night was a stroke of genious.

I doubt it, I think the sticking point (IMO) was the loyalty payment
We may be rich but we aren't going to leave money on Barca's table for nothing! ;)mcfc_die_hard said:Do you think that city may have walked away but still left the 25 million on the table ?

Now before you all jump on me and and wage war this is just an opinion...
why not put in a very tempting one off take it or leave it bid for Torres? say 60M
he's changed his tune recently and has been praising us in the press? he could be tempted?

i agree think it was the loyalty payment, he is going to have the same problem whichever club goes in for him, he will have to reduce his demands or sit tight for a year and go for nothing.Ducado said:mcfc_die_hard said:Do you think that city may have walked away but still left the 25 million on the table ?
