The Manchester City has itself tired to expect an answer of Samuel Eto' or and has renounced its acquisition. In a communiqué emitted in their web page, the English club assures that from now on they will direct their efforts to another objective.
Garry Cook, executive director of the English team, assured to last minute of yesterday and of official form that "Samuel Etoo is without doubt a great player but the circumstances around him are such that is impossible to reach an agreement".
"We believe that is the moment to pursue other objectives and we have a strategy perfectly planned that we are going to continue from now on".
The communiqué of Cook surprises since hours before the own leader had asked patience, contradicting its coach, Mark Hughes, that last week notified the player that would not expect all the summer to that a final decision made.
The English company, had wagered in firm by the forward Cameroonian one, but in the last days was found with which two colossuses as its neighbor, the United, and the Milan were interested for the situation of the player. Even so trusted in which the agreements that negotiated in their moment would serve so that Eto' or was sheathed, in the end, its undershirt.
Cook had requested "patience" to its fans for the resolution of the acquisitions of Samuel Eto' or, Carlos Tévez and John Terry, the three stars with the ones that want to promote the staff of Mark Hughes so that can fight for the important positions of the Premier League.
While the differences in the case of Tévez are not reduced, the fact that Eto' or to have ruled out finally the renewal for two seasons as well as to exhaust the year of contract that remained him with the Barça they had increased the hopes of the City.
"The patience is an emotional requirement in everything that returns to the sport", had declared Cook to the 'Manchester Evening News'. "The people should understand that to pass from zero to a hundred miles per hour carries a time and in all they should comply the time limit".
The problem with the one that the City should have been found is that although offered a lot of money to Eto' or (ten million for season), the Cameroonian one did not consider any hurry to close its acquisition, since the entrance in scene of the Manchester United and the Milan, two of the clubs larger of Europe, they invited to delay their decision in the expectation that enlarged the struggle.
In the meantime, the Barça will have to continue waiting for that the player be decided and he choose his club of destiny. The best option was that of the team of Mark Hughes therefore was the most attractive economic offering, but the fundamental thing is that be closed the matter as soon as possible.
