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

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

That would be a fantastic press conference. Although I'd be tempted to let the decent journos who haven't given us stick stay to ask questions. Ask the Mirror, Mail (unless Martin Samuel), Independent, People, Sun to all do one. Oh and don't have it on Sky or allow Talkshite in.

There's not many...i think only oliver holt, because he's a blue...

The Times are usually fair, unless its Matt Dickheadsen, and the Telegraph don't make things up. I forgot to add the Grauniad, they have been anti-blue and anti the owners because they have money.

fair enough....i just what city show the world and the rags....WE'RE HERE

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

anyone else get the hump with SSN they still dont seem to take us seriousley? this morning for example, they are running a story that benzema is attracting interest from arsenal as well as the rags, which is still paper talk, and were heavilly linked with eto'o again and it doesn't make any news at all. eto'o to us is far bigger a story than benzema to either rags or arsenal.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

hello people. right this etoo thing has sparked up alot again on here. i noticed this morning on sky sports under the transfer clockwatch it says we are closing in on him... there is nothing more than that though. are my eyes deceiving me or is there something going on?

Ur eyes dont decieve you yesterday and today reports are coming through hes going to sign mid next week. Spursmad thinks its 80% done now after originally being sceptical. And we no how good his source is. July 1st unveiling of Tevez/Eto'o/New Strip may not be so far fetched now.

i've been saying for weeks now, come next week we are going to show the world we are no longer to be laughed at.

after the press taking the mick out of us over the kaka deal, which i think really hurt gary and is the reason city are keeping their cards close to their chest, gary cook and hughes are going to announce a press conference next week and gary and mark will be sat there with grin's on their faces like cheshire cats, and with the reporters that have repeatedly put us down watching.....gary cook says i would like to introduce our new signings....eto'o, tevez and lescott(maybe even toure..but i could be pushing it).

Then, gary and mark get up out of their chairs and say thanks for coming to the press before they've had chance to ask any questions.

Now that would be funny and two fingers up to the press.

Still there at 5-1 on, however the John Terry to Man City isn't. It went from 10-1 into 11-2 the other day.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Barcelona President Joan Laporta has confirmed that Manchester City have made a tasty offer to rag Euro nemesis Samuel Eto'o...

At the studio's of iCatfm, Catalunya Radio, the likeable Barca top man revealed today that Eto'o 'has had a stratospheric offer from City that if he accepts, will make him the best paid player in the world.'

Laporta went on to say that Eto'o would like to stay at the Nou Camp but City's would be a difficult offer to refuse. Furthermore, he added that were Eto'o to leave, then Barca would continue to pursue David Villa, remarking that Villa and Eto'o would be "perfectamente compatibles."

This backs up the stories knocking around the Vital MC Forums that Barca have accepted City's offer for the brilliant striker.

More news on Vital MC as soon as we get it...

I don't want to be arsey but you're plain wrong. The apostrophe is after the first O iin Eto'o because in French, which is the official language in Cameroon, that indicates that the emphasis falls on the first and not the second vowel. Basically, his name is Eto, the second o does not need to be there, it's just one of those things with spelling, like the unpronouned 'u' in colour.

It is pronounded E-TOE. I can already see everyone mispronouncing it as etoo, chanting 'etoo etoo etoo' when he scores like the rags used to do 'ruud ruud ruud', and him thinking we're being racist about him and retiring early!!!

Methinks Mr. Laporta should keep his trap shut if he wants this deal to go through, characterising Eto'o as a greedy bastard in the press is hardly conducive to getting it moved through. Also, didn't this guy say a few weeks ago that he's definitely not leaving? They're all the same these continental club execs, they twist and turn.

French is indeed the lingua franca in the Cameroon, but his name is an African Tribal name, pronounced Eh'too. The apostrophe in Eto'o signifies the slight pause in the mother tongue - eh-to-oo, if you will. Which, when you say it like that, sounds very much like another 'Latinifiaction' of the same African Tribal name, ETUHU.
