Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

i think the press conference will be eto'o saying he wants to see out his contract if barca want him. barca wont want to keep him and then let him go for nothing, barca accept offer, eto'o comes but doesnt look bad in the fans eyes because "he didnt want to leave in the first place"
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

its very odd .... why would a player hold a press conference at all if he was staying or going.

Barca can't make him leave if he doesn't want to

To be honest its pantomime and I dont understand why it is not just rejected or accepted with no fucking about.

He scored 36 goals this season in a treble winning campaign what more can he possibly do to earn an improved or acceptable contract?

Ive been thinking about the other scenario 2 i dont think anyone bar RM can offer him more than 180k a week with or without a signing bonus, so it will have to be a monumental signing bonus i.e 10m plus just to him so a club would be paying a transfer fee anyway just to him.

I wasnt saying that he wants the contract but he could say that to look the hero and then leave next year and get an even bigger wage elsewhere meaning he gets more money and keeps the respect of Barca fans. Inter could pay that wage

The club that has come in is Inter, and yes they have urged the player to stay and honor his contract.

This gives them time to find a buyer for ibrohimovic (spelling sorry) who pre ronaldo was the highest paid player in the world i 200k ish then his wages could then be allocated to Eto.

City are in a race against time to up their offer, which is no where near the figure mooted around, but does give him parity with robbie. If we get to that stage, then Eto is bound to ask for a loyalty payment from Barca as hes not asked to leave and a signing on fee from us.

This ones got a long way to run yet lads so best not get too excited.

Is this just your theory? or are you "ITK"?

Why should he see his contract out if he and Guardiola cant get along?

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Hi Everyone,

Been reading the quotes on this site over the last few days and just registered and wanted to say Hi and get involved!

I am a season ticket holder at COMS and love all the talk of Eto, Tevez etc!.

For what its worth I have a positive outlook on Eto'o and think like most he will be on board by end of the week latest. I am basing that on the fact that I also believe we cant afford another "Kaka" episode!......surely not again!

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

His agent could be just reading out a statement from Eto'o explaining to the fans why he is going and to thank them for his time at the club. Thats happened on numerous occasions in the past.

Or he could announce his intention to stay ;)
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

I will drop my pants outside Primark if Eto'o has signed by Friday. If you think he won't sign, what's your forfeit?
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

if you see my post a few pages back if ETO says he wants to leave, no loyalty payment from Barca, its 100% nailed on he like most big stars have a clause.

if he says i want to stay etc then he will get both loyalty payment and a signing on fee form us.

the guy is massivley financially motivated, not to line his own pockets but for some charity he runs in africa. the more money he can make then better for this.

plus inter have thrown a spanner in the works!

Well, Robinho did something like this last summer several times though.

I definitely believe it's off now, unless Man City announced something today. If that is a done deal, I dont think they'll allow a player's agent to speak before they confirm it.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Well, City are in a pretty precarious position now...if it turns out that he's going to stay at Barca we are going to look very bad. The perception will be that we failed, and Cook in particular, is going to be in for some abuse both from the press and the fans...

We would be wise to pre-empt this "press conference" tomorrow with our own statement. Better to get your retaliation in first and all that...
