Eto'o wants his loyalty payment off Barca thats all.
If he says he wants to leave he doesnt get, if Barca agree to sell he does, Simple.
This deal will get done its just a last minute bit of posturing from both sides.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
Maybe I'm a pessimist but I can see this failing and us not ending up with Eto'o. I reckon it's part of being a City fan, even when we should be as confident as ever I still can't manage it!!
I will say though Eto'o staying at Barca for another 12 months is a loss for us, and a loss for Barca. Eto'o clearly doesn't want to be there, so won't be at 100%, and he'll get to leave for free next season, so that's £25m Barca won't be getting. It's in their best interests to try and convince Eto'o to accept out offer.

Its just what happened with Barton if you remember and in the end Newcastle "overpaid" so Barton could get his "loyalty" payment.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
This is just one newspaper report in Spain that SSN and all the pundits are just parroting, Ballague certainly does not have anyone on the inside on it, he offered nothing more than what was reported. It makes me laugh how these guys basically have a career in making it sound as though they know more than they do, when in fact they know fuck all.
Some people need to chill out and not be so hysterical.mEto'o's agent has said there'll be a press conference tomorrow. He's playing games as we all knew would happen. That's all.

Bartons was £300k?? Eto'o's is rumoured to be £10m. Bit of a difference

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
I remain my opinion. It's probably off, unless Man City say something today.
Although I'm not a City fans, I really want to see Eto'o in the premier and come to eastlands. But sometimes you also need to face the reality.Brucie Bonus said:I think there's someone at the door Dave. They sound a bit miffed.oafc dave said:Now Guillem balague has joined up with Graham Hunter to suggest Eto'o deal is probably off. I think this case shows no itk is reliable here. :(

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
There is another reason he might well come and that's the whole African charity side of it. If that is his motivator then who better to play for than the richest club in the whole wide world?
Think Cooky sold him a vision there.
Oh and even if Cooky can't get him then no other fecker could either. Stages of development and all that.

If he wants his fuckin loyalty payment and Barca are playing funny buggers and trying to worm out of it. Give the fucker the money I say.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
Spent so much time reading on here... only just got about to writing my first post!!.. lol
All these big money transfers seem to hit some sort of glitch along the way. Personally... regardless of the outcome, the club has made another statement of intent. Same with the Kaka deal... we've been on the back pages of most newspapers for a while now, and everything that is written, good or bad, will raise the profile of the club.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
Money wise yes, but it's the same scenario, I'm not saying we will pay all(or indeed any of it), but thats what happened. Barton said he was forced out and that the loyalty payment was due.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
I cant understand some of the doom and gloom all of a sudden.....look at the facts.
City have made a bid - As yet not accepted or rejected - the agent is holding a press conference tomorrow (for what we dont know!, could be confirming the move) - Spursmad says its done (not been wrong yet)
Lets think positive until we actually have a reason to doubt!......

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
I was reluctant with throwing money around before, but the way I see it the press are going to complain and bitch no matter what we do. Time to flex some muscle and get things sorted.

I reckon we rename the loyalty payment as a "13M bonus for planting one on the rags in the Champs League"... actually, double it..
