bluetonium said:Why would we be made to look stupid? If he doesn't sign it will be either because he wants to be petty and mess up Barca's plans until his contract runs down, or we are not prepared to break the bank for him.
Even if he stays, a summer where we have signed Barry and Tevez and RSC and look to be getting at least one more in Lescott, looks like a pretty good summer to me. Top four will not be laughing at us next season, that's for sure.
br55 said:The latest info. is saying that he will now stay at Barcelona. If Eto'o does not sign I think we are made to look stupid again. I thought we were trying to cultivate a good relationship with Barcelona and I therefore wonder why they have proclaimed publicly in the last few days about our 'stratospheric' offer knowing full well that Eto'o will announce he is staying with them in his press conference on Wednesday. I really hope he signs but I have a bad feeling that we will be made to look like fools having offered him those ridiculous wages.

Where does it mention this loyalty bonus ??
JOHNNYMARRISABLUE said:Right chaps..
calm down..
The squad we have at present will get us into the top 6 ...
We will find out about Eto'o and Tevez for sure this week .. with them on board.. maybe top 4 or 5
I'm hoping for a nice surprise though like the rest of you and am constantly checking for tit bits of info and what have you.. but the truth is .. there aint any real ITK's ..someone might get some good info off an agent in the trade but theres no way any1 person will know everything about every deal !! so we need to be patient and wait for transfers to be officially revealed..
Till then I will take great pleasure in laughing at these ITK'ers spinning you all lines left right and centre..

David Villa!
Deary me it's like flogging a dead horse. This will not happen! The man himself has made it clear he ain't leaving Spain for any amount of money.
Eto'o is only considering it because of the money nothing else. And if he decides to stay put then I believe City do not have a back-up plan. This is more like a one-off deal much like Kaka was supposed to be.
