Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

This shite has been coming. Just to state the obvious, lets remember that Barca are making such a song and dance about how Eto is "more than satisfied" with City's offer and wants to come to the club. There can only be one reason for that. Clearly Barca are attempting to slither out of the loyalty payment, which is slimy yet strangely understandable. If they want to use the Eto money to buy Villa, then they aren't going to want the fee cut by £10 million before they even get started.

Incidently, the longer we go without any formal Barca/Mcfc announcement on this today, the more optimistic I will become.

Eto'o to City = Done deal imho

Football politics being played, thats all!

Barca are selling him and he wants whats due to him.

It will get paid one way or the other and he will be a Blue.

Not ITK just my opinion.

Sorry, but aren't you supposed to be panicking, and screaming like a little girl, 'It's Kaka all over again'?

LOL

Refuse to mate, really hope he signs and i think he will!

However Eto'o or no Fookin Eto'o i will still be a blue, i will still go to bed tonight, i will still get up tomorrow and i will still have to go to fookin work!

That said i really do think this is a done deal and we are just seeing lots of brinkmanship at the moment!

CTID....Eto'o or not!

Agreed. Why can't everyone chill the fuck out! Eto'o or no Eto'o, we're going to have the best team we've had for many a long year next season. The season after that it's going to be better still, and so on. Happy days are just around the corner, so let's just all calm down please!
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

I can't believe that Cook hadn't found out some time ago whether Eto'o wanted to come to City. He met Laporta and would have been told that Barca wanted to offload. Then he would have contacted Eto'o/Agent to find out his view.

At which point it would have been clear if there could be a deal or not.

So maybe this loyalty payment wasn't introduced into the mix until yesterday by Eto'os people.

Must purely be Samuel's attempt to get some more dosh from a club that he probably feels have treated him a bit shabbily given what he has done for the team. He must know that Guardiola wants Villa and that must hurt him.

At least I hope that's what is going on!

I was about 60% sure he would come and nothing has changed.

His agent saying "he is staying unless blah blah blah" isn't all bad. It means we are still on if money can be sorted out, not that it's dead. The mooted press conference will be to put pressure on City and/or Barca to meet his terms.

How can Eto'o stay now that his agent has basically said the reason for staying would be to piss Barca off? Barca would have to put him in the reserves all year. Eto'o almost certainly has to leave after that.

The press just pick up on "he is staying" I look at "unless"

Not over for us yet and I can't see him staying at Barca now that relations between him and Barca must be as bad as Madrid and Robinho.

All about the money, all about the dum dum diddle dum dum...............
TBH thats the cleverest thing ive read all day.......... makes good sense

SSN saying he is likely to turn us down, agent says he wants to stay at Barca

Agent has not said that and ssn report this because its what they want to happen.

It is a better story for them to tell than us actually getting him.

He signs we will get 5 mins in between a 30 min special on the new pies ot the swamp next season....

He turns us down and we will be on all day for the next week with every rag they can muster laughing there little cocks off!

Methinks ragsports are going to be dissapointed ;-)

Might explain why this amateurish public wrangling over the loyalty bonus has been allowed to happen - can't believe its got to this stage without it being sorted.

I don't understand how some people say they will not believe a player has signed until it's on the official site or City say something but are ready to believe that a player has turned us down without the player himself saying something official
The agent acts on behalf of the player - so if he suggests there's a problem, it's a safe bet that there is one. It could all be negotiating ploy as some are hoping. I don't know the amount of money involved, although I have seen talk of £13 Million. if that's the case, I really can't see that being resolved overnight. Very likely this will drag on until deadline day.

I agree that it's brinkmanship by Barca and gun jumping by the media and it isn't pretty, but clearly the deal isn't dead yet.
I still don't understand what's behind this press conference thing, though and I still say it can't mean anything too sinister because City are never going to let that happen without beating Eto to the punch on any major announcement. But I have been known to be a bit of a wishful thinker at times.

i dont get the press conference either! why would they drag the press out just so eto'o can say im staying at barca?

I don't think this is dead either just the agent/adviser trying to secure more money.

I can't see how he can stay now because the fans will know he's staying for personal gain and could go now giving them the transfer fee!!

I'm not ITK though :) just my personal opinion.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

It's not very nice all this but I think there's been an over reaction to on these boards because of an element of innate pessimism and the shite way SSN spin every thing for maximum viewer ratings.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

From El Mundo Deportivo


According to Mundo Deportivo has learned, the representative of Samuel Eto'o, Josep Maria Mesalles convenes Tuesday for a press conference at the AC Diplomatic for reporting the official position of his client, the more determined to stay at FC Barcelona as accept the offer from Manchester City. As the player finds it unacceptable that the club wants to show that the conditions of contract 'Samu' are paralyzing the operation between FC Barcelona and Manchester City and says that the first option of Cameroon remains the club azulgrana. . Thus, this Monday morning, the operation is more open than ever and Eto'o has not given a definitive yes to the British operation. . For now, the option of staying in sports champion Europe (and leave open the next season) outweighs the option.


. The transfer of Samuel Eto'o to Manchester City and depends exclusively on the Cameroonian striker, as the agreement between FC Barcelona and the English club is almost closed and around 30 million, as reported by Sports World. Now decide Eto'o, who is now scheduled to arrive in Paris and is already familiar with the offer that the City has sent its representative: 10 million net per season, a figure well above the highest Barça be willing to offer a contract extension that would make the Cameroonian striker best paid in the world.

Barca is satisfied with the amount fixed as 30 million total for the transfer, but will accept the formula of 27 variables fixed at 3, which was the latest proposal by Manchester City. . The problem for the transaction can be closed is in the premium transfer Samuel Eto'o wants to receive. . Eto'o believes that within a year of free contract, it could negotiate more favorable terms than those of Manchester City win now and would be able to claim a premium transfer, which means that it is a compensation .


The money from the City

The City, however, does not want to pay more, since it feels it has already been quite generous in his offer, with both Barca and with the front. . If you come to 30 million in the agreement with FC Barcelona, will not pay for a premium transfer.. Eto'o, then, now more than ever the key to the operation, although the strategy has not changed too camerounais: contracts with the Barça, knows that in 2010 negotiated under more advantageous conditions and their first choice is to continue in Camp Nou.. But it is negotiating with another club, which had not happened so far.

. The City relies on their ability to convince those 10 million net for each of the five seasons that offers camerounais. . The club of Manchester United's great rival citizen is aware of its limitations competitive as it has not been rated for play eurotorneos, but dreams of building a winning team thanks to the millions provided by the Abu Dhabi tycoon Sulaiman Al-Fahim, already convinced Robinho and Tevez, among others.

Barca has not made any formal offer for Eto'o to extend its contract, among other things because the Club Barcelona are well aware of what the economic aspirations of the Cameroonian striker for quite some time, aspirations that Barca can not meet. . Eto'o is therefore more than ever who has the key for Barca and Manchester City could give the transaction closed.
