Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

So Eto'o needs £250K a week to feed his family back in Africa. I reckon I could feed everyone in Wythenshawe for the rest of their lives with what he would get at City - and there's some real fatty's round here. Don't like the racist overtones but he is one greedy bastard.

Still hope...
But there could still be a glimmer of hope for City after it emerged Nou Camp president Joan Laporta will do his utmost to force the transfer through after being incensed by Eto'os stance.

There will be further developments later today towards a compromise. Cook is talking with Laporta first thing in the morning.

It's not over.

I hope we just note de niro's moderation post and ignore it. (the subject, not de niro's post :) ) It is like someone coming to your party and doing a great big shit in the middle of your carpet. You clean it up and feck him off. You can spend the rest of the evening enjoying the party or discussing the turds.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

SAMUEL ETO'O'S £25million move to Manchester City is in danger of collapsing because of the Barcelona star's greed.
The Cameroon star is set to become the highest-paid player in the world by pocketing £250,000 a week for the next four years if he joins City.

But he is demanding a £12.5m signing-on fee and that could scupper the deal at the last minute.

Eto'o's agent Josep Maria Mesalles said: "If there is not a 180-degree turnaround then he will stay with Barcelona."

Catalan giants Barca were ready to let their star striker, 28, go for a cut-price fee because he only has one year left on his contract.

President Joan Laporta appeared resigned to losing Eto'o on Sunday when he revealed the hitman has a stratospheric offer from City.

But SunSport can reveal Eto'o believes he is entitled to pocket the extra cash because of the way Barcelona seem to be driving him out of the Nou Camp.

Eto'o is not prepared to miss out on the huge signing-on fee he could expect if he saw out his contract and signed for a club of his choosing next year and is therefore asking for that money now.

It is unclear whether that cash would come out of the fee City cough up or whether the Arab owners of the Eastlands club will be forced to shell out more money.

Meanwhile, City's Brazilian star Elano is demanding showdown talks with boss Mark Hughes when he returns from holiday after Confederations Cup duty.

And it is almost certain they will end with the 28-year-old being told he can go, with Inter Milan keen on signing him.

From The Sun and its surprisingly positive towards us.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Wow..this thread has gone a bit Pete Tong!

For what it's worth heard from an ITk'er tonight who says it's all bollocks from Eto's agent in an attempt to get even more money for himself.
The deal is apparently good as done.
Really wish I could say who it was but I'd blow my/his cover big time.

If it turns out to be bollocks so be it-add me to the list.And I'll twat him on behalf of us all when I see him next.

amazing, he's totally re-written what he said earlier. or has he. dunno. he's got a different take on the whole bonus issue to all the other journo's, I thought the whole point was that Laporta wanted eto'o to move of his own accord because he was already contractually entitled to a loyalty payment of 10m if he stayed, and eto'o was gonna claim that money from barca if he could show it was their intention to sell him.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

Barcelona sign Keirrison to secure Villa?

Barcelona has this afternoon competed the signing of Keirrison from Brazilian side Palmeiras. The fee is set to be in the region of £13m and potential add-ons of another £3m.

We understand that Keirrison could be immediately loaned out to Valencia as part of the proposed deal to take David Villa to the Camp Nou.

Valencia want around £45m for the Spanish International, but could accept £40m plus the Keirrison on loan for next season.

Seems Barca are getting ready to get rid of Eto'o....all this will just be his agent trying to get more wages from city or a contract extension from Barca

Let's hope so.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

They will have to sell Eto'o to get the money for Villa. They need to get rid of Eto'o now when they have the big offer. They need to look at this situation long term. If Eto'o leaves on a free next season, they have lost out on alot of money. Barca need Eto'o to go, as they will replace him with someone in the same class.

It sounds like the Daily Mail reporter has completely got the wrong end of the stick. To the point that even the headline contradicts itself.

They've offered him a contract extension but it doesn't match City's wage offer and it is no improvement on what he is already being paid. Here's an analogy. If, for arguments sake, there was only one year remaining on Elano's contract and if he were offered an extension on exactly the same salary that he is already on, he would prefer to go on hunger strike to signing on those terms. Its humiliating apart from anything else. If it's true that Barca have made a offer but it's regarded as being a piss take or derisory, it makes suggest that the Mail reporter has the right end of the stick after all. It is all as clear as mud atm..
