There is no news, because all the main issues concern parties aside from City.
It may also explain why Spursmad, Ajay, other respected posters, my own sources for info have nowt to say.

Only sticking to their belief that Eto'o will get done.

lol respected posters, maybe they are having the deceny to keep quite because theyve been telling the world the Eto'o deals been done , (closely followed by you repeating them) only for the players agent to clearly state that he had had no contact with City at all !!!

I'm not being funny mate but you're properly naive if you think that his agent is telling the truth.

I agree, lets not start a linch mob for the heads of the decent ITKs we have onboard.

Eto'o wants his money and quite rightly to, I also get the feeling that Barca did'nt expect that Eto'o would agree to come to City so quickly and have been caught unawares.

Until Barca have Villa in the bag then expect delays and petty bickerings (thats if you can call 10 million smakeroonies bickering). You can't blame them, but it's unprofessional and bleedin annoying.

I think Barca know exactly what they are doing and the key is Villa.....Could be wrong.

So that means we've become a political football, so as I stated previously "somebody is taking the piss", be it Eto'o, his agent or Barca. We'll be crying over spilt milk soon if we don't say ta ta to this.

I want eto'o but 38 mill is us breaking the british transfer record for a 28 year old who is in his last year of his contract. A bit too much if you ask me.

Our best chance to get him is now. If he were out of contract, I doubt we would get a look in. Therefore, to us it is irrelevant whether there's one year or three years left on his Barca deal. Ergo, 38 million for one of the top 3 strikers in the world is not so terrible.

As for other comments that suggest he doesn't really want to play for us... I have no concerns at all. Last year, after being unceremoniously hocked around - even to Uzbekistan or whatever - he must have begrudged his Barca employers, yet he still banged in the goals that led to an unprecedented trebble. The guy simply knows where the net is. Besides, I am confident us Blues fans would show him the love he needs to love City back in return.

we will get a look in next year 'cos i think we'll qualify for the champs league this year. We'll be a more viable option as soon as we make the champs league. We'll be able to get anyone because we can pay more than anyone else, being in the champs league is the main thing for a lot of these players, they want money but the attention the champs league brings is what makes them tick.

the fact is mate when signing a genuine world class player it takes time and deals are complicated. yes we may have to sit tight and wait a week or so but believe me cook et al will be trying everything within their capabilities to get this guy.
eto'o is entitled to demand this money from barca. it was in the contract.
i belive we will come to some sort of agreement to sort this loyalty payment out, and eto'o will be a city player.
think positive .
dont forget it took madrid 3 years to sign tranny lol

Its simple, cough up the £38m and lets see where we stand.

If Kaka's worth £67m, then Eto'o is worth the same to us. We are crying out for a goalscorer, so £38m is a steal.

Would you pay £38m for Villa? Yes!
Would you pay £38m for Torres? Yes!

How much did Chelsea pay for Drogba? Eto'o is the twice the player that clown is.

You have to be willing to pay the odds, and if Eto'o didn't have a year left on his contract, we wouldn't bat an eyelid at anything upto £50m.

Just do it!

i agree with all those points, but IMO he wants champs league and we can't offer it. Do you really think he'll sign if we paid the £13m? because im not too sure!
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

"If Barca don't want him they should say so, so we can pursue the player's future in a professional manner.

"The club said coach Pep Guardiola did not want him. Guardiola has not told the player he is not required."

Eto'o has a contract with Barcelona until 2010, but Mesalles claims he did not receive an offer of an extension until almost midnight on Monday when the club offered a two-year extension on the same salary.

Mesalles believes that, if Barcelona have received an offer from City they should be open about it.

"If they have a serious offer from Manchester City, and if they want to continue with this negotiation we could be interested," Mesalles added.

"We haven't spoken to City but if Barca have reached an agreement it shouldn't be that difficult to reach a deal."


last sentance is very very positive!!

cant say i agree mate, don't think the lad want's to play for us and is using this as a get out clause. If we was in the chumps league it may be a different story as i'm sure he would come. This seems so much like the Kaka deal, IMO we're going for Chumps league quality without qualifying for the chumps league.

Absolutely.

That'd be bloody typical wouldn't it... we wait 3 years, and then he's 31!
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

I know i got the facepalm treatment but what exactly do you mean by it reagerding my question?
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

This deal is definitely still alive. It's clear Eto'o is only due the £10m loyalty bonus if barca ask him to leave. Laporta went to the press on Sunday to talk up the deal talking of "stratospheric" wages to try and nudge Eto'o in to asking for a move. His agent has called his bluff and said he wants to stay, but has also left the door open for City by saying he is happy to talk to us if Barca accept an offer and ask him to leave (thereby allowing Eto'o to collect the bonus).

His agent said Barca text him a contract offer last night for a 2 year extension on the same terms. No world class 28 year old is going to agree to the same terms on a contract extention, so again this looks like Barca tring to nudge Eto'o out. His agent has confirmed that Barca said in 2 seperate meetings over the last month that they wanted Eto'o to leave.

If Eto'o was happy to stay at Barca, and happy to sign a new deal on the same terms, why on earth would his agent go through with the press conference? Surely he would just call a meeting with Barca and draw up a contract? If he was going to sign the extention, why would he say Barca had asked him to leave twice, and why would he leave the door open to speak to us?

His agent has said in a press conferance this morning that the loyalty bonus is the stumbling block, and that if Eto'o can sort that out with Barca he will come to City.

Its a big green light for me.
 
Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]
