Basically, someone posts some ridiculous statement like 'I think Eto'o is shite', and then sits back, cracks open a can of cider, and has a good laugh as page after page of gullible Bluemooners take the bait. Just be careful before responding to these wind ups. (Or it could just be that the poster was a dick).
I wasn't joking earlier when I voiced real concerns about signing him. I don't think it makes me a dick that I worry he will not offer the all-round contribution to the team that we need, that he is only coming for the money and that he could be our Shevchenko.
Great goalscoring record but aside from that I don't think he offers much else at all. In fact he's been anonymous pretty much every time I've watched him aside from popping up with a goal. Clearly that's a vital skill and invaluable to a team but last year scoring wasn't a problem. What was a problem in away games was ball retention in the final third of the pitch, an issue I believe RSC is better suited to solving that Eto'o.
Don't brand anyone with a different opinion from 'we're getting Eto'o he's well good and we'll win the league innit' a dick just for looking at things and having an alternative view.

wtf? lol.masterwig said:As I said, goalscoring record is great. But over the last six months I've watched him closely 5 or 6 times and he only scored in a couple of those games and was generally anonymous. I thought he was shite in the CL final aside from his world class goal. Hardly touched the ball and wasn't much of a threat all game.
If Hughes has in mind playing RSC in away games then I'm happy. I suppose I'm just worrying unnecessarily. I can't cope with signing world class players, we're meant to be shit. I've grown up watching Barry Conlon and Ged Brannan. It doesn't seem right having genuine world class players.
