Tevez For Eto'o...Straight Swap?

[Dribble]

LOL

Seriously no other major football club in the world would allow one of the best players in their prime go on loan to another top side especially when they are so flush with money.

If we allowed such a deal we would just look like total mugs !

They are not though. These sales are to help offset costs for the upcoming FFP rules. There's an excellent read on Goal in Inter's situation and finances since Moratti took over.

http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/ed...-sales-only-the-start-of-inter-damage-control

The most relevant tidbit being this:

Between 2008 and 2010, 29 per cent of Inter's total revenue (the joint-fourth highest percentage in Serie A) came from player sales, and yet they still recorded total losses of €223.4m in that time.

This article paints a pretty grim picture for Inter going forward and reckons they may even be the first casualty of FFP when they were one of the clubs seeking it in the first place.

“It’s mainly the owners that asked us to do something – Roman Abramovich, Silvio Berlusconi and Massimo Moratti,” explained Uefa president Michel Platini when listing the reasons behind his organisation’s decision to to put a cap on the free-spending ways of Europe’s richest clubs.

All the more reason we should have nothing to do with them regarding Tevez unless it's our asking price all paid up front.

I get a warm sense of serve you fucking right when I read articles like this!! That's why I advocate us doing what we need to do squad-wise this transfer window & dealing with this FFPR shit when it crops up in 2015. This is the window when Manchester City should have gone clear, but instead UEFA have seemingly put the fear of God into Marwood & Cook to the detriment of Mancini's building plans.

Wouldn't it just be poetic justice if it was one of the so called European Football Elite clubs who first fell foul of FFPR and who were also first to have to challenge it in the European courts in order to save their clubs elite status!!!

sounds like this deal is still a possibility.

Eto'o: "The negotiations with Anzhi are still in progress. It's possible that I am leaving but it's also possible that I'm staying"
Eto'o: "And there could also be a surprise from England. We'll wait until the end of the market, which will be soon."

Eto'o would love to come here but this time rather than us aggressively pursuing him, he seems to be aggressively pursuing us, LOL. But I think if Tevez was to go, Eto'o would be a consideration for us at least if he hasn't joined Anzhi by then.

I wonder why Eto'o is now possibly having cold feet about joining the Russian club.

Apart from the obvious Tevez/Eto'o swap, I wonder if Baconface is ready to offer Berbatov in exchange.

The United striker would certainly plying his trade much nearer to his native Bulgaria.

Seriously, we need to focus on capturing Nasri and doing a swap with Twitcher for our want away Togolese.
