Faubert to Real Madrid last season was bizarre!
Pam said:The Eto/Ibram deal defies all logic but what is the the most insane transfer ever?
I'll save anyone the bother of saying Steve Daley.
Don't think anything ever beats this one for sheer desperation and stupidity on Barca's part

beggars belief that it actually values Ibra at £65mil considering we were offering 25mil for Eto'o.
utter lunacy.
next worst has to be 30mil odd for Sheva.

they must know something about eto'o everybody else doesn't or maybe messi said " bring in ibra and get rid of eto'o or i am off to city"
The Minger's Football Spy. are implying that it's about race. Can't really see it, though.

penant to zaragoza was pretty weird, finnan to espanyol was out of left field but this one is absolutely crazy!
not least because it'll change the way barca play quite a bit. jury's out.

How could it be about race when they still have Abidal, Toure and Keita playing for them?
Doesn't make any sense.

True, although possibly what they're saying is that Ibra is worth so much more than Eto'o based upon Ibra being white and Eto'o black. I still don't buy into that but it's a different argument than simply looking at the black players at Barca.

Ibra is class; I think he'll fit prefectly into Barca's team next season (obviously they do too!) and score a hat full of goals.
Eto'o had 1 year left on his contract and was obviously pretty desperate to leave. Don't get me wrong, I think Inter have got the better part of the deal, but I don't think it's that crazy really.

I get how Ibra is more expensive than Eto'o, even if you only consider the contract status, however £40m more? That to me seems extreme.Astuteboy said:Ibra is class; I think he'll fit prefectly into Barca's team next season (obviously they do too!) and score a hat full of goals.

Barcelona are absolute muppets for letting this go through. 38.5 Million i think they payed for Ibrahimovic and then they are also giving them Eto and Hleb on a 1 year loan. What a bunch of muppets. Inter will be buzzing!

I suppose, didn't think of that. Still seems pretty far-fetched.
Eto'o only has 1 year left on his contract, and i don't really rate Hleb at all, although the fee seems a bit excessive, i think Ibra is actually a more complete player than Eto'o is, perhaps less of an out and out goalscorer but his all-round play is better. If he fits into their system i think they will have improved, albeit only slightly. Seems a gamble though.
