We Don't Need E'too

[lionheart]

ok then pal ..we will go with fat bojinov and fat caciedo because they are going to be the 2 strikers who will over the next few years win us trophys and cause havock in prem defences ,,,looser...the best players in modern football can go get goals thereselves..boj and cas cant get goals without help ffs

But we will have Tevez, RSC and Robinho...hardly second rate...and we still have plenty of time to buy a young striker who won't ask extortionate wages. If Etoo comes, I fear we will lose Robinho in January unless Hughes doubles his salary, which would be ridiculous. Robinho is better than Etoo in my view.

I highly doubt Robby would leave if Eto;o came. Id think hed leave if we didnt sign good players. I do agree he is the better player though.

Etoo is not just been bought for etoo

Etoo is been bought because of his footballing skills and more importantly the marketing that can be done for the club off of his back.. he is the most famous african footballer there is and if hes playing for city then most africans will start to follow city creating a market for us out there. Eto'o all so raises the profile of the club in all other countries as he is known to be one of the best players in the world.

That is why we need eto'o

and maybe why he would need us.............

Rubbish - if Eto'o signs most africans will follow City?? Is he the only african footballer?? Have Barca "broke" the african market because of him. Do all Africans switch allegiances dependant on one player??

 

[bluetonium]

I admit that the prospect of RSC, Tevez and Eto'o leaves me scratching my head as to our best team and who misses out, and will that mean a mass exodus of fringe players?

But Eto'o is a great striker, and he is more than capable of playing in the middle on his own if required, or as part of a duo or front three. You can't turn down the opportunity to sign someone of his ability, unless he or his advisor is taking the piss. Having so many dangerous players would help eliminate one problem we commonly face - defensive minded man marking teams like Blackburn and Bolton.They can't man mark every forward player we have consistently for 90 minutes, and if that fails we can bring on some fresh legs and change our approach.

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

I think RSC is very second rate and the other 2 are not out and out strikers.

the amount i saw with bloody LA Galaxy shirts was worse.

Small difference - Eto'o is from Cameroon, its one country. Not a continent. And to be honest i didnt see that many but i'm sure there were plenty.

Also the amount of Madrid shirts sold all over the world is much higher than city would be anyway. So do you think Africa or even Cameroon is awash with Barca Eto shirts??

No but it would make City very well known in Africa. And it would stop people saying Manchester and meaning United because that's what they do at the minute. It would put us firmly in the minds and on the lips of a football loving continent.

Small difference - Eto'o is Nigerian, its one country. Not a continent. And to be honest i didnt see that many but i'm sure there were plenty.

Cameroonian.

I thought he was from the Cameroon!


Edit:.. lol.. sorry to be the third person to point this out!!.. my PC is running slower than Jo

Edited - simple mistake.

Point still stands

Take them blue tinted specs off and throw in the fact they don't play the same game leaves you with a poor argument in my book

 

[GStar]

Quite frankly we are being greedy if we expect to sign E'too as well as RSC and Tevez. Paying his ridiculous salary would undoubtedly create bad feeling in the squad especially where temperamental characters like Bellamy and Robinho are concerned. Much better to spend the money more prudently on quality defenders who are unlikely to expect monstrous salaries. With RSC, Tevez, Bojinov, Robinho, SWP and the rest, we have plenty of attacking options.

Ahahahaha... hahahaha... hahahahahahahaha!

Come on; "don't need Eto'o"?

It's like saying a few seasons ago: Samaras, Corradi, Vassell, Beasley. We've got four strikers we don't need Eto'o.

We're not being greedy ffs, we're being ambitious. Despite your constant knocks on here. Cheer up, you must be the eternal pesimist!

 

[poyntonblue]

Don't need him? Look at his goals to game ratio it's f**ckin awsome. And he's scored more goals in the champions league final than anyone else we got! he he

 

[Gareth Barry Manilow]

I'll tell you what we don't need.....

Another Fu**ing Eto'o thread!

 

[TaylorWill07]

oh god, some of our fans are turnin into rag like fans :| we dont need eto'o ? get real

 

[Metal Blue]

I would prefer another PL tested player tbh. then go for players like Eto'o in a season or two
