I know it is useless, but it is something i want to share with you. Sorry for my poor English.
When I go back in memory to last year summer market, I feel sorry that we failed to buy the contract of Eto'o. I believe it was a turning point in our chances to be among the top four.
I do not know why we have stopped our attempts to persuade him and bring him to City although he is the one who requested more time to think about our offer, but i think we should have been more patient. Today I believe we should have waited all the time for a player with his caliber taking into consideration that we have waited longer time for a player like joleon lescott for example.
When I watch Eto'o performance at Inter Milan, I see a world class player, he played a critical role in helping Inter Milan to scoop the treble last year. He was given full freedom in positioning, sometime played as striker and in other times he played in the midfield or even in defense almost a complete player.
He was one of the most important reasons that help Inter to win the treble. It would have not happened without the effort put by Eto'o in all over the pitch.
He also played an important role in bringing Wesley Sneijder to Inter Milan when he advised Jose Mourinho to bring him from Real Madrid who also turned to be one of the best Inter players.
When I think back to that summer, I regret that we missed that great opportunity
