Does the idea of an Eto transfer annoy anyone else?

Honestly, I dont understand why it seems like we are so desperate to get rid of him. I know that sometimes his attitude can be a problem, and that his wage problems are an issue, but is there anyone else who would honestly rather have Eto than Villa, because I would

Eto for me has proven he's better than Villa....I know you can say Eto plays for a better team (=] the best in the world of course)...but he's scored more goals than Villa in La Liga on a consistent, yearly basis, I rate Villa highly, but seriously, Eto got near 30 goals in La Liga this season, What the hell is the point in selling him to make room for someone who has never scored as many goals as him, and is only about 2 years younger


....I just dont think we should sell Eto, he's a brilliant striker fgs.

It's not just that.. if the rumours are correct he wants 10 Mil a year, which is ridiculous.. Villa would likely settle for half of that.

"Samuel Eto'o to Manchester City: A Deal Almost Done?"

Link.

If he came (highly unlikely), we would have to be paying him huge amounts to come here.

I also think Eto'o is better, and I don't understand the club wanting to sell him. He fits in perfectly and a real great teamplayer, he passes when it's the better option, he's not selfish like other srikers... I love:eto:

Ok... I have listened to everyone's opinion on Eto'.... but here are the facts...

1) Eto' has been with Barca for five years and the last two years we didn't win a trophy he was injured for a lengthy time or absent (ANC) at a crucial time.
2) Say what you want but there isn't a striker in world football that works as hard defensively like Eto', that's perfect for Barca and Guadiola knows that......His defensive pressure is almost priceless
3) 30+ goals a year is NOT easy..... yeah, with the suppliers being Xavi and iniesta, that's easy but review Eto' goal videos and you will see that Eto' create alot of goals out of nothing......e.g. Champions' league final 2009 (we all remember that one...lol)
4) Eto' scores ALOT of IMPORTANT goals for Barca....whether they be tying goals or first goals... he has a "nac" for scoring important timely goals......That's an instinct not luck.......
5) Eto' bleeds red and blue... The man has Barca in his heart and you can see that with his goal celebrations..... more heart=more effort....... he will die for the shirt......

Now, I DO NOT think that Barca should break their wage structure for Eto' but they should respect his contributions......he may be a "nut" at times but always remember the craziest footballers are sometimes the best......i.e. Romario, Stoitckov, Gascoigne,....i could go on and on.....

In Lucho we trust!
So how does that change the fact that Eto'o has already told the club he is going to finish his contract and then leave on a free?

He does not bleed red and blue...the only club in his heart is Mallorca and hez said tht himself...and refused to kiss the barca shirt when asked while being photographed...if hez so passionate abt the club, he ll just lower his demands which so far hez unwilling to do...

Well incognito, it's like sophie's choice.

But if he doesn't want to renew his contract, and with a reasonable wage. We, reluctantly, must wave goodbye to him. Cause it's not healthy for the dressing room.
