I've just been given some very reliable info regarding Eto'o.

My source says "He is 90% coming to City. Its all about Eto'o getting what he wants out of Barcelona before he joins City."

This guy is no bullshitter. He said we were signing Stuart Taylor from Villa, Barry from Liverpool and Bridge from Chelsea days before they even were rumoured in the news.

I'm always very sceptical about ITK's, but this guy is for real.

I suppose only time will tell if he's right...

Tell your source that I love him ! :cheers:

Eto'o is a Barca legend, no doubt. But it's time he moves on. Needless to mention his poor finishing recently, he doesn't have the sharpness he had 2-3 seasons back. His wage demands are excessive and above all his attitude doesn't help the situation at all .. He had a few situations with Pep this season which could have turned nasty if Pep didn't deal with it maturely .. Anyways, if he does leave Thank you so much, and if he stays then it's alright as well, but I really prefer a new striker.

As I said, I'm always very sceptical about all this ITK crap. But this guy has some major back-up to all his previous claims.

I think we all hope he's right, again.

Fingers crossed !

How can you despite a champions league winning goal? It was not even a tap in, it was prime effort. Let us not forget how many champions leagues you have lost and that he scored in the two games you won the CL.

Yes I understand that for a couple of months he was absolutely garbage but he was phenomenal for 6-7 months at least (including the CL final). What beast is arguing is the lack of appreciation, the lack of glorification for such an icon of the club. From a footballing perspective, and from an economical perspective it makes sense to sell him now.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand his whining and his ridiculous behavior mid season.However his attitude towards you was the same attitude you have shown him as you do not protect him. Some players eluded to the fact that they want him out already, public opinion of him has been absolutely critical and non-supportive in the final stretch, Laporta did not come out and say anything neither did any of his teammates. He is a bitch, one hundred percent, not an asshole, but a total bitch. A bitch that has contributed to 3 LA ligas and 2 CLs. Which means he deserves better.

Eto'o does deserve better. One of the highest scorer's in our club's history. Xavi has done much less and has received far great accolades. All the Catalans get treated like their shits don't stink... fuck even Oleguer stayed for seasons after we knew he was shit and they still gave him a shot till the very end.

Great player Id love to see how he would do in the premiership would he score as many goals I think so but I also thought Morientes would score a hat full and he didnt .

As for the wage issue why he isnt a top earner at Barca baffles me to be honest .

cause eto'o isnt as world class you lot make him out to be... half of his goals are made by the hard work of people behind him like henry, xavi, iniesta, and messi

at the end of the season, when you guys saw him play with our B team... he did absolutely nothing and lost the pichichi race. he cant create a goal for himself and it was sooo evident that his heavy touch is obvious from his lack of acceleration.

Wait so "getting out of Barcelona what he wants" - does that mean that Eto'o would move next year?

Fook knows, that's all he's told me. He did give me the impression that he was moving this summer.

You could say that about any player coming to the EPL though.

Oh, and and fuck off rag. ;)

Without this sounding like Im causing trouble no I dont think Robinho is a top player in terms of world football .

I think Tevez brings more pull then Robinho so if you do sign Tevez then maybe he can attract a few of his pals over from Argy .

There you go blueduck I can talk sensible I may be a bad tempered twat but I know alot about the game so try and respect me on that front .

In terms of utter madness u get a 10/10

I think the way pep treated Eto'o from the get go was poor and now that he has help us in a big way to win the treble pep has said again that he is not wanted.
I wonder why he is being treated this way even if he is a bit tempremental, he seems respectful enough to his team mates and they all only have good things to say about him so i dont understand.
I would happily keep samu because we are going to need a proven goal scorer whcih Eto'o is season which is going to be a very long campaign.

Pep didn't treat Eto'o poorly, he just didn't baby him - he was very honest and up front about it, and he said he won't mess around. Pep's treatment was required

I would say that Guadiola know how to motivate his players........ Its funny but i remembered last season eto was on a hat trick and was subsituted in the 60th minute or so. the next game or so he scored a first half hat trick...... maybe guadiola knows how to motivate him......:pep:

This is the e-mail I've just got off that ITK.

Hi T---

I have spoken to my source again today about the Eto'o situation, and he said wasn't the slightest bit worried about it.

All details between Eto'o and City has been agreed, the only thing to be sorted is Eto'o pay off from Barcelona.

I know I am repeating myself but to reasure you after what The News said regarding Lescott, he is 100% a Man City player.

I can't tell you when these will be announced because I haven't been told, but in time you will see that I am not a wum.
