9 - Samuel Eto'o

Metaphysical

Ronaldinho, Deco, and now Eto'o? They all left on a bad note, Deco to a lesser extent.

ronaldinho left on good terms.

yeah he grossly underperformed in the season, but he left through the front door with love in his heart. he moved on because he had to for his career, it wasn't comparable to deco (who was sorta brushed off the side of the stage really) and now eto'o who is making such a song and dance of being sold.

In Barca ?? that would be a first time to see in my life time...

you are like the that phrase in the bible about Jerusalem


no replace Jerusalem with Barca...fits u like a glove

HA!

brilliant, beast.

absolutely brilliant.

and totally true as well.

but the thing is even though star players rarely leave barca on great terms (larsson did tbf) something like ronaldinho's departure would have been infinitely preferable to this river of bile, bitterness and emnity that is going on right now

We've treated Eto in an absolutely awful manner, I've said it on other threads and will say it again, if we sign Villa and sell Eto we will be trading a better player for a worse one, I dont think Villa will have anywhere near the success rate Eto has, AND CONTINUES, to have, at Barcelona. How can you even be CONSIDERING (despite his attitude) selling the player who has scored 36 goals this season for us? Jesus christ, thats an unbelievably stupid thing to do when you think about it, last season he was criticised, he went to the African Cup of Nations, came back and proved just how good he was, scoring 18 goals in the league, and we damn well missed him in that period when he was gone, we always do. This season he's scored 36 goals and we're still trying to get rid of him! Why?? Keep him at the ******ing club! I'm not suprised he's making a song and dance of leaving the club, its sad and disgraceful the way that we're pushing him out of the door after everything he's done for us. He's so underrated by so many people, I'll be furious if he's sold.

I saw that Gneg. I just hope he`s not stalling and thinking of playing out his contract.
I`d rather have him come out in his Eto style and say "Barca offered me an insulting contract" or something.
I do think however that Laporta shouldn`t have come public.

Not much Laporta can do. Eto'o is just acting the bollocks at this stage.

Don cruijff has told that no player in his last year contract should stay. The options are, you sign a new contract or just leave. If a player don't want to sign a new contract but do not want to be sold, will be bad for the team.

Well Laporta is simply striking back after that cunt of an agent flashed his mobile phone and email print telling the world about our offers.

Another problem is if we don't buy a new striker this window and Eto'o stays then we will miss him for a month or two because of the African Cup of Nations. Sign Villa, sell Eto'o would maybe best for Barca. But Eto'o is a legend at Barca.

I wasn't really talking about goals, even though I believe Villa will pick up where Eto'o left off without any problems. More to do with the squad harmony and the difference in Eto'o and Villa's personalities.

Eto'o decides to leave

If the things are as there are them to us counted, there are three substantial new features concerning the future of Samuel Eto'o. The first, and main one, is that the player wants neither to renew nor to follow in the Barça. Second, that the Manchester City demands a definitive answer in 48 hours, and third, that the Barça (still) does not have intention to reduce 25 million that ask by the Cameroun.

We begin… by the end. The version that arrives from the FC Barcelona is that it had valued to Eto'o in 35 million, that has lowered until the 25… and which it does not think to yield more. A question of honor, for, and personnel, for others. Badly business.

It raises, insist some voices, if march Samuel, only remains Measure the perimeter of as front pure center… and the spare part market is complicated. Benzema has fichado by Madrid. The Valencia requests 50 million by David Villa and it does not love players who lower the cost. It wants, exclusively, which needs: money.

Total, that seen thus, in the club there is that thinks that, as is the patio, perhaps the best thing would be than it followed Eto'o. That the history of the past season returned to reproduce. When Samuel ended up itself being, after the own trainer had said that he counted neither on Ronnie, nor with Deco nor with Eto'o. The Barça managed to sell Brazilian both, but the African followed in the group and ended up completing its better season in the club.

That possibility, also expressed and commented in the board of directors of Monday, is not unanimous feeling but, to complete itself, it would have unforseeable consequences. Or rather. Foreseeable. Very foreseeable with Eto'o still on military, arranged to summon a press conference and to explain why it has changed of opinion. Why one feels despised by second consecutive year. Why a day receives a message saying that the best one paid of the group will be, why another one assures to him that the trainer does not want nor to see him and, why, in the end, they end up proposing to him to renew through a SMS treacherous nocturne and. As incomprehensible as the personal opinion of Laporta, perhaps attacked again by the mortal self-satisfaction, when assuring yesterday that, if it depended on him, the Barça not ficharía to anybody.

Something truly unusual, because, to those heights of the film, already everybody knows that Pep Guardiola has designed a project that does not include pieces that not yet it has and it excludes Samuel. And the logical thing, since they cannot bring to him to Ribéry, would be that the Barça, at least, brought the second options to him and, mainly, you discard would complete them solicitd by the trainer. Nevertheless, it has not done it. Perhaps now, with the new position of Eto'o, it is easier to obtain it.

It Would have to be. The difficult thing is that wanting the same, they are not able to reach an agreement. To the Barça it agrees to him that Eto'o goes away and Eto'o wants to leave. And City, by discounted, is wishing that it goes away with them. But, by the other, they are not clarified. Something that would have to try, more soon than behind schedule, to avoid the evils majors. To the club, the player and the Manchester City, that already haste has.

In fact, the English have noticed that they need an immediate answer. They also have stood. They will not pay more of already offered. If there is no fast agreement, will change of objective. The Barça can hope, but they, no.

And it is that the English club, property of sheik Mansour Zayed To the Nahyam, appears in Abu Dhabi the day 15 and wishes to have signed Samuel Eto'o, that, besides being its signing of luxury, would be, immediately afterwards, his superb introducer in South Africa, where the Manchester City will complete the preseason… and where Samuel is next image of the World-wide one
