Re: Summer Transfer Thread - II

[Abramovich]

Eto'o would be a beast signing, but he's on like 300k a week and I've totally forgotten about him this summer .

[iNFINITY9910]

Latter part of what?

Summer sales from Anzi lol

[Blue Barrett]

Eto'o hasn't played decent football for about 3 seasons now. Not sure I want him. Old too.

Was just about to ask about this. I've been hearing for awhile that he's not all that good anymore. In fact, I even heard from one person that he doesn't even play as a striker anymore, but in a more withdrawn role behind the frontman.


It's a no from me too, I think.

[iNFINITY9910]

Worse than Torres? I highly doubt that

Sounds to me like a certain bald forward some people want...

Rooney is a striker. He's only been shifted around the team in a million different positions because the manager's told him to.


The last time he played as a #9 for an entire season, he scored 34 in 44 games. FACHT.

I'm just kidding

I didn't realise Eto had become rubbish. Unfortunate as the Eto of 3-4 seasons ago could be the perfect answer for our goal scoring issues.

Chelsea prepare to make third bid for Manchester United's Wayne Rooney:

I will fight to the death to get Rooney, says dogged Mourinho as Chelsea boss continues pursuit of wantaway striker:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2387308/Wayne-Rooney-latest-Jose-Mourinho--Chelsea-fight-death-sign-Manchester-United-striker.html

"We have identified the player as one we would like to have with us. We have done it in an ethical way and we are going to do that until the last day. We are doing things legally, making the official bid directly to the club."

"There have been no direct relations with the player, no contact — absolutely nothing. So let’s see if things change."

[Kick]

Let's hope we get him for a reasonable fee then.

Everyone hating on Eto'o without watching him properly.... He might be 32 but he's still faster then Torres lul, he's been playing sometimes as a fricking CM because the Anzhi team is so crap but he's still got it. If he came anything under 125k a week on a 2 year deal, id take it no hesitation.

Completely agree.

So you regularly watch Anzhi regularly then, do you?


Besides, no one's said he's DEFINITELY not good enough, just that we suspect that he may be too old and past it based on what we've heard from others.

[Glory]

Let's hope we get him for a reasonable fee then.

pray we get some players man. Otherwise how much noise Rooney gonna make it wont be of no use. Already frustrated Man U fans will turn kinda hostile if we allow Rooney to go and also fail in the attempts to land some decent players at Old Trafford.

I don't watch them loads no, but I catch up on the Russian league when I can (only for my boy Honda though ), I'd be very happy if we signed him. <- Eto'o that is and not Honda.

[Shed]

It would depend on the transfer fee and wages of course. Can't imagine he'd be much worse than the dross we have now, though.

Valencia keen on Chelsea duo Ba and Lukaku:

Yep, cause after the raving success going into a season with just Torres up front brought about last campaign, the club will surely be looking to repeat that this year as well!!

I'd rather pray that someone clobbers the Man Utd management with a frying pan so they are rather dazed and confused and accept a small offer for Rooney.

Except Moyes. He doesn't need a frying pan over the head to make him incompetent.
