You don't want Eto'o?!

Overrated finisher.We dont need him.
The best striker in the world is overrated?? My God...

You didn't happen to accidentally walk into a lamp post or something? Maybe you're blurry... :D

As a finisher,yes.With the chances he gets,he should score twice as many goals as he does,but he doesnt.Someone like Trezeguet or Nistelrooy would be twice as deadly if they were at Barcelona.
Eto'o scored 27 goals last season in La Liga - top scorer. You expect him to score 54 goals in 38 matches?!?

Eto´o is brilliant IMO, but many people hate him cause he is Barcelona player.
And is that fair?

Eto'o will be like Zlatan. talented but too full of himself.
Eto'o's talent is miles better than Zlatan's. I'm confident Eto'o would be a success in Juve IF he were to come. I don't see any problem with his persona either. He's a winner and thus would fit in well with our winning mentality.

That´s harsh. He didn´t shine but he didn´t fail also. Expectations of him weren´t exactly very high to claim he has failed.
He failed, he was a starter with Adriano for a long time and he never produced, well they both didn't. Even Inter fans say he was shite for them, though he's playing good for the Toons this season.

Martins was a failure but you cant compare him to eto. eto is way out of his league and would be a huge success here, defenders would not be able to cope with him

Eto is good he is fast and know how to move to get chances but he is only half talented as Trez when it comes to finishing

I mean he is a good finisher but not great

I would rather see Klose here than Eto
as for another striker we were linked with Huntelaar I think he has got some talent (altough I haven`t seen much of him) I think he could be as good as Van Nistelrooy who is by the way way better than Trez

Eto's finishing is top quality, look at his goal record, its better than klose and just as impressive as trez.
Eto created his own chances so has a lot more than trez does but you cant have a perfect player, plus trez seems to be past it, i would much rather have eto, but it will not happen

And from where do you see that?

look at his attitude. He refuses to come on as a sub, he takes verbal swipes at his coach at teammates. At the beginning of the season he stormed out of the stadium and was all angry because the cocch substituted him to bring on a new player when they were winning. He's full of himself.

Hell even Zlatan was a much better professional.

Did I questioned his goal record???
I said that he is half the finisher Trez is I didn`t say Trez scores double than Eto
Eto is playing for Barca a team that creates loads of chances and it would be very surprizing if he wouldn`t score that much!!!

as for Trez bring him to Barca and he would score at least the same
BUT if you bring Eto in here he would just be another Inzaghi a good scorer and not a great one

well no eto is not half the finisher trez is hes just a little worse, and trez actually isnt that great anymore, 7 goals this year? quality finishing.
as i said eto creates his own chances with his movement and dribbling, sure we dont have the midfield barca has but they can still thread a ball through

Eto is a great scorer [where is the smiley that bang his head from the ground], by Ronaldinho who has most assists in Barca. He's NOGOOD 4 Juve, thrust me, and after all Barca will not sell him, not for 3 mils that i'm givving for him. But after i'll think about it don't buy him at all he will ask too much sallary! Erase...

Rijkaard ready to meet with Eto'o


Barcelona - European champions Barcelona are trying to arrange a reconciliatory meeting on Wednesday between Samuel Eto'o, Frank Rijkaard and Txiki Begiristain.

The objective of this meeting will be to try to close the crisis opened by Eto'o's explosive declarations on Tuesday.

The fiery Cameroon striker called Rijkaard "a bad person" for claiming that he had not wanted to come off the sub's bench at the end of Sunday's 2-0 win over Racing Santander.

Eto'o also implicitly criticised team-mate Ronaldinho, and claimed that the Barca dressing-room "was divided into two groups".

Above all, Eto'o insisted that he didn't have to "apologise to anyone" for his erratic behaviour in the past three days.

On Tuesday evening Barca president Joan Laporta made it clear that he would be taking no disciplinary action against Etoo.

Laporta pointed out that it was up to coach Rijkaard and sporting director Begiristain to meet with Eto'o and close the crisis.

"I am sure that Rijkaard will find a solution," said Laporta. "Our coach is a specialist in this kind of situation."

Eto'o's outburst has provoked all manner of transfer speculation, with the Spanish media suggesting a move to Juventus - or even a return to Real Madrid, his first club in Spain.

However, an online opinion poll published in the digital version of sports daily AS shows that only 46 percent of Real fans would like Eto'o to wear the famous white shirt again

Eto's decision not to go on was much like Zebina's in our team, he was just not feeling good enough to go on, which I understand.

He didn't take a swipe at his teammates and coach, more like he reacted against the swipes at him, which is normal, not Del Piero style, but acceptable.

On the pitch, I never saw Eto as "full of him self", he was always running, and in some dire circumstances, came back to help defend or pick up the ball.

Zlatan never really caused trouble verbally, but his attitude on the pitch was less than what I expect from a Juve player.

He failed, he was a starter with Adriano for a long time and he never produced, well they both didn't. Even Inter fans say he was shite for them, though he's playing good for the Toons this season.
I seriously don't think he failed, during that time, he still managed to be very effective for Inter, he only lacked confidance in finishing, which I must say was surrounding Inter. I recall he had a serious goal drought, but I would still be very optimistic about his performances should he return to serie A.

I´m glad I´m not alone in Martins opinion. ;)
