The Mak 4,459 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Free transfer, 1 year contract, under £100k a week... Don't know why people would complain over that.To be fair, I think the complainers have stopped!He comes on a free and takes a massive pay-cut. It tells us that he doesn't see this stint as a holiday or just an experience. It says he's committed to José's cause and will do pretty much anything to help the team; that's a x100 times better than the Ladyboy has been for the past 3 years!

remains of the day 564 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Where do people get under £100k from lol? He is on 7 millions after taxes so still quite a lot. But I agree, quality player at least for now anyway.I've seen just one report claiming that and that's from the daily mail. Everywhere else is reporting that he'll be on 6 million (euros) after taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Free transfer, 1 year contract, under £100k a week... Don't know why people would complain over that. That's exactly why some people are complaining. Because he won't cost £50m he must be shit. Fantastic piece of business if you ask me. From what I've seen Anzhi he's mostly been good and Jose knows him so he will probably settle in quite nicely. Age won't matter because he's a free transfer and the contract is only short term. If he succeeds, he can be given a couple of one year extensions but if he fails he'll be gone by next summer and won't trouble the club no more. By the time he leaves or retires we will have a more mature Lukaku to claim a bigger role in the team but in the meantime he can learn from someone who at least used to be one of the best strikers in the world.

Mouri_Matic 560 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Free transfer means no pressure on Eto'o. Loving this deal He got nothing to prove, he is already known as one of the best striker in football history and won load of trophies so this is him just enjoying football. I also think he is very rich after making £40m these past 2 years hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Pecking order:Eto'oLukakuTorresDemba loan/transfer.Lukaku is likely to cause more problems coming off the bench than Torres. Look at the impact Lukaku had against Villa: he put himself about, created one good opportunity for himself that he narrowly missed and was a real presence. Now contract that with Torres coming off the bench against Utd, his sole contribution was to very nearly cost us the game with a turnover with about 30 seconds to go.

Madmax 9,219 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Reading the 'PL unproven' guff elsewhere. You'd think that brigade would now better know after seeing Liverpool's travails with 'PL proven' players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
