Kish9 50 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I really hope he can bang in goals for fun, for the sake of the fans atleast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie 10 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Ridiculous. He took a massive wage cut and signed on for just a year.He really isn't thinking about the money. He's obviously challenging himself too.Wage cut.. Anzi wasn't able to pay him anymore due to the cutback in their fundings.. Of cours he thinks about the money else he wouldn't have gone to Anzi in the first place..It is a challenge for him tho, I'm curious if he still reaches his old level.

Kerimov, Anzhi's owner, has a big respect for Eto'o and, even though he said he wants to get rid of all the players with big wages, he told Samuel that in case he won't sign with any club untill the deadline day, he'll be free to stay in Anzhi without taking a salary cut.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Even Torres can learn a thing or two from this bloke, quality on his day, just an out and out finisher.Great signing just totally based on learning people like Lukaku, never mind the goals he may score Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Ridiculous. He took a massive wage cut and signed on for just a year. He really isn't thinking about the money. He's obviously challenging himself too.Some of these Belgians give a bad name to their compatriots. Not only is that quote fabricated he actually took a wage cut to get a chance at another big club. Obvious agenda now that Lukaku's place in the team is in danger.Eto'o > Torres, Ba & Lukaku. 37 goals and 15 assists at Inter only a year ago. One of the most natural finishers ever, brilliant link up play and his movement is unreal.Free transfer, wage cut and only a one year deal. Bargain.For the people calling him a mercenary. Anzhi offered him a deal to make him highest paid footballer on the planet he'd be a fool not to take it especially after an illustrious career.

LayZ 201 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I was wondering about the veracity of this quote myself...It's in Rob Shepherd's column in DMhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2408031/Manchester-United-sell-Wayne-Rooney-Arsenal--Rob-Shepherd-The-Football-Grapevine.htmlAlso can someone confirm if this is the same guy?http://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/jan/09/pressandpublishing.dailyexpress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Ridiculous. He took a massive wage cut and signed on for just a year.He really isn't thinking about the money. He's obviously challenging himself too.and looking forward to work with Mourinho again. He loves Mourinho.Bringing those lines from ages ago, when his emotions were speaking after losing important games to us in UCL is ridiculous imo still there were plenty of them in the transfer thread and they're already infecting the player thread as well.FFS the guy said a few stupid words in the high of his bitterness when his team - who was definitely the best team on the pitch - lost. He was younger and had a big mouth. He said a lot of shit about Mourinho too and then he worked with him at Inter and now he's with us basically because of Mou.And also there are a few people comparing him to Benitez. Please! The FSW didn't say anything in the heat of the moment like Eto'o did (I find absolutely normal what Samuel said, stupid, but normal in football) and he said shit about Chelsea fans. That's a low thing to say. He played mind games while Eto'o was just venting.So can people do us a favor and stop with the controversial lines from a decade ago said in the heat of a painful loss?

Ollie 4,400 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I know of the quote, i've seen it on facebook by people too. Anyway i don't care, i'm just glad he's here. This is the same guy that started his career at Real Madrid and became a legend at Barcelona. I think he'll enjoy his time at our pathetic team.

Anzhi offered him a deal to make him highest paid footballer on the planet he'd be a fool not to take it especially after an illustrious career.A lot of them (us) don't seem to realise the world has picked up on the talent we have right now. It feels like there's constant need to defend Belgian players when it's totally unwarranted or unnecessary.I'm sure it's no agenda though, more like suffering from inferiority complex. Once in a while a new compatriot registers to tell you all how great we are; it's embarrasing but I try to ignore it.
