Samuel Eto'o

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Chelsea are leading the race to sign Samuel Eto'o, player's agent has already been contacted by the club. (Gazzeta)

36 goals in 71 app in Anzhi, 32 years old, but a proven goal scorer. I think he's the best option if Rooney wont come.

Think he will be available for 20m max. Only problem is his wages.

Dont you think it will be better than going to the season with Ba/Torres? im sure it would.

Nope, we are chasing the right bloke in Rooney.

He'd be a decent choice IF A) he'd renegotiate his contract and accept massively lower wages Our commitment was for no more than a year or two C) he wasn't expensive. The record of strikers in their 30's is not great and Eto'o hasn't played in a top competition for 3 years. Still, not sure why we'd need him really. I see why Chelsea are chasing a real #1 striker-Rooney would be easily our #1 choice at the #9, but is Eto'o at this point better than what we have? I'm not convinced.

...but he has pace

[Pizy 18,368]

No.

If we are interested in any over 30 striker it should be Ibra.

If we but Eto'o that would be stupid since we could easily have kept Drogba instead (which we should have looking at our shit strikeforce right now)

[Zoro 151]

If he takes a pay cut then he would be an excellent signing. Has a lot of experience which will be good for Lukaku.

[Johan Junior Cordice 4]

I think Eto'o would be an excellent addition to the squad. He is proven and still knows how to score.

[Sheva. 5,373]

I'm alright if he's our Plan B. Better than our current crop of strikers, and like Didier he's still playing well into his 30s.

And no point even talking about his wages, he wont get anywhere near 300k at any other club, desperate business by Anzhi and he should have saved up shitloads by now lol.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

REMEMBER GUYS, £325K PER WEEK AFTER TAXES TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

[Tricky 301]

Errr no, lock thread please.

How can you people know that he doesn't have the pace anymore? Are there any Russian league fans on this forum?

[Berke 58]

20m? Lol? No thanks for someone who is bloody 32, more like 3m
