You didn't see it on TV last night but I was sitting in the West Stand Lower and Sammy kicked the ball out when Eboue went down in the second half. We all shouted and was like, W.T.F Sammy attack son.

we dont need winners, we need a proper striker. and samuel isnt the one we need. hopefully we dont bow down and give him a 2-year contract. 1 year with another as an option and thats more than enough. next summer we really need to buy a top-class striiker.

Eto'o is a top class striker.A winner is a player who scores important goal and Eto'o scored important goals, there isnt much players like him, the RVP and Lewandowski may be top strikers, but are not winners.

he is past it. winner or not. nobody cares what he has done 5 years or 3 years ago, the now matters. being a winner wont bring back his speed and dynamic he had once. i am quite sure that if Benitez would want this transfer, more people would be against it but now because of Mourinho everyone is praising him without even have watched a game from him since he joined Anzhi.

Mourinho is a double UCL winner and won 20 titles in ten years, he deserves more respect and more confidence than Rafael Benitez, simple.

Eto'o is past it ? So was Drogba in his last two years but still contributed to massive wins, I expect the same with Eto'o.

benitez also has won the UCL once and the Uefa Cup too.

so you basically admit that if Benitez would have wanted Etoo, you wouldnt be supporting it?

And Drogba is something completely different than Etoo. he never was a player who lived on his speed not like etoo. also etoocomes to a league in which he never played in and also hasnt got any pre-season with us etc etc.

No, if Benitez wanted Eto'o I'd also back Benitez decision because I feel it is the right move.Time for me to question you, are you comparing Benitez and Mourinho ?

I'm supportive of the signing simply because it's a great stop gap signing and he fills in a void in our strike force. The way he plays now, the new Eto'o, is the type of striker we lack; a technical striker. He doesn't need the speed or dynamism (even though he still has plenty of that) that he used to have because his game is more refined now to being a technical striker.

It has nothing to do with whether Mourinho or Benitez is signing him. It just makes sense because we obviously can't get Rooney.

A one year deal suits everyone.

Eto'o is not that bad. His finishing is still good from what i've read, and his linkup play and dribbling has gotten better due to him playing behind Traore. He obviously has lost pace, but if he can get the ball at the edge of the box and make things happen for himself or others - like he has been doing at Anzhi - then that'd be good enough for now.

People forget that at Inter (especially in his last year), he was one of the most technical and intelligent strikers in football. @TheSkipper also made a similar comment a few pages back. The most popular argument I've seen for people against this signing is that he's older now & therefore his pace will have deteriorated. I don't understand the idea that he relied on pace.

well it was one of his main assets. also at inter he could run 90 mins for fun, he hasnt got that stamina anymore. its also funny that people compare him to inter days he is nowhere near phsically to that.

I think what he meant is that, without pace and energy, he is still a very good striker. Intelligent, makes runs, drags defenders, brilliant movement. Back at Barcelona, he , Messi, Henry were beautiful to watch. He didn't need pace or stamina (though he did have that) . He is a very technically sound player.
