Samuel Eto'o: Has had the most shots in the Russian Premier League this season (26), scoring only twice (7.7% conversion)

Ba's conversion rate is around 8% if i'm right.

Edit: 7% - Demba Ba's Premier League conversion rate at Chelsea, compared to 19% at Newcastle in 2012-13. Misfire.

It is funny how somehow this forum has turned into the negativity show, with every signing being equated to disaster.

Every player who is not Cavani or Falcao apparently is a shit signing.

Eto and Willian are talented players who can compete with every player in our squad in their respective positions.

Eto is still a great finisher and its not like his pace has fallen by leaps and bounds.

If any player comes in, which improves our squad, whether for short term or long term, i dont understand why there is such negativity even before the player has kicked a ball.

Chelsea prides itself on being winners, winning trophies, not like the Mighty Arsenal supporters who keep talking about how their wage structure is the best in Europe.

Doesnt matter if Eto is being paid 5 mill or 7 mill for his 1/2 years here, if he helps us win things then it is a successful transfer.

Torres is being paid big and is not really helping is win shit.

He should be the one getting all the negativity, while eto should be seen as a signing that lifts the weight of our shoulders, the supporters, crying out to not see him as a first choice.

Now Torres is not first choice. That is a win, for us and for Chelsea.

Be positive, like we were with Torres for atleast a full year of his crap show.

Goemaere - if you've followed them can you then tell me if he is still any good?

his technique is good and his finishing skills too. but physically, he isnt at the level of inter/barca days anymore. but also, russian league is shit minus few teams. in the Europa League he wasnt that impressive at all.

Agreed, he also lacks any motivation what so ever. Maybe mou can fire him up for a few weeks but he is no where near his level at inter anymore.

I think this means that Torres can kiss his World Cup spot goodbye. Not going to get anywhere near the amount of games like last season. I was hoping Mourinho would come in and bench him and that's exactly what happened, so that's a positive. Saldado (the penalty taker!) will probably nick his spot.

Wow - I love how this guy is written off already....

See what I don't get is that the Russian league is arguably like the French league, but Hazard can make it and Eto'o (who has won more than Hazard) cannot?

32 is not over the hill - go watch Shearer and Sheringham at 32...

With the right fitness plan and mental preparation - we will have a proven striker in our team. He will help Lukaku develop and hopefully show BA where he left his scoring boots...

Can't we just be excited that we have a new player?

I can tell you haven't seen a single match from him since 2011. Oh boy are you in for a suprise.

Well one of us is.... I'll bookmark your post and remind you after he scores his first hatrick for us :)

The thing is - ask ANY great player (well rely on a journo) and they all say playing with better team mates, makes you play better!

Plus the vodka is good in Russia and the women even better - I imagine Eto'o was probably scoring off the pitch more than on... That won't happen in London :)

Have a little faith in Mou, you think he'd bring in a washed up player with our current striker crisis? :)

Comment on my post after this season, if he scores 2 hattricks and no other goals in 50+ matches it's still a fail. I hope you/him prove(s) me wrong but i doubt it :/

Because when you judge player finishing is really about stats :D

Or actually Mourinho already showed to us what his B and C plan, if we dont get rooney

Make Willian deal reach agreement
