Eto'o was THE best striker, at one point

David villa isn't as good but he still bangs in plenty of goals. Drogba managed it, look how long Raul played at the top level for and Del piero

You could see Torres dropping off badly at Liverpool. I haven't seen that happen to eto'o yet.

Who knows! At least he was cheap and didnt cost 50 million :)

What if he suddenly bang in 20 goals this season for us? Do you think the club would keep him next year or buy a new striker next summer?

from what I read in Brazilian media that's the deal. According to how many appearances (not results) he has this year, there's some sort of clause in his contract to be renewed automatically. So let's suppose, if he appears 30 times, a second year contract is guaranteed - although they didn't detail how many appearances that is.

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!

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.

That's exactly why some people are complaining. Because he won't cost £50m he must be shit. :Goober:

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.

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.

Pecking order:

Eto'o

Lukaku

Torres

Demba 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.
