Samuel Eto'o

[Sheva. 5,373]

I think this is more the end of Ba than the end of Torres...

Mourinho actually enjoys the way Torres plays (or try to), while he already has in Lukaku an improved Demba Ba. Also, Torres wages are a huge problem for us getting rid of him...

Yeah Ba is leaving for sure, but Torres won't start or play as much now. Eto'o would be 1st choice, and Lukaku is good enough to be his backup, terrorizing tired defenders.

Our 50m man will be playing in Capital One Cup.

I would laugh if the club tell Torres Eto'o is getting his #9 shirt.

The more I reflect, the more I like this deal!

1) It adds something new to our attacking options, experience.

2) It obviously adds quality to the team.

3) Fair wages (a little less than 100k/week).

4) No transfer fee!

5) Huge marketing opportunity.

6) Its Samuel Eto'o...

Torres wants to play football, i could see him trying to force a move through (even if its on loan) as his place in Brazil looks under threat.

After Munich he went sulking to the media saying he might consider his future until we made that obscene promise to him that he will be number 1.

I know, I know. But will he want to really leave and take na immense pay-cut even if not playing?

Also, will Roman want to sell Torres for the price of bananas?

Don't you mean this?

see left to David Luiz.

His wages are less than whatever Falcao, Cavani or Rooney would have demanded. He's come as a free transfer(?). This is Samuel F'ing Eto'o.

Even on a 1-year contract I think this will be one of our most important ever signings. He's going to kick off the re-revolution of Mourinho's era here. He'll leave a legend after only 1 season I believe, just like Drogba did at Marseille.

Pfffff, overreacting much!

He took a paycut before (to move from Leti to Liverpool) so there's hope. Im guessing it's his choice, money or world cup. It can't be that hard, City managed to get shot of Adebayor in the end.

The best thing is that Jose knows him very well and also Willian is here. He will not be 'lost' in a new team. Can't wait to see him in the shirt scoring a goal for us!

Eto with anzhi

[The Skipper 20,609]

Can finally say our quad depth is just as good as that of City's and United's. Finally.

[manpe 10,861]

YESSS!!! FINALLY A STRIKER. AND NOT JUST A STRIKER, BUT ETUUUUUUUU.

FUCK YOU TORRES.

As you can see, I'm pretty excited over this.

Welcome Eto'o

I'm not confident on the signing but welcome, I hope he does well here and gets the support and backing he needs.

True, but I personally dont believe Torres cares about playing. I view him as a coward who would prefer to continue to be a part of Chelsea and risk the World Cup and playing time than to try a restart at a smaller team somewhere in Europe. I hope I am wrong though!
