Samuel Eto'o

He's leaving in the summer anyway, so why farm him off now? Brilliant player to bring off the bench, and he'll score another half-dozen goals before he leaves. If he ends up with 10 goals and 5 assists in all competitions in his first season in English football having played only about 50% of our matches, I'd be pretty pleased tbh. I wasn't expecting much when he arrived.

This is it.

If he doesn't emulate Lukaku in the League, I'd consider his signing a failure considering his arrival forced Luk to go out on loan.

So 10 goals in about 30 games is what is acceptable from a guy earning roughly £7 million per year and who cost about £5million.

Lukaku has scored 8 goals in 11 games.

He couldn't be on that much, could he? I don't think there are any sources concerning his wages either.

I'm not directly paying his wages so that part is irrelevant to me. The fact is, if Lukaku was here, he'd be getting the same amount of game-time as Eto'o/Torres. And his development would be stunted for that reason.

That's my thinking too. We might as well squeeze whatever last bits we can out of those 3 while Lukaku plays every week, next season two of them will be gone while the other is #3 behind Lukaku and someone else hopefully.

Plus if we count our strikers as 'one', they have 11 between them so far, so if they do that in the second half they will get 22-25, which will be fine considering how many our AM's and even Rami/Lamps get.

If Eto'o decided he wanted to stay and sit on the remainder of his contract like Malouda/Bogarde did to us, then the only way Anzhi could have got rid of him was to release him while paying his whole contract off.

That is true, but there were a lot of rich clubs across the world after him, so I don't think he'd have stayed anyway.

The fact is that players like Lukaku SHOULD be getting more chances but instead we go for has-beens who are little more than names nowadays. If we can't develop a player like Lukaku at this point in his career then what is the fucking point?

And the only reason Eto'o and Torres get the game time they do is because neither one of them has been able to nail the shirt down. Cech has. Ivanovic has. Terry has. Azpi has in recent weeks. Ramires has. Hazard has. Oscar had. SEVEN players have appeared in at least 15 games this season so why on Earth wouldn't Lukaku if he matched the form he is in with Everton???

That's my thinking too. We might as well squeeze whatever last bits we can out of those 3 while Lukaku plays every week, next season two of them will be gone while the other is #3 behind Lukaku and someone else hopefully.

Next season....next season....always next season. :rolleyes:

It's a Mail article so make of it what you will

Other than his woeful finishing, didn't think he played too bad. Better than that donkey Ba anyways.

What game were you watching? Apart from that miss he was invisible ! they are both as bad as each other , they wouldn't get a game at any other team!

Maybe it was the fact he was missing that made him seem ok! Everyone else was just terrible (bar Willian, Luiz and Cesar) :D.
