The guy is indeed a champ and that's why the board should treat his case carefully.

One of the things that the youngsters or the younger players need to add into their mentality is this winning thirsty and belief. Hazard (and someone else I can't remember, I guess Azpili?) already testified at the power this guy has in the dressing room and during trainings. We see the goals and assists he brings (I guess it's 7 and 5 respectively in EPL), but there's this whole psychological aspect we don't see but that Mourinho and a few players keep saying he brings.

It's different from John Terry saying it. Eto'o is a striker, I think he's one of the keys why we saw so much improvement in Eden. Yeah, the tactical part is all Mourinho, but I credit some aspects to Samuel too. Having a guy like this in your squad is always useful. We already waste whatever wage paying Torres to be there every week and add nearly nothing. I'd consider keeping him. Also his experience can be a key factor when we need a goal to win a very important match. We could play with two strikers and bring him because not only he has the experience and I feel he also has the winning thing about him that could score us the deciding goal to win a title or to get into an UCL final for example.

Whatever striker that comes to us, except Mario and the ones playing the EPL, will have to adapt to style, so having someone like him in the squad is really, really important imo. No one is fooling themselves here expecting he'll be the Eto'o of old from Barça or Inter, but he's still an invaluable asset imo for the experience and everything he can teach to our AMs and even Lukaku if we keep him next season. If we keep Lukaku is all more reason to keep Samuel too.

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.

Was Eto'o in the squad today? Would have expected him to start (or at least come on as a sub), with Torres just returning from injury (even if Mourinho prefers the latter for away matches).

Eto'o hasnt scored away from home, Mourinho said Eto'o is our best striker at home. Dont think we will see Eto'o play away from home unless the two useless cunts get injured.

Are there still some people who believe Torres is the superior striker and deserves to be ahead on the pecking order? grandpa eto'o is and has always been superior to Torres. Even in Torres's prime, he was always inferior to strikers like Eto'o Zlatan and David Villa and people can point out his ballon dor nomination all they want. . . . .

I think Mou said, it is up to etoo whether he want to stay or not because he said he wanted to come back to mallorca before he retire
