Samuel seems like a really nice guy

Jose Mourinho is ready to offer striker Samuel Eto’o a new 1 year deal for next season. #CFC (Sun)

Apparently Eto'o has been passing his experience onto Hazard (see his thread couple off days back) if he can do the same for Lukaku then that can only be good.

Costa, Lukaku and Eto'o would offer us a real balance up front, one in his prime, one young and upcoming and one who's been around the block and won everything.

There is more chance of Messi scoring against us than Torres being sold.

What if Atletico gets him for free as an extra gift for Costa?

Wouldn't that be great? He started his career there, so...

Great for us yea, not so much for them..

[The Skipper 20,609]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind keeping him if we sold both Torres and Ba. His experience is already rubbing off on certain players like Eden, that alone makes it worth it IMO providing we can sell the other two.

Well, we have a saying in Belgium: don't check a given horse's teeth ;-)

True that!

yeah would be alright if Torres+Ba are going. I cant see Torres leaving though by any means.

You're not thinking far enough then. If Chelsea are indeed interested and want to sign Costa, there might be some kind of swap-deal including Torres.

Agreed.

From the Hazard-Eto'o situation you can see why Eto'o has been Samuel Eto'o for so many years: it's the mentality (besides the obvious and bright skills, of course).

Eto'o has a winner mentality, a great charisma and he is basically Mourinho on a football pitch (that's why they get along so well and that's also the main reason Inter won the Treble: the "Mourinho + Eto'o" factor); I remember watching him in Inter Milan: what he's doing with Hazard he did there as well, especially with young lads (go ask Coutinho, Biabiany or Obi about that).

In Inter, he used to always talk with his teammates, he was positive, always with the smile on the football pitch, and I've never seen him blame or accuse a teammate, not once; obviously, at the time he was still near his prime so he himself banged 40 goals per season, now he can't do that anymore, but I'm still positive that, as you said, an eventual up front made by Costa, Lukaku and Eto'o would be great for Chelsea (and also for Lukaku, who can learn so many things from Samuel).
