If he is not better than Benzema and Eto'o next season, we sure are going to hear it from the football world. 75m euros!

We sure broke with the club's tradition of not spending big, but guess it was a coming together of several elements: the market prices going up because of Madrid, Guardiola wanting to get rid of Eto'o, Valencia holding on to Villa. But if we win a few trophies, nobody will complain, I'm sure.

He's sure better than Benzema...IMO Eto'o is best of these three *pouring gas on flames*

@Anonymous,
"If he is not better than Benzema and Eto'o next season, we sure are going to hear it from the football world. 75m euros!" Ibrahimovic is BETTER than Eto'o and Benzema(40M). He is going to score more goals and set up more goals than the other two strikers . Eto'o actual valuation can NOT exceed 15M max. Only Manchester City were willing to offer more . NO other club showed serious interest . So the total purchase of Ibrahimovic is closer to 60M than 75M !!

The club's apparently have valued him 25, so who are you then to say it's 15 max? Your opinion isn't relevant here. It's 45 + 25 = 70. Plus (part of) Hleb's salary = around 75.

The club may have valued him at 25M but NO club was willing to pay that . Only Manchester City were stupid enough to offer more . After all they paid more than 30M for Tevez. BTW, Hleb was NOT a part of Ibrahimovic-Eto'o deal but the Maxwell deal . Stop dismissing people's opinions just because you don't agree with them !!

Stop hating Eto'o for whatever reason and bashing the striker who gave us most trophies in the history of the club!

Inter was willing to pay it apparently. We pay them 75 or more for Zlatan, they pay us 25 for Eto'o. It's in the books, so stop whining.

Your facts are wrong or you're again trying to twist them against Eto'o: Barcelona has on Friday officially said that Hleb is in the Zlatan deal. 75+, second most expensive transfer ever.

Let's hope he's better. For 75M, he'd better be...

Our hands were tied in this deal. The best scenario would have been Eto'o going to Man City for 25-30 million euros and then buying either Villa or Ibra. Perhaps we could have brought Ibra for $50-55 million those only losing 20-25 million euro instead of over 40 as we are now.

In any event, if Eto'o had stayed we would have lost him for nothing at the end of the season and would have spent another 50 million on Villa or Ibra.

We just have to trust the club and move on.

I seriously hope he succeeds with Barca .. We can judge whether this signing is good or bad only after the season

rasagna said...

Eto is one of the best goal scores of our era .. how can any club value him at 15M ?? That is ridiculous even for a striker who is in the last year of his contract. I agree when eto is bad he is bad like the last game of the season when he missed nearly 10-15 chances and couldnt convert a penalty. Having said that those occasions are very rare. How can one forget his goal against ManUTD. Vidic was last years premier leagues best defender. In a blink of an eye Vidic was made to look average, and I tell you .. only a few can do that .. Eto is one among them.

guies eto is a good player but barca make him to bee a better player. let us remember who are behind eto i all matchs, there is messi, henry, xavi, inesta and more and more who give eto a perfect pic of him when he score. let us all thank eto for great seasons and wish him luck in his football life.

Barca makes everyone a better player, not only Eto'o. Also Xavi and the others. It's about the system that is good for attacking players to work in.

Marc4barca said...

some people see it as 75mil and some see it as less. i see it at as the money barca paid cause hleb is only on loan and i don't price players in exchange deals especially ones you have been trying to get rid of since last year. so you see, to barca this deal is nothing cause they have acquired so much in one deal, which is why they aren't to bothered about it. it surely doesn't give us the right to say eto isn't worth alot after this season but unwanted players aren't just valued so much.
