Unknown said...: Goodbye to a Barca Great.

You are welcome back anytime.

One of the finest strikers ever to grace spain cetainly in the modern era (not the Franco era)

Thank you Samuel!!

And to bus breaker...you are right its now time to move on so lets see some Zlatan Videos.; 28 July, 2009
andreu said...: It's really shocking to read the comments of some Barcelona "fans". What did Eto'o do to you? He's a legend from the club you say to be fan of. He helped writing some of the most meorable pages of our history.

I really on't understand how you can bash him the whole time and hail Zlatan, who -although being a great striker ànd a great person (in my opinion)- didn't yet do anything for our club expcept for having cosedt us a Madrid transfer fee. As I'm concerned, Zlatan will be hailed once he has contributed substantially to the history of our club.

Said that:
great vid, thanks Samu!; 28 July, 2009
sara said...: This is an "Eto'o thank you" topic, so can Zlatan lovers please leave their comments for one of the other tens of topics, thx.; 28 July, 2009

messiiiiiiiiii said...: SAMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

EL LEON!

I'll miss you Sammy.

Aeneas said...: A big thank you to samuel as well as B4l for providing us with this great video!; 28 July, 2009
BlueNClaret said...: Left side or right side, headers, long shots, tap-ins... Pure class.

Oh.. Pardon me, if tap-in goals are so easy to execute, Maxi Lopez would score more than 2 goals. Sorry Maxi, just a comparison.

Anyway.. Salute! Thank you Eto'o.; 28 July, 2009
shafter said...: Hulk scored two more goals against Lyon today. That guy is like a machine. Strong as a bull and fast as a bullet. His shots are similar to this guy: Olexandr Aliyev, check it out

LeónDragón said...: there were so much freaks here bashing etoo, advicing ppl to go following inter blog (what a shame), as TRUE cules were thankful and grateful for a player, who gave his all to our club.
praised, showed respect and were thankful for a player, who showed strong character and became third best striker in barca-history, while ppl hailed zlatan, an inter player, that he was at the moment.
only true cules can give this worth, as others hailing players, who even ain't made a game for our club.
ask myself, if those who were unable to thank etoo and bashed him, screaming for zlatan, would have stayed interista, when the transfer was fallen down.
like zlatan and believe that he can make it, but he has to prove and improve to get there, etoo was, when he left.
welcome ibra and thank you samu for your help winning all this titles...serious sam, black mamba, king of lions...forever icon, forever legend!!!!!
ONE LOVE & SHOUT OUTS to all true cules out there, you know who you are...and to the others, c u when u get there!!!!!; 28 July, 2009
LeónDragón said...: also thanx to you, b4l, for giving the opportunity to reminisce over the good times, etoo gave us...; 28 July, 2009
LeónDragón said...: b4l, can you publish the link of this clip, for me (& surely others ;), to get it

faaaaaasciiinaaaaaaaaation puureee!!!!!; 28 July, 2009
sho said...: sighhh. I just watched the video.
Thnx B4L.

Eto is just awesome. and its funny I am yet to see those who called him the "tap in king". His goals were just sweet. He is an allrounder. Tap-in, long range, headers etc. I love you Sammu and would watch a bit of Inter matches, if it doesnt clash.lol

All the best Sam.; 28 July, 2009
Ono said...: I already want him back :(
The best striker in the world at the moment, and one of the best strikers in barca history. He didnt deserve this kind of ending, this kind of dissrespect from barca and the fans.; 28 July, 2009
LeónDragón said...: godamnit, will miss him, the player with the strongest character and who owns the words "striker who defend" surely for himself.
fantastic clip, that also shows, what people should remember by the name "etoo".
a legend is gone and hopefully in the future, a new has come; 28 July, 2009
SJP said...: i was almost welling up during that. great video b4l.

truely one of the greats of our club. hope we dont regret letting him go but really glad it all ended happily (Very happily for inter!).

ibra got a BIG shdow to fill, hope we dont change our game too much to accomodate him. thank you etoo.; 28 July, 2009
Anonymous said...: Best striker we ever had.

You will be missed. And kudos to the Barcelona tradition of treating our best players like shit.; 28 July, 2009
Moose said...: Thanks for that video.

Great striker. Sad to see him leave.

Thank you Eto. We will never forget what you have done for our club.

Lets all look forward to a new season and new dynamics being added to our team.; 28 July, 2009
Anonymous said...: Can someone please TRY to explain me WHY ??? What did this guy so wrong to be excluded and send to Italy of all places...
He stroke 130 goals, scored against madrid, 2 decisive goals for 2 CL titles ????? I love barca but cannot understand this.....; 28 July, 2009

Anonymous said...: Anon: It was a "feeling" by Pep.; 28 July, 2009

Yesoos said...: Gracias Eto'o.
makes me want to weep.
gotdamnit, i want him to stay. it's going to take me a while to get used to him not being at Barca.

also, it seemed like Eto'o and Henry had a great relationship... now it's all effed up.

i hope Pep is right.; 29 July, 2009
Caribbean Hotspot said...: Men Those Goals make me cry.....I miss u Eto; 29 July, 2009
Unknown said...: I just love Eto'o's off-the-ball movements, his understandings with Xavi, Messi, Iniesta and co. is so phenomenal. I hope Ibra catches on fast, for as a CF he doesn't have much time to adapt as he is going to be the point man, unlike titi.

Man he's under so much pressure even before he officially kick a ball for us. He'll be compared to Eto'o no matter if it's right or not, as the board said he's a different type of player, but his goal tally for sure will be compared.; 29 July, 2009
Anonymous said...: THIS REALLY BRINGS SADNESS TO MY HEART.I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THE BOARD OF BARCELONA FOR TREATING THE BEST STIKER IN THE WORLD THIS WAY.; 29 July, 2009
