Samuel Eto'o

[Principe]

Guardiola just gave a press conference that was on Sky Sport 24, my Italian is non-existent but a lot of it revolved around the Eto'o - Ibra deal and he said stuff like Eto'o will join a great squad like Inter...I can't wait till the translated version of the press conference is shown.

 

[Alessandro]

He said that if Eto stays at Barca, Ibra won't arrive and will stay at Inter.

 

[NimAraya]

What the fuck is wrong with this motherfucker?!!! Fucking asshole just clear ur fucking future soon.

 

[Stefan]

He also said he has made the decision that eto should gone. He said it might be the wrong decision but its his decision.

 

[The777]

Now Guardiola's statements are the end of this story. Eto'o will join us, without doubt. And obviously, Zlatan will leave...

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah, Guardiola said that Eto'o will not continue at Barcelona. He doesn't feel Eto'o's character is right for the team.

 

[Nero Indigo]

well a change of enviroment might be good for both prima-donnas

 

[CafeCordoba]

Branca confirms that tomorrow will be the meeting between Inter and Eto'o.

Wtf Cafe this is bs lol another day we have to wait man i though it was going be done and dusted today i wanted Jose to get Hleb and Eto'o asap and today Lucio will be there but man I just wanted to get everybody there so they have preparation for the suppercoppa together with selling the myriad of fucking dead weight on this team especially the bum who blew the pens yesterday in Viera.

Anyways if you guys haven't seen this here is back years ago where Eto'o was critical of Jose style of play and Chelsea in it he says he would never play for Jose not even for a mountain of money.

[Stefan]

a Lot of times eto'o says things that he doesn't actually mean. He is one of those guys who talks before thinking. I doubt he thinks that way now and I doubt jose holds it against him.

Yeah, it takes time. Today Mesalles was supposed to meet Barca representatives, but at least in the morning nothing had happened, like he said when asked about it (above is link to the interview). So probably tonight or tomorrow they will meet Barca, and then they will fly to Milano. If we are lucky, the deal is done by Wednesday, as it needs Zlatan's signing too.

 

[Stefan]

Branca was just trying to throw journo's off the scent. Eto's agent is in milano already.

[Stefan]

According to the guys at interfans.org moratti gave a short interview to journo's outside the saras offices.

He said: The negotiations between eto's agent and branca are going well.

When asked whether there are any problems he said : Absolutely nothing.

So it seems this will be done soon.

Here's the interview: He also says he will add another sample( I think that usually means star in this context??). Don't have the source of the copy text yet.

MILANO, 20 luglio 2009 - Eto'o-Inter, sono ore decisive. Il procuratore dell'attaccante camerunese, Josè Maria Mesalles, è arrivato a Milano per incontarsi con Marco Branca. Sul tavolo la questione dello stipendio di Eto'o, che non ha ancora detto sì all'Inter nonostante l'accordo tra il Barcellona e i nerazzurri, che prevede il passaggio in blaugrana di Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Il presidente dell'Inter Massimo Moratti: "La trattativa procede, non ho certezze ma sono fiduciooso. Speriamo di poter portare un altro campione in nerazzurro. Nonostante le parole di Guardiola, noi siamo convinti del suo valore. Quanto a Ibrahimovic, è un grandissimo professionista e non posso dimenticare che grazie ai suoi gol sono arrivati gli scudetti. Con noi ha sempre avuto un atteggiamento irreprensibile". Raggiunto l'accordo con l'Inter sulla durata del contratto e la cifra dello stesso, Eto'o dovrà poi trattare con il Barcellona la buonuscita che reclama.

 

[Rimpel]

Seems like it's pretty much official:



Tonight Samuel Eto'o's agent is in Milan to discuss personal terms with Inter president Massimo Moratti. Eto'o's wage demands have reportedly been the only aspect of the big exchange deal between Inter and Barcelona involving the Cameroon star and Zlatan Ibrahimovic that hasn't been settled yet.

Moratti was intercepted by journalists on his exit from the Saras offices today and could not avoid talking about the latest developments in this saga.

"The negotiations are ongoing and I'm confident they will end well," he said to Sky. "In the end Eto'o will accept Inter and will be ours.

"Ibrahimovic? I consider him a very serious professional, who sometimes expresses his opinions, but with us, even in difficult situations, he's always done well."

On Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola's words about Eto'o, Moratti said, "He simply said what he thinks, from a tactical point of view. He did not offload him, I think he said what he had to say from his part, that with Eto'o having already won everything in that shirt he wanted a more motivated player.

"If Ibra goes to Barca without Eto'o coming to us? I don't know about that..."

i heard something about that it will be official, but Hleb isn't in the deal only 48 million euros + Etoo.

But it's true Hleb can be loaned without this deal.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah Hleb can be loaned anyway. It's just that perhaps we have to pay his salary and it might be pretty big considering taxation differences between Italy (43%) and Spain (for foreigners only 23%).

Guys at interfans.org have been saying that barca will pay hleb's salary.

Anyway the official barca site doesn't actually mention hleb as being part of the ibra deal so I think its being dealt separately.

 

[ciamac]

despite all the attitude, this guy played and acted passionate toward barca every time i saw him and i'm sure this wont change at inter. so get ready for him kissing the badge in his first games playing for inter!

 

[CafeCordoba]

It's reported Barca won't pay any golden handshake to Eto'o and so Inter have to do it. I seriously doubt Moratti is willing to pay some 10m€ or even 5m€ to Eto'o as signing in fee. That would be ridiculous.

That would be ridiculous indeed as El Mundo Deportivo speculates Inter's offer is around 9m€ per year. Outrageous.

Gazetta speculating this morning that it would be €8.5 million so we probably settled on €9 million as opposed to the €10 million he wanted.
