Han I don't think it's important so think how will Ibra help Barca, we know he'll do what everyone expects him to do..

Now, I think its far more important to concentrate on us, and what we will lose with him gone and try to fill those gaps! And God knows it's a though mission..

Regardin Samuel Eto'o, as much as good player he is, he obviously doesn't have a sincere intention to play for Inter, an therefore this deal sucks!
He is a mercenary, and if he really wants to play for Inter the deal would have been done month ago..

Obviously, Ibra wants to play for Inter more than Eto'o does, and we're swaping them.. Kind of an irony, don't you think?

Ibra is as much a merc as eto. Ibra has the record of the longest time spend at one club being 3 years. Eto has at least spend 5 seasons at barca and before that 4 at mallorca. Its foolish to call eto a merc when defending ibra.

no it doesn't prove anything, cause not playing him completely makes sense when there is sucha big deal in the diccussion. Playing him in sucha crucial moment is the most stupid thing everyone can do.

Stefan just said that. That if he doesn't play is an indication of the likelihood of the deal going through.

I said a different thing sir. I meant this deal goes through or not it's still stupid to play him and risk an injury or anything else if sucha big deal can be done at any moment.

And I think there is bigger chance of Barcelona having worse results with Ibra than without :)

They probably will play even prettier, but with Ibra we all know it's 50/50 when it comes to scoring.

I know he will have dozens of chances to do it, but... with a lesser teams. When they will come to Real Madrid or some strong opponent in CL, it will not be the same, and every chance will matter.

The creativity they already had, with Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, but they also had Eto'o, pretty decent striker. With Ibra it can slide to much on the wrong side, and unbalance the team.

On the other hand Man Utd won with tevez, Rooney upfront so you never know, but I still prefer more ballanced team.

Mods could open the Eto'o thread in the transfers section. If you delete the new threads atleast open the old ones, where i can talk about Eto'o who is about to join us?

Ibra is as much a merc as eto. Ibra has the record of the longest time spend at one club being 3 years. Eto has at least spend 5 seasons at barca and before that 4 at mallorca. Its foolish to call eto a merc when defending ibra.

Agreed. Superstars of this level are mercenaries: C. Ronaldo, Ibra, Eto'o..

Month ago no, but now i can see Eto'o wanting to come here, i think he will give 101% just to prove Barcelona and Guardiola wrong. Too bad he is in love with the money, 9'5 it's too much, but already rejected better offers from City. According to Elmundodeportivo Mourinho already convinced him to join Inter and Eto'o see Inter as a great team.

Who the hell is this Recalcati guy? Or rather, why is he getting so much attention when 99% of his rumor is tribalfootball-esque?

lol. Messi, Henry, Iniesta, Xavi, Yaya Toure - Stankovic, Muntari, Balotelli, Adriano, Cambiasso. Ibra doesn't need to think about doing everything by himself at Barca. That will make him play with a more clearer head and that makes him a more greater monster than what he is at Inter.

Han, Emily said nothing about inside info. She just said what she has seen and made calculations out of it. To me those theories actually make some sense. I mean Zlatan being completely happy in that interview and so on. After all, he was just playing all the time with the media as now he's like "Barcelona? Ah I thought they met for Maxwell but yeah it would be interesting if they're dealing about me".

I'm not saying all Emilily's theories are correct like he did sponsorship deals in that date and so on. Or that Zlatan parked his car inside his garage BECAUSE Emily saw them moving. Come on, who fucknut thought Emily meant it THAT WAY?! Emily just said Zlatan got his car out of the sight, nothing to do with Emily. And that could be just coincidence and have nothing to do with him actually moving out of Italy.

But being his furniture carried there and all, do you guys seriously think Zlatan and Helena just happened to go to furniture shop in that day? :dielaugh: Or that his car really was in Sweden back then and not in Italy.

I'm just saying those conclusions make perfectly sense. Not that it happened exactly like Emily said, but that Zlatan really made a deal with Barcelona back then. It was all agreed there. Then it was just Zlatan to wait for Laporta to go Moratti.

Honestly who do believe they made this deal out of nothing last Thursday when Laporta and Begiristain were coming back from Ukraine or during Maxwell meetings? No, it was engineered before. When Moratti first went to Laporta in the beginning of the summer. And the player had to be dealt first, no reason to deal with the club and then notice that there are difficulties getting a deal with the player. It was set back then and now they just put the wheels in motion.

I agree; anyone who believes a complex deal like this one is finished in just a few days is beyond naive.

This deal involving Zlatan was finished in the beginning of June, if not even earlier, and the deal involved Eto'o as payment. Barcelona humiliated Eto'o and made him feel like someone who could be just used as some kind of currency. This is especially sensitive for a black man surrounded by white men, making deals over his head.


When Zlatan made the decision to move to Barcelona, Eto'o is just used as payment, and is told to get out. Eto'o HAS been treated badly, and he is now showing who is boss, and Barcelona and Inter let him save face, if that's what it takes for him to be sold.


In the end Eto'o will have shown everyone HE is the one deciding Zlatan's fate..not the other way around, which is the actual truth.


Some naive people buy this very public demonstration, others understand this is just a way to make Eto'o have some dignity. It is never a good idea to strip someone of their dignity, and Barcelona is learning their lesson right now.


I don't believe the Zlatan deal is dependent on Eto'o. He is too important to Guardiola. Also, had Villa ever been their first choice Barca would have payed the 50 million and be done with it, instead of trying to buy another more expensive player who is also second choice. The idea falls flat on its stupidity.. They are clearly not valuing Villa as much as they value Zlatan and that is why they bought him in the beginning of June and are now trying to get Villa, too.


Regarding the Fiat 500, it is fact that it was ALWAYS left parked on the street outside his house UNTIL I wrote about it here. Strange coincidence, I think. They hide it now inside the garage.


I also said before that Zlatan would be totally out of Italy BEFORE his Barcelona deal goes public, and I was right.


The bomb scare today at the Inter hotel proves this need perfectly. Zlatan is subject of fanatical adoration in Italy, and now many will hate him. Physical threats will come. I have lived in Italy myself and know their mentality.


He couldn't move his furniture and cars to Barcelona because officially there was no deal yet, and we know why this was kept secret (Eto'o getting vindictive). The fact remains however that Zlatan moved out of Italy in May and June, and that is when the deal was most probably made.


In the middle of June, when the Audi representative visited Zlatan and he accidentally told the truth about knowing where he would be playing, the deal had to have been pretty final.


I DID have inside information that I generously shared here, and those pieces of inside information helped me make my conclusions about the Zlatan deal already in June when I informed this forum and its ungrateful members of what I had witnessed.


If some choose to make fun of it and it then turns out I was right all along it is their problem.

How Eto'o can be described as a mercenary when he wants to stay at Barca earning much less money than what Inter is allegedly offering is beyond me

Eto'o is asking Barca for a payrise. If he has to move to Inter, he will only do so for a very high wage. He is a very selfish player.

I haven't got a source but apparantly Laporta said they will buy Ibra regardless of if Eto'o agrees a switch or not.

Man, I feel violated with that really.

Why can't we be in the position to say "We'll buy Eto'o regardless whether Ibra wants to be part of the deal or not!" :frustrat:

I don't think there has ever been a more frustrating summer.

Just because he won't have to worry about winning games by himself, doesn't mean he will all of a sudden become Toni in his best years when it comes to finishing. That was my point. Barca in my opinion would be 2x better with Villa than with Ibra, so I'm not suprised they chased him so hard before moving for Ibra.
