old darwen blue Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I suppose it does sound hystorically bizarre however there is a lot of money in the former Soviet republics and so I wonder how much they are offering to pay him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only 27 though...he'd be effectively ending his competitive career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste B Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Does he care if he's getting that kind of money ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony gale's mic Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 QUOTE (Ste B @ Jul 18 2008, 01:07 ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does he care if he's getting that kind of money ? Still if this goes through would be one of football's biggest ever shock signings. The man scored 77 in 109 games for Barca, 27 years old, at his peak, I'm sure could command upwards of £100k a week from many of Europe's top clubs... And while his wage might be even higher, surely not being in any sort of prominent competition anymore would have a massive impact on his sponsorship potential.

philipl Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Don't forget the Uzbek who is trying to buy Arsenal. Perhaps Eto'o is his peace offering to Peter Hill-Wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neekoy Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Most ludicrous thing I have ever heard I rate Eto very very highly, on his day probably the best striker in the world. This is crazy talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovermatt Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Bizarre stuff. Aside from the scandalous wages, has the guy no self-respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Southampton Rover Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Wasn't there talk of him a few years ago quitting Barca and playing in UAE? I doubt this will happen. He's in his prime and he will go to a European club without doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in his prime and he will go to a European club without doubt. The fact he's travelled all the way to Tashkent and is even considering it is a shock.

Rovermatt Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 It's really weird. He could easily command his current wage level (if not higher) at any number of top clubs in Western Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It would be hilarious if it was true. I'm guessing there's some oil, gas or weapons billionaire behind this move. The sort of guy Panorama would do a show on if he bought a Premiership club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
