newsnow...but its still gossip, just italian gossip

mamma mia

Is that the Sampdoria link that had no quotes and nothing of any interest in it?

I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS FOR SAMPDORIA

 

[Nymzee]

Eto'o is going nowhere. That Sampdoria rumour was posted by an Iti journo who has been ludicrously wrong with everything of late.

 

[Jimmywhack]

Where on earth are you seeing this?

That Di Marzio fella. I was told he is pretty good with his stories, maybe wrong tho. Wouldnt be a huge surprise to see him leave would it?

Sort of yes. We have him on a 1 year deal, with option for the second. I'd take the second year without question.

 

[Nymzee]

Basically De Marzio says "they've offered Eto'o £X amount on a years contract and the ball is in the Sampdoria chairman, <insert his name> court. Everton have set deadline for response."

Pretty sure with a quick Google search and ham fisting a calculator I could write exactly the same rumour down.

The Sampdoria president tweeted this little poem - BELLA SAMP. COME SEI,ETO TI PORTEREI E TANTI GOAL RIFILEREI E SE VIENE PURE MURIEL A STAR CON NOI.! ALLORA SONO SOLO CAVOLI TUOI. FORZAAAAA basically Eto'o Ill bring you here and youll score lots of goals. Hes a bit of a dick though Ferrero as you could guess from this shouty tweet poem about some other teams player.

Google Translating that is absolutely brilliant - "BEAUTIFUL SAMP . HOW ARE YOU , I would carry ETO AND MANY RIFILEREI GOAL AND HE IS PURE MURIEL A STAR WITH US . ! THEN ARE ONLY YOUR SPROUTS . FORZAAAAA"

I know they're looking to do a deal with Udinese for Luis Muriel (very good player) since they just lost Gabbiadini to Napoli. However Italian presidents are notorious for chatting so much jarg it's unreal.

Not feeling Lennon at 7m. A loan maybe
Seems like atsu has been promised more game time so that would rule out replacing etoo when he leaves I would imagine

Agree with the lennon situation. Id take him on loan but surely at 7 mil there is better value out there

If we have 7mil pse dont waste it on Neil Lennon.

 

[micknick]

Eto'o is being linked with Inter not Sampdoria apparently.

I'd take Lennon on loan NEA

 

[Ashtonian]

would we really sell eto'o? We arent doing well but my god he is the most talented footballer i have seen for many a year.

I don't think we will but growing opinion here disagrees. Fact is, who replaces him?

 

[micknick]

I dont think we'll sell unless he really wants out.

 

[ijjysmith]

Why would Spurs loan us anyone!?

 

[micknick]

Why would Spurs loan us anyone!?

Why would any club loan anyone to anyone..?! a loan can be a part of a purchase- look at Barry, Arteta etc etc. A try before you buy, if the loan works out then a fee has already been agreed and its done.

 

[royvernon39]

I have to disagree about Etoo.

He is a number 9 not a midfielder and although RM has a thing about playing people
out of position it simply has not worked with Etoo.

He has a contract to 2016. Another fairly long contract for an old bloke. You have to guess that he is on 50 plus a week. Time to get him off the pay-roll.
