Samuel Eto'o

[Coach]

BUT he did say "no matter who we bring in....Naisy will still be important...."

Yes, he did, though his reply was in the context of a question about Eto'o coming in.

I love his pressers, always keep us guessing.

... and also suggests that we won't be after another no. 10 this window.

Nor should we be, we have two outstanding 10s in Barkley and Naismith. Short term loan if possible for Isco while Ross recovers.

Why the heck is Eto'o number 5?! Is he going to be your new central defender?

He liked it, apparently. Something about number 22 being his fiances birthday as well. He really should learn English.

I'm a bit old fashioned. I hate seeing strikers with defenders squad numbers. Who remembers Gallas 10 at Arsenal? Looked stupid.

If it was still 1-11 I'd agree but they seem to be able to pick anything upto 99 these days. Bit silly like but feed their ego's whichever way they like.

He plays from the back, he's boss in attack.

you write that on a mac? it was pretty cack

Excellent signing IMO though. Will make a great squad player.

Martinez is attracting quality players it seems, far better than Dour Dave could.

Eto'o saying he could of had 22. Maybe Pienaar, being from Africa as well offered him it? A bit like Kevin Campbell offered big Dunc his number 9 shirt back, only for dunc to say, no thanks, you've earned it!

 

[Toffe3m4n]

He said during the press conference that both mentally & physically he's "never felt better". Nice to hear.

Also he gave no specific reason why he chose the no.5 shirt, he just said that "numbers change". He wanted no.22 ideally because it's the date of his and his missus' anniversary.
