Samuel Eto'o

[banno]

Looks more and more like we are evolving into a 4-3-3 formation with a front 3 of Lukaku/Eto'o/Naismith. I honestly believe those 3 should be given a chance to gel and see what they can do as our main attack threat. Problem is where the hell does that leave Barkley and Super Kev? At the moment you can't drop Naismith

and we cannot drop super Kev no way.

Eto'o class showed in those short few minutes whilst being far from match fit. The class creativity from him suprised me, although it shouldn't of done really. This is a guy who's won numerous awards playing for barca ffs!

Great signing.

Can't wait to get a run going with some normal fixtures!

Its great to see Rom and Eto'o linking up together and getting to know each other so soon, Rom will learn so much off him in the next 2 years which will benefit him massively.

and we cannot drop super Kev no way.

It was great to see his attitude when we were 2-0 down today. Deserved that goal.

 

[Woolly Blue]

WOOL.

Errr, you make it sound like a bad thing ?

Anyway, Eto'o looked good today. and hopefully a lot more to come. Could well be a very astute signing.

I was nervous when we signed Eto'o, but his class shone through today. His touch is amazing, was lucky not to contribute to a goal as well as scoring an incredible header (I don't think I've seen such a precise header from that far out before).

He's gonna get at least 10 in the prem this year and tear it up in the Europa.

VERY impressed with Eto'o...more than a slotter, he is a creator.
Excellent signing.

I love him already

I'm struggling to think of the last time we had a better striker. REEEEALLY struggling.

 

[EverBlue86]

Eto'os movement is alot like Remy 's, personally I feel that sort of striker suits us more than the lukaku/bony type simply as we don't have a coutinho type player to make those through balls, players like eto and remy have the pace to collect the ball and run at defences and not require the ball releasing to them

Denis?

 

[Boss_Blue]

My like wasn't an ironic one either

Miss you Stracq' xxx

Amazed how much pace he still has, that was my only concern but this is already looking a great signing. Superb transfer window all in all.
