Samuel Eto'o

[Dithering Dougie]

His work rate and attitude are very commendable, but his wondering left us with no focal point up front and every time the ball went forward it was easily picked off by their defence. The same thing happened in Russia, and we looked a better balanced team when Lukaku came on and provided an outlet up top.

He's still a good player, but he needs telling to stay further up the field and leave the midfield to their jobs.

give him more time Martinez ffs

....he comes over as a top pro and great influence on those around him. Not certain that this is the case, but I loved how he was talking to Barkley in the warm up and again as he came out of the tunnel at half-time. His playing record demands respect and the indication is that he uses this to good effect in developing his team mates.

He's not a bad player either.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

What a guy. I wish he was my mate.

Still hasn't sunk in he plays for us

 

[Slipstream]

I've heard he's hung like a stallion.

 

[badger blue]

He's better than super mario!!!!! Lol.

 

[BluenosePaul]

Absolute top class and seems to love playing for us. What a signing!

 

[OKEvertonian]

From Jelavic and Big Vic to Samuel and Lukaku in less than 18 months. What a time to be alive.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

He probably has the best close ball control of any player I've seen play for Everton. He's just incredible with the ball at his feet.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

He's gonna be of major importance for us this season. One of the buys of the season.

Having Eto'o at Everton, somehow I still can't quite believe it.

That man just oozes class, brilliant, so unlucky not to get his hattrick

Is Sammy the best payer we have ever had at Goodison?

I don't mean as he is now of course, a few years past his prime but still tremendous.

But in terns of skill at his peak and his mega standing in world football?

I think he must be.

 

[Eggs]

...it would be easy for him to have an 'I'm a superstar' attitude, but he still plays with enthusiasm and passion. He's still a very good player but what an influence he must be off the pitch. Imagine turning up for training and seeing him get out of the car.

Dixie Dean, no contest.
