Samuel Eto'o

[ricer10]

Rather have Wellbeck..... but in Roberto we must trust !

9 goals in 21 league games, 16 starts. 6 assists.

'Not doing the business at the top level'

Okay.

3 of those in one game, only scored at home. 6 in 20 looks a lot different, and three of those goals were scored in routs over the opposition by 3+ goals.

Stats don't tell the whole story with him - he looked lost on many an occasion at Chelsea.

If he rolls back the clock four years he'll be a top signing, and I'm not saying he won't be, but I'm just not convinced right off the bat, that's all.

 

[FTY]

Surely the most successful player to have ever played for us by a huge margin?

 

[griffla]

Aye roughly maybe. Eto'o to start Europa/cup games and when Rom is knackered?

Yeah this will take the load off Rom, could really help him - remember he scored a lot of his West Brom goals coming off the bench. If he needs a game out to recover then Eto'o can start and visa versa. Boss.

Didn't realise goals were worth less if you scored them at home.

Happy days

You can't just disregard 3 goals because they were a hattrick ffs. Scoring a hattrick is a good thing.

 

[SingBlue]

He'll earn us more in marketing opportunities then we pay him anyway.

Yes, with our Marketing Department always having their finger on the pulse, looking for any opportunity...

 

[Roztitute]

The lurkers have spoken.
122 for, 27 against with 10 fine people opting to prefer Cheese on Toast.

Even @Del is making positive noises.
I'm going for a lie down.

Surely not?

 

[Tubey]

If this Eto'o turns up 10 times this season, it's a good signing - so let's see how it goes.

 

[allen]

Eto'o has bags of experience.

Even if he just sits hunched in a chair by the fire and tells tales of his exploits of old like some sort of football Yoda, he'll be of value to our squad.

Then he'll die, and his body will disappear as his blanket crumples to the floor.

 

[orly]

He's won a lot, lot more than that bell.

He was won the CL three times

I'm not, but scoring one in three games instead is greater consistency, that's all.

The biggest benefit of him signing is for the Europa League IMO.

 

[pfim]

He gives us more options up front, it's a good signing. Perhaps he plays a role like Naismith did on Saturday, with Lukaku as a wide forward.

 

[andy4efc]

Pfft... more like Samuel Netto'o

That's a lidl cringeworthy mate.
