Samuel Eto'o

[Toffeelover]

Dirty boy.

Speaking from personal experience are we Titus?

 

[Boss_Blue]

I've just walked into my house, checked my phone and seen we've all but signed Samuel fricking Eto'o....



Shiz just got real lids

People are really complaining about his wages being around 80k like it comes out of their own pocket or something.

The fella is one of the most successful, accomplished players of his time who held the mantle of wolrds best strikers for years.

Not only does he still score goals but his experience, know how and all around BRAND is mega important for our club.

He will still SCORE and will still do well.

I agree.

Even at £80K a week the deal makes a whole lot of sense. I'm still amazed how much Everton has approved as a club during the last 10 years. Just a few years ago it would have been impossible to imagine Everton signing players like Lukaku and Eto'o.

I don't think he was ever that marketable beyond Africa, and believing that the Everton PR team even knows where Africa is would be pushing it lol

Tubey lad, give it up.

Samuel Eto'o in a Everton shirt. That is boss.

 

[heatmeiser]

I suggest this song (to the tune of " The blessing of the knife" by Chemical Burns)

He walks like a neck HOOHAH
He scores four goals HOOHAH
Saturday player goal shoot goal!
He's Daniel Eto'o but prefers Samuel
HOOHAH!!!

Is right!

I'd be happy with a striker of Eto'o's (how boss does that look like in writing?) stature. I'm sure he will be made aware that Rom is our undisputed number one striker, but he'd get good money from us, and after all, after his spell in Russia, he's not all that needy. So anyway, he could add some versatility to our strike force, which would do us good, and he's more than capable of scoring a number of goals. His last season at Chelsea was fine too, I just had a look at his statistics, 12 goals and 7 assists in 1800 minutes, that equals almost one scorerpoint in a game, which is excellent.

One scorerpoint?

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.

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

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

It's what you read into it though, and I believe Tubey makes a good point. That a) 3 goals in one game is, yes, excellent but it means that for a greater number of games he didn't score at all; if that also means he didn't contribute at all, then he has made a very good point. What if we only get a handful of great games in lieu of many more medicore ones? We already have a striker that delivers us that!
and that b) Scoring more at home implies he's a fair weather player, much like the hattrick. That when the going is he good he will plunder the spoils no problem, but in the trickier games when more is asked of him, he's found wanting. Now, these are just extrapolations Tubey made from those figures, they weren't claimed as guarentees. But it's worth giving them consideration instead of dismissing them out of hand.

 

[barneygumble]

Wouldn't we lose him in January for 2 months for the ACoN too? Along with Atsu?

 

[FTY]

Tubey lad, give it up.

...na na na na na na na na naaa

 

[mccole]

He is a very good option from the bench and he will grab 10 goals this season guarantee
