Samuel Eto'o joining FC Everton. Just pmsl at that. Remarkable. Moyes would have preferred to go after Dickov than Eto'o in his tenure.
40K a week for Eto'o isn't bad at all actually
I agree, that is a good deal if it's true
I thought he'd be on much more

Really?! I mean really?
We're talking about the same person here right? Hope or E'too? Bet that keeps Martinez awake at night...
Very possibly, I meant backup at the club rather than on the pitch i.e not in direct competition with Rom, I wasn't clear there sorry. But I like the options this gives us. With Naismith in good form we may have Eto'o on the bench or vice versa with options to swap out Rom or the second forward. Either way we'll go from very limited options currently (which showed on Saturday) to the ability to react or shake up a game with 3 forwards who are all capable slotters.
SSN now reporting Eto'o expected to arrive for medical at Everton.
My point was never that Hope was better than Eto'o
My point was that rather than bringing in an older player for big money as a short term fix, maybe it would be better to cultivate our younger players with a long term view
That being said, it sounds like we've got Eto'o at a very reasonable wage considering his "name value", so it's not as urgent a reason to be wary of the deal as I first thought

The only time this club have won a piece of silverware I was far too young to remember... Last time I was this excited for the future was after our champions league qualification, we know how that turned out...
Roberto is really messing with my emotions more than Moyes ever did.

With all due respect, Moyes didn't even have the funds to bid for that dud. How quickly we forget...

I will find you and consensually bum you
You could argue that Martinez is doing both (with the young lids that are ready, Barkley and Stones)
Indeed
Martinez has the luxury of a bigger budget to work with
That being said, can you picture Moyes allowing Barkley, Stones and McCarthy to play as much as they have? Being below 25 was not a good place to be in a Moyes squad towards the end of his run
However, if Martinez and Kenwright have truly managed to sign a man like Eto'o for 40K a week, that's a very shrewd bit of negociating and they deserve credit for doing so
It could go easily either way. He is 33 after all and won loads at clubs playing at a much higher level than ours, so his motivation may not be as sharp, same with his waning skills. He wasn't all that for Chelsea last season for example.
But this is 2014 and everything is the best ever ever ever so pipe down me being a grey cloud. We are signing Samuel Eto'o, one of the best forwards of the past decade. In Royal Blue. For your perusal at Goodison.
Signing boss players has a weird effect on lids and makes them type things like an utter mong so I'm going going to fall into that trap. If he turns out sound then Everton will be totes #amazeballs though yo.
