Samuel Eto'o

[Neiler]

It's like comparing Lineker and Beardsley in my mind, two completely different forwards with different strengths.

Better comparison is Eto Vs say Sturridge!

BTW, putting Eto'o pomp v Rooney pomp aside; the original assertion was Rooney at 17 trumps Eto'o at 33 in an Everton shirt.

Anyone who thinks the former wouldn't have slotted in and pulled this present Everton team to heights greater than what Eto'o is presently capable of achieving for us needs sectioning.

Most important thing mate is that he's here, its another signing and one that should be able to contribute on the pitch and off. Regardless who is better than who ( and tbh my love for Rooney died a long long time ago ) its another positive step and closer to the 6-7 players Martinez said he required to flesh out the squad. Eto'o wasnt top of my list but its great to see so many fans buzzing about it and in turn thats made me a lot more positive about what he can bring to the club.

Reckon he's got a bigger wang than Distin, Dave?

Oh yeah, it's all good in that respect. C- window to a B window now, IMO.

LOL, are you just doing a parody of yourself now?

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

I panicked forever before Koné's shirt number was announced just to be lumbered with this abomination a year later. FIVE?!

Eh??

Each post is getting more bizarre.

Thats a bloody good window then mate. Think i had it on a B before Eto'o. Want another cam before any gold stars are awarded but its been a nice change that we have actually been able to talk about transfers instead of sales or no pot to piss in. We have been starved for years of this type of window so i am going to enjoy it and see if we can sneak another 1 or 2 in which will make us serious contenders for a tin cup this year.

Absolutely chuffed at this signing. Could be a master stroke by Martinez. Samuel Eto'o FFS.

1 or 2 more ace signings/loans and I'll be quietly confident for us finishing in the top 4 this year. Buzzing !

My last post on this cos it's all hypothetical and a bit pointless.

Rooney in his pomp was a much better all round player than Eto'o was in his. Eto'o is primarily a slotter. That's it.

This I totally disagree with.

Thats different but still a tough call as we haven't seen Eto'o in EFC blue. But yeah, the young Rooney playing for us with all our top players now, with Martinez managing him, Barkley being his bezzie and Baines putting it on a sixpence for him every game. Yeah he would have thrived at his beloved Everton and we would have won everything in football. But to be honest if Eto'o can just be a shade less incredible than that, then we'll have done brilliantly here.

Who cars though mate, he's signing on to be our second choice striker in case lukaku goes down. People are just pointing out he's had a pretty illustrious career is all. More illustrious than Rooney arguably.

I can settle on that!

Why would we play with one midfielder when that's arguably the strongest part of our squad
