Well Martinez has just scotched them mate so I'm guessing not.

Didn't see that he's dismissed the rumours - cheers mate haha.

I think Eto'o is still very important for us, before the end of the season I guarantee he'd have changed/won some more games for us.

Would be gutted if he left

A bit odd if he leaves only half a season.

We made a tiny profit.

The point being? You said that you couldn't see anyone leaving after half a season. No mention of profit. If a fee is involved then there'll be profit.

Don't know about anyone else but I think Eto'o is going to be key to us doing well in the Europa League. Really don't want us to bin him off just yet.

exactly, not many of our players have the experience of getting down to the business end of the competition

I hope he stays for the 2 years, and then, if he's finished as a player, give his apostrophe a one year extension and auction it off at charity events etc.

Umm what I mean is letting him leave is odd in partincular we have to find a replacement. If we let him leave without a replacement what is the point really？Just for the tiny profit like what, 500k?

Losing Eto'o as a player doesn't bother me all that much if we're going to replace him.

The more worrying prospect is that Martinez hasn't succeeded in selling his vision, or that things aren't gelling.

I've read the reports which do seem to add 'some' validity to this rumour, however I would be surprised if it does actually occur.

During any poor run of games you always get rumours emerging of players leaving, people unhappy and disagreements etc.

People try to find a reason for our short comings and their imaginations run wild. Some may be true, yet most are not (pure speculation).

Personally, I think this will turn out to be something along the lines of the latter. Replacements him would seem more effort than it's worth.

However, if it is true then so be it - as long as we find a valid replacement or use the funds to strengthen a weakened position. Wide player?

The last time we saw him, or 2nd to last, was at left mid ffs. Give him a run out in a position he can actually make a difference. He's produced some game changing moments in glimpses this year and is just a top player to have around. I'd be gutted if he went.
