Samuel Eto'o

If we get some decent money for him then I won't have any objections, but if it's free or £1-2m I think it'd be stupid. Even when he's not playing great, he's still lightyears ahead of every other player we have in terms of raw ability.

Shame it hasn't worked out

A few memorable moments aside he's never really seemed to fit in the side

Wish him well

Got to be trouble or FFP maybe? Perhaps we can't have more wages and Roberto has decided that having a decent defender or goalkeeper instead of a 4th number 10 on massive wages might be a better idea....

Samuel Eto'o
Gone quicker than a smack heads giro.

Quids in. Not much point in having him if we're playing him on the wing.

Now spend the fee/wages wisely Bob.

Can he at least leave behind one of his fabulous fur coats as a memento of our brief romance?

If the rumours are true and he is against Martinez, great get rid now.

If not, weird move.

Great player, past his best, should have been used as an impact player but ended up strolling round the pitch in midfield passing to no-one in recent games

If it's true it'll be a shame as he seems to enjoy being here when you see him warming up and talking to and smiling with fans, ball boys, anybody near him. Just hope we get to see him score again at GP if he's going this month, would have liked him to get the winner in the derby, but seems unlikely now.

Kone's return to fitness has pushed him down the pecking order.

Eto'o probably has a couple of exit clauses written into his contract. Coming to Everton was a risk for both parties and there are probably agreements in place that if Eto'o wanted to leave he could do so.
I think that maybe he wants to be somewhere more familiar. It may be his family had difficulty settling. I think that if he leaves it will not be for football related issues.

I'd be very surprised if that was true.

Mikey_Fitzgerald · January 13, 2015

I was sceptical at first, but I've loved having him at the club

Maybe Martinez needs to free up some wages for new signings?

Maybe, just rumours like, no one knows what the score is.

It's frustrating that we just haven't used him properly, seeing him completely lost, shoved out on the wing was the most annoying thing.

Thanks for single handedly destroying Burnley and thanks for rescuing a point in Russia!
