Samuel Eto'o

Could we get Ibrahimovic?

Ibrahimovic will be 33 in October. Puts the Eto'o signing in a different light don't you think?

It's 1-1 in the Derby, Lukaku is out on his feet after putting a shift in, Naismith has run himself into the ground and bagged the equalizer. Martinez looks to the bench..

Who'd you rather see Eto'o, Kone, Long, Vellios or Gueye?

Exactly. This is a no-brainer for me. 2 years of him working with our younger strikers will also benefit them massively. Plus by signing a two year deal, if its not working out we'll still be able to recoup some money if we need to Lucas Neil him.

I'd be all for playing the youngsters if they were good. But all the evidence so far points to Hope being absolutely poo

Would love to hear this "evidence" mate

Calculated risk, Balotelli v etoo. I know what I would choose.

Balotelli has more risk and more upside. We can't afford that big a risk. The other club almost has to after loosing their last nutcase.

There's quite a lot of wrong about this post.

And unfortunately a little right.

Just come back through Manc airport, he was not far behind me in the border control queue. Some Manc lad was harassing him for a selfie so I'm sure that will appear on twitter. He met up with two suits who were vaguely recognisable.

Don't know if it's been mentioned because be arsed reading this whole thread, but Eto'o is one of the top strikers of the last decade. This can only be good for helping lukaku's development.

Kray Twins ?

Now I don't want to be a killjoy and I love a black magic gag as much as the next man, ask anyone, but Tanzania and Cameroon are two different places.

....good for me. Yes it raises our profile, yes its good we can attract this type but more important is that he offers us something a little different. In a way he's a hybrid in that he has the mobility to be a lone striker and is also a sniffer. Hope he still has hunger to play, hope he's a good pro and influence. If so, he could be cheap at the price.

The evidence is actually watching him in football matches, mate

Love the fact that certain people were moaning that we needed to sign players and the board and RM were letting us down if we didn't and now we are set to sign arguably the biggest name to play for us in over 20 years and they are saying the board and RM are mad to waste money/take such a risk.

Only at Everton. Guess you can please some of the people some of the time and the negative chumps never.

Bilyaletdinov definitely a bigger name mate, aside from being very wrong I don't see why you're placing sure emphasis on name length.

Fair point. Tanzania are rubbish at football. Cameroon were boss until their squad got a bit old. Oh.

Pfft same thing.

We need a song for him.

I've completely come round on this. Was fully against it now I'm fully for it.

Great squad addition!
