That 3-1 game against Burnley he was simply unplayable. I so badly wanted him to get his hatrick at the end when he took it round the keeper and hit it wide.

You gave us a couple of good memories Samuel, but ultimately you are a tosser.
 

According to RAWK we were all giddy over Eto'o's leaving message??

Just because they fall for that nonsense they think everyone does.

Ultimately, he was a big, big disappointment.
 

Samuel Eto’o’s copy and paste ‘Dear John’ letter to Everton and Sampdoria fans
by Anorak | 2nd, July 2015





Welcome to Turkish club Antalyaspor, Samuel Eto’o. It’s been a wrench for the star player to leave Sampdoria. So sad is it that Samuel has written the club’s fans a letter:

Dear Blucerchiati,

I’ve been bless to spend these past few months with you.

To my pleasure, I have discovered here a crowd of warm, passionate, affectionate and supportive fans… It’s time for me to leave, but wherever I go, I will always remember what it is to be in a place where football is not only a passion but a way to keep a family together.

You will always be in my heart.

Yours Sincerely,

Samuel Eto’o.

Eto’o is Mr Sincerity – just as he was when he left Everton. It was wwrnech to leve EVerton.

Dear Toffees,

I’ve been blessed to spend these past few months with you.

To my pleasure, I have discovered here a crowd of warm, passionate, affectionate and supportive fans… It’s time for me to leave, but wherever I go, I will bring with me all the memories we’ve built together.

You will always be in my heart.

Yours Sincerely,

Samuel Eto’o.

Sincerely, Samuel ‘Dear John’ Eto’o.
 

Eto'o can be a bit of a tit in the dressing room but his heart is in the right place,

Eto’o feels that the escalating crisis in west Africa, which has gripped north-east Nigeria and spilled into north-west Cameroon – Eto’o’s Cameroon – Niger and Chad is in danger of being ignored; of somehow being brushed off the agenda as the global media focus on the situation in Syria.

Eto’o feels that the escalating crisis in west Africa, which has gripped north-east Nigeria and spilled into north-west Cameroon – Eto’o’s Cameroon – Niger and Chad is in danger of being ignored; of somehow being brushed off the agenda as the global media focus on the situation in Syria. It cannot be allowed to happen, Eto’o says on more than one occasion, and he has resolved to make sure it does not. Through the Fundación Privada Samuel Eto’o, which was established in 2006 with the purpose of raising awareness of the issues faced by Africa, he has launched the Yellow Whistle Blower FC initiative.

The idea behind the yellow whistle was to create a symbol of the victims of Boko Haram. The yellow has been taken from the star in the middle of the Cameroonian flag while the whistle is a metaphor for the population in the affected areas, many of whom are cattle farmers or nomads; the whistle is a part of their everyday life. Eto’o, who plays for Antalyaspor in Turkey, has won everything during a glittering 18-year professional career, most notably four Champions Leagues and two Africa Cup of Nations titles. But the football achievements of the former Barcelona, Internazionale, Chelsea and Everton player appear as nothing more than a platform to make his voice heard during times as desperate as these.

“What we want is for people to become more sensitive and aware of the problem that we have in west Africa,” Eto’o says. “It’s a fact that, unfortunately, it is not spoken about a great deal. What we are trying to do, by whatever means possible, is to make sure that it is talked about and noticed. “This is a crisis that doesn’t only affect my country, Cameroon. It’s something that is affecting the whole region and many other countries around the world. The fact is that it is a big problem, which isn’t being talked about enough but is causing huge pain and damage.”

Eto’o’s Foundation, in conjunction with Oxfam and the UNHCR – The United Nations’ Refugee Agency – hosted the first Yellow Whistle Ball at Claridge’s hotel in London on Tuesday night. Some of Eto’o’s footballing friends were there, such as Deco, Louis Saha, Habib Beye and Benoît Assou-Ekotto, and tens of thousands of pounds were raised via the auction of various lots. One of them was a training session with Eto’o. The money will be given to refugee camps in Nigeria and Cameroon; to non-governmental organisations that are working in the field to help those who have been displaced. According to Gonzalo Vargas Llosa, the head of the UNHCR in the United Kingdom, two million Nigerians have been internally displaced from their homes, with 170,000 of them having crossed into neighbouring countries. The global forced migration figure has reached 60 million – the highest since the second world war.

You'd think he could get better players than Saha, Habib Beye and Assou-Ekotto to turn up, especially with the players he has played with during his career.
