Eto’o snubs Spurs
June 11, 2008
Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o has turned a big money move to North London team Tottenham Hotspur.
What did he say about Spurs…
“Tottenham and I hope the English excuse me for saying this, is a club in the middle of the table and I need more.”
He then spoke about other possibilities…
“I have a contract with Barcelona until 2010 and I feel well here. But I cannot exclude the option of Inter.”
The news about Inter will alert Chelsea who are also keen on signing the Cameroonian ace. The Blues have been linked with a £22m offer but without no manager they have to be wary in case the knew manager doesn’t like them.
Etoo on way to Spurs?
May 26, 2008
Tottenham have reportedly outbidded Italian giants Ac and Inter milan. They have offered a staggering £24m which is £8m more than either of the other clubs.
Will the deal go through..?
It is going to take some time but Spurs are leading the race. They know the fight isnt over as they cannot offer Champions League football next season where as Inter can. Another barrier is the wages of Etoo. He wants about £107,000 a week and that would have to break Totenhams wage structure.
Would Eto go to Spurs..?
There is a mini revolution going on at Spurs and its hard to say if he wants to be part of it. Also if any bigger clibs from England come then he will certainly be more tempted by them. So it all depends if he gets any better offers. If not then i think he would want to show that he can do it in England and that he is one of the best strikers in the world.
If Spurs do get him then it would give them a realistic chance of not just challenging the top four but challenging for the title.
