Looking forward to the England game tonight

(is it just me who can see the feckin Germans winning on penaltys)

And the money saved on Eto'o could be spent on a solid gold bathroom for the Sheikh's football pitch sized motorhome. WTF do you give a schit about value for money for? You get Eto'o and you're getting a guy with 2 CL medals from the present European Champions. You'd be getting the guy who just helped Barcelona beat United in the final. You get a guy who's scored 108 goals on 145 games. You'd be getting a guy who has scored in two CL finals. With Adebayor you'd be getting a bit of a donkey who's had a couple of good seasons at Arsenal.

One of those signings would be an awesome signing. One of them would be a "Meh" signing". But yeah, worry about the billionaire's bank balance and try to make out your better off with Adebayor.

if eto'o is worth the type of wages they are quoting in the press, i shudder to think what torres, villa, ronaldo, and gerrard are worth....................

England U21: Loach, Cranie, Richards, Onuoha, Gibbs, Cattermole, Muamba, Noble, Milner, Walcott, Johnson.
Subs: Lewis, Taylor, Stearman, Gardner, Rodwell, Tomkins, Mancienne, Driver, Rose.

West Ham player as captain. Good omen. We last won this in 1984.

I can only compare torres with Eto'o. Eto'o was far superior to Torres in Spain so I guess the Spaniard would be worth less

Bollox. Guess the score. As suspected we're well short up front. Walcott isolated and no-one filling in. Get a grip, Psycho. It's not rocket surgery.

Very different now from then. Eto'o is older than Torres, Torres has improved so much since his Atletico days. Back then he was 'potential', a diamond in a sh'it team, since then his value has probably tripled compared to what we signed him for.

Torres would cost more to sign that Eto'o, seen as Eto'o has a year left on his deal and is a few years older. Plus, I think Torres is a better player now, but that's just me.

Very true. I cant believe that City dont have some salary structure and are prepared to make each new signing the highest paid player in the league. I'd imagine that Eto'o would "only" be paid the same as Robinho and Tevez. I'd also expect that there would be some parity when it comes to players such as Barry, Santa Cruz, Ireland, Bellamy & De Jong. Otherwise it would be a recipe for player strife.

Doesnt matter too me its not our money and he will improve us no end up wiht tvez in the middle and eto and robinho either side with the 3 across the midfeild (Barry, ireland and Swp) Wouldnt like to see the goals scored at home) actually yeah i would

Jesus, is there a Citeh conference today?

no its just that united and liverpool realise there going backwards

2-0 to the Germans now, horrendous keeping.

that was a shocking peice of keeping

Goodnight Vienna. Or possibly Berlin. Pearce hasn't changed anything. They're running on empty. Disappointing.
