Eto'o for Henry???

[The_weatherman]

Taken from Sky sports, , it´s an amazing deal for Arsenal if true


Barcelona have offered Samuel Eto'o to Arsenal as a makeweight for Thierry Henry, according to reports in Spain.

Spanish daily Marca claims Barca are ready to part with the Cameroonian striker plus €25million (£17million) in order to bring Henry to Camp Nou.

The report says negotiations between Barca sport director Txiki Beguiristain and his Arsenal counterparts are already well advanced.

It also says the deal has met with approval from Arsene Wenger and the two players.

Eto'o's future has been the subject of speculation for some time and he has expressed a liking for the English game.

Henry has continued to be linked with Barca following Arsenal's disappointing season, even though he signed a long-term deal with The Gunners last summer.

Wenger guaranteed that his talismanic captain would not be sold earlier this month, while Henry has assured fans previously that his future remains in London.

Barcelona have yet to confirm whether there is any substance in the report, while Eto'o is currently away on international duty with Cameroon and has not commented.

Bonkers

That sounds a ridiculous deal, the equation is totally flawed

Eto'o + £17m = Henry

No Chance!

[Shaggy]

So Arsenal would receive £17m PLUS Eto'o??????? That would be an incredible deal.

It sounds nuts, doesn't it?

[Zapater]

I don't believe that for one minute.

[redbuz]

Silly season well & truly started!

[Angry Dan]

Henry and €17M for Eto'o maybe not the other way around.

[Shaggy]

It just can't possibly be true. Given their respective ages and level of ability, you'd have to value them both in roughly the same bracket - if not Eto'o as being more expensive. Must be total bollocks.

The figures could be wrong but the jist of the report could be true.

But I think if we can come up with a straight cash deal, which in turn could tempt Barca to do a straight deal with Arsenal, isn't as tempting as a swap between both clubs.

I think that's a great deal for Barca and for us. Eto'o is good but he's no TH. Him and Adeboyor up front, you'd want to watch yourselves in the stands, balls flying everywhere!! I'd gladly see us playing arsenal everyweek with Eto'o in the team. I can't watch when TH is playing, has me terrified! IMHO opinion a lot better than Eto'o. Happy to see him on the telly in Spain.

Yeah but Wenger is the master at getting top dollar for players like Overmars and Petit from Barcelona!

[Bob]

It'll be the other way around, especially given the season Henry has just had.

indeed it would, surely it'd be the other way round for Eto'o
