More Eto'o to Liverpool Talk

[Maestro]

he will never ina million years go to the Chavs mate......he hates them with a passion.


im liking some of those quotes though. He loved the noise and songs at Anfield.

Hopefully Waldorf & Statler dig deep and go for him....he is exactly what we need.

Are you calling George & Tom muppets?

Benitez's reaction was: "Samuel is very clever, normally everyone wants to play alongside Steven (Gerrard) or Xabi (Alonso). But we can talk about players in the next few months.

"But Samuel Eto'o is a good player, and so is Stevie. It would be normal they would want to play together. But it is just speculation, at the moment it means nothing."

That is not a no.

Transfer speculation: Samuel Etoo to Liverpool (I have a contract here until 2010 and I am happy)

* Speculation 'facts'
* Player: Samuel Etoo
* From: Barcelona
* To: Liverpool
* Cost: I have a contract here until 2010 and I am happy
* Source: Daily Mirror
* Likely?: 1/5

How does one write a transfer rumour piece including a quote that the player is not looking to leave his current club? If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

Working along similar yet inverse lines, the tabloid media choose to trumpet loudly as possible anything linking said player to a very popular club, which provokes that club’s supporters into an avid perusal of said article, leaving out the “I’m not leaving” bit until the very end. Classic psychology, really…

Latest example of the genre, Samuel Eto’o expressed his admiration for All Things Liverpool after Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League by that club. Add into the mix that Eto’o, a more than volatile sort of fellow, is known to be, what is the expression, “unsettled” at the Camp Nou, which could mean anything up to and including his panties in a severe twist, always a safe assumption with Eto’o. Put a famous footballer’s expressions of admiration for a “big” club into the mix with said player being very unsettled, and add a dash of his manager also looking to leave, and you have achieved transfer nirvana, let the rumours run amuck.

“We played at Anfield and it was very loud, with lots of different songs. I like that. Football is different in England. It has a place in English hearts.” Well, of course Eto’o must be looking to make the move. Never mind that his advisors and the player himself express differently within the very same article itself.

”I have a contract here until 2010 and I am happy with that.” Oh, the inclusion of this sort of thing is subtle, for football culture is rife with “votes of confidence” and pledges of allegiance to the badge precisely two minutes before firings or scurrying to local rival clubs for a higher wage packet.

Transfer rumour speculation, where the sky is the limit, reality telly has nothing on a well-written transfer rumour piece…

Are you calling George & Tom muppets?

No. Not at all

i thought we had all agreed that that was going to be their nickname.

Obviously you have missed that thread.

still don't see what they need nicknames that are longer than their actual names for, whats wrong with George and Tom, or G & T?

No - we agreed they don't need nicknames, because George and Tom are ok.

Didn't the Liverpool board veto a Houllier move for Eto'o claiming the cost was too much for another 'unproven' talent? You couldn't lame the decision at the time though after the failures of many of Ged's big signings.

Different board now I know, but it would still be ironic now if the club had to spend big to land him.

My mate's lad was the 10 yr old mascot led out at Anfield by Et'oo (true) and he asked him "why don't you come and play for a decent side?" to which he replied "i'm coming to play here for Liverpool" What MORE evidence do you need?
