Dear eds
Can you comfirm us that we are not interested in eto
He is expensive
He is 32
Never played in PL
So it will be waste of money
Odemeingie would be better option then him atleast he got PL experience and very cheap
Or re sign drogba
My main question here was to ask if rumours about eto are true or not
Also
Any update on wayne rooney?
Do we have any realistic chance of signing him?
Thanks a lot
Fahad {Ed044's Note - 1. I can't help about Eto'o. 2. There is still interest in Rooney.}

So what if Eto'o is 32? He's a great player and could do a job for us for 2 seasons maybe, and he's got a great relationship with Jose.
Drogba was older than that when he won us the champions league!

He wouldn't be my preferred choice but i'd sooner have Eto'o over Ba and Torres. If our striking options were Rooney, Eto'o and Lukaku rather than Torres, Ba and Lukaku i'd be a very happy boy. -James13.

He is also an absolute goal machine and only turned 32 in March. 3 years younger than Lamps. I'd take him on a 2 year contract no problem. - James13

I think it's more Eto'o wants to play for Chelsea, than Chelsea want Eto'o.
He said:-
'There is only one Jose Mourinho. I have played under a lot of great coaches - but there is no other character in the game like Jose.
'He is one of the best coaches in the world - and we had a lot of success together at Inter Milan. I would like to have the chance to play under him again - because it is never boring when Jose is around.'
*HINT HINT JOSE PLEASE BUY ME*

Another person worrying about how expensive players are and second guessing newspaper stories. To make it worse second guessing Jose.
Give it a rest

I'd have snapped up Eto'o 4/5 years ago, not now. I know it's just press reading more in to a small snippet of an interview (like the one posted above) and I'm sure Anzhi wouldn't mind moving on a 32 year old on 300k a week!

Yes he is 32 but he has a lot of experience and won the champions league 3 times, and would apprantley take wages of about £75k a week and on a free transfer,
Odemeingie = are you mental?

Rooney to sign for Chelsea 40m, Friday

We need a goal scorer and he undoubtedly scores goals. He wouldn't be hugely expensive and it seems that he's available. Looks like a good fit to me.

Def take Eto'o.
fire sale at anzhi.
has scored better than a goal every 2 games in 3 different leagues for well over 5 years. he can play false 9 which none of our other options can do.

'False 9' implies no striker. Eto'o is definitely a striker. And why would we want to play all this rubbish 'false 9' anyway? We're not Barca, Spain OR Bayern.

It's about having options and breaking teams down that park the bus, playing between the lines which none of our current strikers can do. Lukaku is the only one who can score regularly btw
