UF Quick Throw: Eto'o No Go.

Samuel Eto'o has missed the opportunity to become the richest player in the Premier League. Manchester Arabia set a deadline and that has passed. It was reported that Eto'o was to earn 250k a week! Arabia top dog Garry Cook tonight announced "The circumstances surrounding him were such that a deal couldn't be completed."

It looks as if Eto'o has joined Kaka in the "I have some credibility" camp. Who will Manchester Arabia sling their cash at next? David Villa? I'm sure we won't have to wait long to find out.

Don't disagree with what you've posted, but if the real issue is Eto'o getting a piece of the transfer fee, Barca might be better off re-opening the deal and giving him a cut, which I'm reasonably certain Citeh would consider should it happen. Citeh needs some truly "world-class" player to make the first move to Eastlands (different, but similar in its way to Pudge Rodriguez going to the Detroit Tigers), and Eto'o would fill that position. I don't think anyone sees Robinho as a guy who knew WTF he was doing, but an Eto'o, or maybe Terry, would make it "acceptable" for others to go there...

Also, nice of Canada to give El Salvador a chance to advance out of the group stage in the Gold Cup (not that I really care, but I like Cinderellas in my competitions...)

Also, its nice that my Spanish vocabulary is very slowly returning courtesy of the Gold Cup. And to think that I thought it served absolutely no purpose whatsoever...
