Al ittihad offer huge £3.5m for a ten day loan of samuel etoo

Barcelona sports chief Txiki Begiristain has told Al Ittihad that £3.5 million won't be enough to sign Samuel Eto'o on-loan.
The Asian champs want Eto'o for next month's Club World Championship in Japan and are ready to offer £3.5 million for a ten day loan.

But Begiristain said: "Eto'o is going to play many games with Barça and his national team this season and we must take care of him. In any case, Eto'o's loan would cost much more than £3.5 million."

Eto'o also said yesterday: "It is not a subject I am in control of. It is up to the club."





that is an insane amount for just 10 days!

wow if i was barcelona i would do that no hesitation, whats 10days?

i agree - but i reckon they may look for atleast £5m - also the tournament should hopefully land when barca have no games

wow

if ur gna pay that much, why not go for ronny d then?

if barca wont accept £3.5m for etoo - u think they will allow ronnyd?! - i wonder how much ronnyd would be worth for those ten days - £10m? a million quid a day - WOW!

Thats a ridiculous amount!

you can tell Barca are willing to let him go - they are just trying to squeeze more out of them

spot on - it is a bit of a risk as if he gets injured then the CL will be a huge task. Im sure etoo wouldnt mind it either - am sure he would get more than the minimum wage for his efforts

he would be more than happy to go i imagine cos they would be him a healthy sum

Kaka was linked with them tho wasnt he recently???

I mean its no point getting Eto'o alone, the guy needs some service

i think they are headhunting a lot more star players - supposedly from serie A and la liga in particular.

really us bizarre - spending millions on a tournament that the other teams dont really care about that much - surely investing it in grass roots would be more benefitial

typical arabs i guess - short gain is far more important - one flash trophy and they think they will be great - i couldnt agree more GA

barca wud b stupid not to accept!!
