Should premiership teams be going for eto'o?

Question

Obviously not liverpool after robbie keane

Man United

Chelsea

Arsenal

Bracelone said they dont want him...these clubs could buy him

plus this transfer season has been poor

Answer 1

manchester united should buy him

Answer 2

out of those four maybe arsenal.......i hope he doesnt leave and as of right now i dont see him leaving

Answer 3

why not he will add colours to the epl

Answer 4

I think he's overrated, I'd much rather have Berbatov, Arshavin, Villa, Mario Gomez.

Answer 5

As much as I would like him over at Man Utd, I think he would be an excellent addition to Tottenham Hotspur. After all, Man Utd already have Tevez and Rooney. Tottenham need a good striker after letting Keane go. Although it's not a bad idea to bring him to Old Trafford...I just think Ferguson would really think about it before he makes his final decision...

Answer 6

no i dont reckon... he sounds good and all, obviously a quality player. BUT my gut feeling is he wouldnt do amazing at a club like Spurs (i know not a team stated) who seem to want him supposedly and he would prob leave for italy after one season as spurs arent his quality. Argh its reli hard to picture if he'd do well or not, maybe he'd do ok at Arsenal but not Chelsea or Man U.

Answer 7

Clubs are often very dumb when it comes to transfers but i heard that he wants a big salary which frankly he won't get i heard Barcelona want Trezeguet from Juventus and wanted to trade the players not sure how that is turning out.

but Eto'o would do great in the Prem he is young and has speed and skills i think Liverpool maybe should have tried getting him instead but anyways i hope he finds himself a good club.

Answer 8

no

i think premiership managers have got this one bang on

there is no way you can doubt his skill

however in the english game you just dont get the space you do in the spanish or italian leagues. defenders are quiker to close you down , refs arent as strict and fans are less forgiving. i for one dont think he could cut it in the premier league. as an import to a top club you have to be something really special to stand out in the premier league as a striker. you have to be certain before buying a foreign striker in the premier league. buying defenders midfeilders and goalkeepers are much easier as the roles are fairly similar. going for a striker i would suggest holland, france or germany as they are the leagues most similar to ours.

after so many years on the Spanish Top Flight i dont think etoo would be able to adapt quick enough and i also think he would be in for a shock should he arrive in england this summer

thanks for reading

Answer 9

tottenham
