United in for Eto'o
Much more suitable for us than Berbatov.
We have enough players who can "unlock the door"... we need someone quick with an eye for goal to put the ball in the net. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...id=1779 &ct=5 |

Not going to happen.
I really, really, really, really would love it to though. He's £#%&!ing class. At least it's not from the Sun or the Mirror so maybe it's slightly more credible but wouldn't Chelsea be in for him if it was made public? By the way, he'll also be playing in the African Cup next year but that's a side issue. |

If he came to England he could only settle at United or Arsenal... and he'd be mental to go to the latter. |

Eto'o was brilliant for Barca in the Champions League last year. Very elusive, quick and a great finisher. Berbatov is great to watch, but too slow for what we need, in my opinion. |

Anyway, Eto'o is a phenomenal striker, since he's signed for Barca probably the best in the world. How anyone could not rate him is a complete mystery to me. |

He has had big fallings out with Rijkjkjkjkjkjaard and Ronaldinho this year... If he is to leave Barca, having achieved all he can there, he is unlikely to be sold to Madrid and England is a better choice, in terms of both football and money, than Italy. Chelsea and Liverpool would have no use for him in their current incarnations... Chelsea's may change, Liverpool's most certainly won't. That leaves us and Arsenal. Not much of a choice. More likely we'll pay £40m for Berbatov and put off a defensive midfielder for yet another year... |

That's pushing it a bit. Someone on the other place once did the detective work and found more than a few occasions when Henry delivered on the big stage - knocked Real out at the Bernabeu last year, scored the equaliser in the Euro 2000 Semifinal against Portugal, golden goal winner in the Confederations Cup Final, the winner against us this year, etc. |

Confederations Cup, Big Stage?! It's the only final he has managed to score in, but was anybody watching? Euro 2000 Semi-final, fair enough. He's still a flat-track bully. Eto'o most certainly isn't. |

However, it's a not entirely warranted reputation. And perhaps you don't recall that the 2003 Confed Cup was HUGE for France, coming as it did after their disastrous 2002 World Cup campaign. It was an enormously important tournament for them and the tournament was followed by a huge audience in France. |

A bit like when one of the big sides takes the League Cup seriously and nobody else does. Last year some United fans tried to get excited about it, others merely harked back to the days when we could afford to treat it with contempt, and win big trophies instead. |
