if eto'o is worth the type of wages they are quoting in the press, i shudder to think what torres, villa, ronaldo, and gerrard are worth....................

I can only compare torres with Eto'o. Eto'o was far superior to Torres in Spain so I guess the Spaniard would be worth less

Bollox. Guess the score. As suspected we're well short up front. Walcott isolated and no-one filling in. Get a grip, Psycho. It's not rocket surgery.

Very different now from then. Eto'o is older than Torres, Torres has improved so much since his Atletico days. Back then he was 'potential', a diamond in a sh'it team, since then his value has probably tripled compared to what we signed him for.

Torres would cost more to sign that Eto'o, seen as Eto'o has a year left on his deal and is a few years older. Plus, I think Torres is a better player now, but that's just me.

Nobody knows for sure what players wages are. If he signs he'll be on "£250k a week" no matter what the truth is. I've heard that Barrys wages are anything from £70k - £150k depending on who you speak to. When you're rich, that happens.

Very true. I cant believe that City dont have some salary structure and are prepared to make each new signing the highest paid player in the league. I'd imagine that Eto'o would "only" be paid the same as Robinho and Tevez. I'd also expect that there would be some parity when it comes to players such as Barry, Santa Cruz, Ireland, Bellamy & De Jong. Otherwise it would be a recipe for player strife.

Goodnight Vienna. Or possibly Berlin. Pearce hasn't changed anything. They're running on empty. Disappointing.
