Man City set weekend deadline for Eto'o

Manchester City want an answer from Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o this weekend.

The Sun says City thought they had a deal in place when the Spanish giants accepted a £25million offer for the Cameroon hitman.

Eto'o agreed wages of £200,000 a week - after tax - but knows Barca are keen to cash in now with just one season left on his contract.

So he is holding out for half the fee Barca receive, arguing they could lose him for nothing as a free agent next year.

Now City have decided enough is enough and want a definite answer from the Spaniards in 48 hours.

City head to South Africa for their pre-season tour late next week and would like Eto'o by then.

Another danger with Eto'o, apart from his suspect temperament, is his age. What is it? In many thirld world countries, where birth certificates are not possessed until bought, an unscrupelous agent, [like most of them!], will often market a player as being a prodigy 17 year old, rather than the 21 year old he is. This is regularly a problem in U21 tournements where teams stuffed with older ringers do well. Now look at this article on Eto'o, could that photo not be of a 38 year old?

ETO O this is his chance to make money.

Etoo, Why must you leave Barca and go to Man C?.just take a look of Robinho and Ireland what is there achievement in m,an C ?.Think very well before going over there.
