Rafa weights up bid for Eto'o
-
RAFA BENITEZ is considering a dramatic swoop for Samuel Eto’o — the man who could gun down Liverpool’s Euro dreams. The Cameroon hitman, 25, has struck an uneasy truce at Barcelona after recent troubles. A fortnight ago, he refused to come off the bench in the La Liga clash with Racing Santander. Eto’o has also played down rumours of a rift with Barca superstar Ronaldinho.
But despite scoring on his return to the team in the weekend win over Athletic Bilbao, EtoÂ’o admits to being a huge fan of the Premiership and there is a growing feeling around the Nou Camp that he will be off in the summer.
Kop boss Benitez is already making plans for the summer and has made no secret of the fact that a proven goalscorer is top of the wanted list. The Anfield chief is licking his lips at the prospect of finally being able to slug it out with EuropeÂ’s big spenders after LiverpoolÂ’s American takeover.
Eto’o, top scorer at Barca for the past two years, would cost at least £20million and has also been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea. Yet Spanish TV show El Rondo is now claiming that a move to Liverpool is his likeliest option in the summer. Eto’o sat out last week’s Champions League defeat to Benitez’s men at the Nou Camp but is certain to play in the return next Tuesday. -
i hope he don't leave.

Now he enjoys the backing of American Billionaires, it's not hard to see him in buying spree like Mourinho did.
Cheers.

find it hard to believe...though it will be agood addition.
but with the new ukranian chap also coming, dun we have 1 striker too many? -
Well, rumour has it that Bellamy and Robbie Fowler may go... Anyway, i think that ukranian chap is more of a right winger/striker than a pure striker... Did better than Shev at the WC tho...
Benitez may also try to sign a proven 20-goal-a-season forward, which would only hasten the departure of Fowler, who returned to the club in January last year for what was an unexpected swansong for one of the club's modern legends.
Voronin, 27, will join on a Bosman free transfer at the end of the season from Bayer Leverkusen, a signing that will almost certainly signal the end of Fowler's second spell at Anfield.
Who knows, maybe Peter Crouch may also be release...
Dirk Kuyt
Craig Bellamy
Robbie Fowler -
Somwhow i still really think that eto'o is successful because of Ronaldinho and the countless chances a playmaker like him created for eto'o.

If Eto'o can leave Real Madrid, he sure can leave Barcelona.

honestly is he were to come to england, he will be unlikely to join pool. he huge ambition means winning the domestic league is a priority. and that hasent happen to pool in a long time
