Terrible terrible dealing on Barca's side imo. Eto'o >>>> Zlatan imo. To pay 45 million Euros on top of Eto'o is just ridiculous.

Ibra is definetely better than Eto'o, it's just a question if he's worth 80+ million euros. He's one of the most techinically gifted striker's in Europe, as shown by a number of wondergoals. He can also drift out to the wing and assist, which works perfectly for Barca, since they like to play so fluidly. He's not really clinical, but no less wasteful than Eto'o is imo.

On Inter's side, i don't really get why they would really want Eto'o. By buying Milito, they've already got a really good finisher, and Eto'o is more of an out and out player than an second striker. Probably just Mourinho wanting money to cover the wings after the horrible buys of Quaresma and Mancini.

Zlatan is better than Eto'o no question about it, the only thing that Eto'o will always be better at is making those intelligent runs so people supply him the ball and score, Ibra just doesn't do that.

I'd say Etoo is about the same as Ibra.

On top of that, Etoo has proven he fits Barce's game play perfectly well. Etoo doesnt need the fancy dribbling skills with the like of Messie, xavi, and iniesta constantly feeding him to score.

Ibra on the other hand, is known for his ball possession. This can possibly slow down barce's game play significantly.

This is a rather risky move on barce's side.
Terran is SOoOo over-powered~!! Especially in TvT~!

lmao Adebayor signed for city.

eh sry but how the hell are they supposed to fit Santa Cruz, Robinho, Tevez, Adebayor, Bellami, Phillips and others in 1 lineup? they are also going for Forlan now, dunno wtf are they thinking they should focus on defense

my best guess :

------------------ Given
Richards ---- Kompany----- Dunn---- Bridge
------------ Zabaleta ---- De Jong
------------------- Barry
Tevez ---------- Adebayor ------------ Robinho

Phillips and Santa Cruz riding the bench maybe -_- with Elano, Caicedo, Petrov, Bellami, etc.

Can you imagine how the Classico is gonna be like this year? CR9 + Kaka + Benzema + Ramos and Casilla vs Messi + Zlatan + Xavi and Iniesta. That one game will have the hype of a World Cup Final.

The fact that Robben is up for transfer right now says something.

honestly, if you just consider the value of the player, what he can do alone, ibra is on another level imho
anyway, since football is a teamgame, probably eto'o is more useful for a team which is already good and with a solid teamplay as barcelona

That with regard to the totality of factors, not least his injury record, Ribery might be a step up?
