Man Utd in swap talks for Barcelona star Eto'o
tribalfootball.com - November 18, 2007
Manchester United are in sensational swap talks with Barcelona over
fiery Cameroon ace Samuel Eto'o.
The People says agents are working behind the scenes to see if a
deal can be struck to move the Cameroon hit-man to Old Trafford in
exchange for Louis Saha and £5 million.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been on the look-out for
another striker for some time and has grown increasingly frustrated
with Saha's constant injury problems.
The Frenchman will not play unless he feels 100 per cent fit and,
while his ability is undoubted, his willingness to put his body on
the line when needed is questionable.
Eto'o, meanwhile, has himself been plagued by injury this season
and has not featured for Barca since tearing a tendon in his right
thigh.
However, he is on target to return just before Christmas and would
be ready to go by the time any deal could be sanctioned in
January.
The striker will be on African Cup of Nations duty and would
disappear for the back end of January and early February. But, long
term, that would not bother Fergie.
but are we exchanging a sick chicken for another??
