NO DEAL ... Samuel Eto'o will not be
joining Manchester City
City are fed up waiting for Barcelona's £25million
striker to decide whether or not to accept their offer of £200,000
a week.
And with a pre-season tour of South Africa next week,
chief executive Garry Cook decided to pull the plug.
He said: "Samuel Eto'o is undoubtedly a fine footballer
but the circumstances surrounding him were such that the deal could
not be completed.
"We now feel the time is right to pursue other avenues.
We have a clear and strategic transfer plan, which we continue to
follow."
