Arsenal And Spurs Eto’o Rumours Resurface
-
These latest reports surface despite the fact that Spurs had apparently withdrawn from the race earlier, while Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is uninterested in a "megabucks" signings.
The Barcelona striker Eto’o, 27, is expected to leave the Nou Camp this summer and Spurs have already expressed an interest in landing the Cameroonian.
However it is believed that Eto’o is demanding Champions League football from any club he signs for and would therefore rather join Arsenal than Spurs.Eto’o whose season was interrupted by injury and the African Cup of Nations still managed 16 league goals for Barcelona and is expected to cost around £30 million.
Berbatov Connection
Tottenham are in the market for a striker as they are expected to lose striker Dimitar Berbatov in the summer. Berbatov hit 15 league goals himself this season but has also expressed a desire to move on and play Champions League football next season.
Arsenal meanwhile do not lack for strikers in Adebayor, Van Persie, Eduardo, Bendtner and Walcott. However recent injuries to Van Persie and Eduardo left the Gunners short towards the end of the season and manager Arsene Wenger would surely be interested in a player of Eto’o’s quality, should he be available.
However, any potential deal is unlikely to happen quickly as Eto’o is reportedly upset at the Barcelona hierarchy. The striker believes senior officials at the club have helped turn the fans against him and is unwilling to make any transfer happen smoothly.
Eto’o was booed by sections of the home support in Barcelona’s last game of the season and whilst his departure from the Nou Camp now seems inevitable, it may be a long and drawn out process. -
not really interested in Eto.
David Villa will be a dream signing but i'm looking forward to what Walcott n Vela can do next season.

It is good to add 1 more striker.
But striker isnt our priority.

Nasir can play as a left winger.Song can be promoted to 1st choice central midfielder.
Central defender, I say go for Micah Richards, despite Man U and Chelsea competition for his signature too. I dun believe we cannot get our man everytime when other big clubs are involved too.

i don't think nasri's best position is at left wing, if we are just signing him to train him to adapt to a new position, might as well sign a natural left winger

Now the problem is , Nasri's deal haven't even been finalised =/ I think if Arsenal really want a more natural winger , Ben Arfa is more suited

I think he is a natural playmaker. Turning natural playmakers into world class wingers is Wenger's forte. Pires, Helb, Rosicky etc -
