[article]Q: How do you feel about this World Cup which could well be your last one, and what is your future at Chelsea?

Eto’o: Thanks for informing me that it will be my last World Cup. Today, I am 33 years old. And it is not because a fool called me an old man that you must believe it. And you may have noticed that the old man was better than the youngsters.

Some believe I am going to retire in the United States or in the Middle East, but I have regained the joy of the Champions League and I am going to carry on playing in the Champions League. Where? I am not going to tell you. But I am going to carry on playing because physically and mentally I feel great.

So I am going to go to this World Cup and to the next one when I will be 37. Some did it at 42, so I can still play in two more World Cups. [/article]
 
He's gonna be our third choice striker.

Fuck me, I'd LOVE it if Eto actually was our 3rd choice striker.

Partly cos he's Eto, & partly cos, fuck me, we've got two better strikers than Eto keeping him out of the side.

He was extremely lucky to score as many as he did this season. I would think it would be tough for him to score half as many if he played another year in the Premier League.

To be fair, he was playing for Chelsea/Mourinho, he could cut it in a different system.

Would be excellent backup for Sturridge.

What's his contract situation? Cos I can't see Chelsea selling to us.

He was on a one-year contract; out of contract now. Probably will go to a Turkish side playing in the CL I reckon.
 
Cheers.

If we could get him and Cole on free's I wouldn't complain. Wages and signing on fees etc might make it unlikely though.

Lucky is debatable. He scored a handful of goals in a team that doesn't exactly shit goals unless they're playing Arsenal. You'd imagine he'd get more chances playing for us. I'd definitely take him on a one year contract. If it doesn't work out, he's off after a year anyway. I'd rather buy Remy, but we won't have the money to buy everyone we need/want. He could be good cover for Suarez or Sturridge.
 
You make your own luck and E'to cut his teeth and built a successful career on goals. He will score wherever he goes. decent option but no thanx. Bring Borini back and reintergrate him. We should be looking at the future.
