Martinez confirms interest in Eto'o

Also for a club like us to spend the money we are on wages for an impact sub is beyond stupid. HeÂ’s a bit of a tit as well, get rid!

Plus, he is also out of favour with RM.

Sad really as I think he provides good experience for uefa games.

I get the feeling it will be undisclosed and that we will probably move him on for nothing to get rid. Rumours are that he has been a destabilising influence at Finch Farm which, when you think about how opinionated he is on the field, does not surprise me.

I imagine Roberto only wants one cook in the kitchen manning the proverbial broth! As it should be...

Shitty analogy but you get the point. Truthfully, which one would you listen to? If there was a difference in philosophy, then the players would listen to the winner.

Maybe Martinez is more pig headed than we thought. Players telling him to play more direct. Him off loading a world beater just because he disagrees with the slow build up approach? I donÂ’t like it.

If I was a cub owner, and an agent was openly saying such things, a club owner with balls would give a call to the player and say: "You may indeed be moving on, and we will wish you the best, but while you are under contract, if your clown agent opens his greedy mouth in public one more time, in a manner which disrespects the club, you’ll be running your contract out with the reserves. Make that very clear to him."

Like most, I thought he may be an inspired signing, and he has showed a couple of moments of class but, if that is at the expense of destabilising the dressing room, no thank you.

Eto'o well may be passed his best but he is still a cut above most of our squad in terms of class and what about the experience he can pass on to the youngsters?
Why did we go after him in the summer only to move him on in January?

Also will we replace him?....... yeah right what do you think!!!!!

We seem to lurch from one cock up to another.

One day, 10 yrs down the track or so, all these events of the last 6mths. will come out...maybe.

This IS Everton

And we WILL make a drama out of a crisis

EtoÂ’oÂ’s shouting on the pitch seems to have coincided with Coleman throwing his arms up a hell of a lot when he canÂ’t see a pass, Barkley walking around looking at the floor and Barry not opening his mouth anymore. Happy to see him go (although we will miss his experience in Europe) and free up some money for a new signing. COYB

What's all that about?

He's a quality player with plenty to offer for the rest of this season. Particulary in Europe.

Get rid? And replace him who, exactly?

Instead, heÂ’s found himself getting very little game time in a team that have resembled a collection of knackered carthorses for much of the season, thanks to MartinezÂ’s inflexible attitude towards tactics and playing style. No wonder he wants out!

Now that the players seem to have finally had some say in how we approach the game it has probably come too late, and so one of the biggest names in world football ends up spending less than one whole season at Everton. DoesnÂ’t that say something?

Any old stick to beat Martinez with hey.

I think we have a good balance of front players at the moment with Eto'o, if he goes and Lukaku picks up an injury that leaves us hoping Kone can play week in week out.

I would prefer to see him stay and us strengthen at the back buy hey, we are Everton, we must sell on if we want to buy anyone.

Thanks Bill....

Love how he is in the ear of referees too. The only player we have who does that I might add. Sad to see him go if true.

Maybe being played out of position hasnÂ’t helped him but to me he looks one lazy bastard and at times you can almost hear him thinking, IÂ’m Samuel Etoo I donÂ’t have to graft IÂ’ve won everything.

Well thatÂ’s as maybe Sammy baby but that was then and this is now. I hope he does go, itÂ’s one less pensioner off the bill. I hope he takes Barry, Howard, Pienaar, Gibson and Alcaraz with him. Alright, maybe a bit harsh on Howard but you get my drift.

Maybe that hasn't worked out as hoped; he is a quality player but you can't allow any one to undermine the manager.

If he goes then so be it and thanks and good luck to him.

You can see him expecting a certain run or touch and setting himself up to make it or receive it and then the other players let him down. The slow build-up play is killing his strengths and as far as pace well he is faster than Naismith (whom I like).
If he has to go can we send McGeady (gift) and Besic (loan) too?

I see on today's BBC gossip column that Villa are stalling on signing Scott Sinclair as Chelsea want ١M for him. Surely we could stretch to that?

Samuel Eto'o transfer from Everton to Sampdoria will save Toffees ٤million in wages

And now that we have Kone back as striker No 2, he's too much of a luxury to keep.

"Everton have allowed Samuel Eto'o to join Sampdoria – and saved ٤million in wages on the Cameroon striker.

Eto'o was due to get a one-year extension to the 12-month deal he signed last summer once he had played 15 matches for the Merseysiders."

With Kenwright in charge I wouldn't be surprised if nobody came in and there would be no point in getting angry because we can do little about it.
