Eto'o returns to leave

Samuel Eto'o returns today to discipline Blaugrana waiting to resolve its future in the coming days. Since the club continues to seek a substitute in the market.

Already here. The battering ram of feline instinct. The more aggressive in the verb. The livelier of the lead, which starts pressure from the area contrary to draw oil from the mistakes of opponents. The man eager for that role-say-dynamited the Barca dressing room. Anyone who always empty on the pitch. The player whose injuries have prevented him being in important moments of the last two seasons. One of the most media in Africa. An irrepressible temperament.

Samuel Eto'o (Nkon, Cameroon, 1980), the front two sides, the double-edged sword, has returned to Barcelona. Although all indications are that is not to stay. The directive is expected to resolve its future, which is a mystery, as is the name of his replacement in the centre forward position.

Eto'o, Alves and Keita were submitted on Saturday to all medical tests and provided analytical, while Messi and Hleb completed their missing and participated in a series of field tests.

Nor were the rest of the team with Thierry Henry, Yaya Toure and Rafael Marquez, who underwent a test isokinetic. This test is used to measure the strength of the train below, and follow-up work to be carried out along the preseason and to be submitted to the entire workforce that will depart on Monday to Scotland where he will prepare the next season.

It could be the first and last meeting of Eto'o in the draft new coach. But it's likely that the future of Cameroonian afternoon yet solved in a few days, because since the club continue to deny having received any firm offer for him. Txiki Begiristain, technical secretary of the club, just few days ago acknowledged that "many teams have expressed interest in him."

With Ronaldinho and Deco-and transferred to Milan and Chelsea respectively, the output of Eto'o has to complete the handover of the holy trinity offensive which embodies at once every success and all the vices of the era Rijkaard.

But little progress in terms of their transfer and the special nature of the Cameroonian do anticipate that the soap opera of his departure has not only just begun. For now, the closest thing to an offer which has been attacking African sounds like a joke. Media of Uzbekistan reported a few days ago that the Uzbek Kurubchi, with which the club has a promotional collaboration agreement, it would have made a multimillion-dollar bid for the striker. The Cameroonian last Thursday visited the Uzbek capital, Tashkent, and said publicly that it would study the offer. The truth is that Iniesta and Puyol also visit the Kurubchi, so it seems rather a strategy to give the club a reputation of the former Soviet republic.

In any case, Samuel Eto'o, who has scored 92 goals in 124 matches he has played with a Barca shirt, remains part of the club Barca, who arrived in summer 2004 from Mallorca.

The other thing is to see if progress is who will occupy its place as nine. Frozen choice Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor of Togo for its price-the 'Gunners' call about 40 million and the club is prepared to offer only 30 - none of the names that has appeared so far (Berbatov and Villa, among others ) Just pick up force to occupy a post he shared with Thierry Henry and the young Bojan. The club, apparently waiting to Arsenal lowered its claims by Adebayor, the favorite Guardiola.--elmundo
