if you think that barca is racist your so wrong. Last­ year they won the fair play award. they donait millions­ of dollars to UNICEF and guardiola wants to sell­ eto'o. what's the problme with that?!?!
all of­ you just criticise barca bcause you're not a fan.

bolt and the others, for Chryst, just stop whining­ about racism in Barcelona! I bet you've never been­ to Spain and you just base your remarks on newspapers­ articles and other comments. maybe it's not­ perfect, but to say they want to sell him coz of his­ colour of the skin is just stupid and unjustified. the­ other black players like ronaldinho, kluivert, rivaldo­ etc who according to you were subjected to racial abuse­ were offloaded coz of poor form, they were simply past­ their best. and etoo is still a good player but a­ greedy one that's way they should get rid of him.­ and if he wants to see out his contract and leave for­ free, allow him to do that but in B team!! no player is­ bigger than the club and Etoo is no exeption!!Barca­ should replace him with Villa-not coz he's white­ but because he's much better and humble player!!

they say global weather is effected and the temprature­ is increasing but in spain racism is increasing at high­ rate like virus

GETACHEW44 your wrong about toure he said if he doent­ get better wages h would move , , dont use thoughts as­ facts its misleading

I'm sorry Barca fans, I don't mean to call­ anyone a racist. But I'm angry at the Eto'o­ issue, and since he is black I point that this has to­ do with race, but I'm wrong, anyteam would do the­ same as Barcelona.

I think #29 getachew44 and #27 elcox78 are right,­ Eto'o is getting a greedy.

rafascrackingup,

I can now see that u reason with a­ borrowed racist of the Gardiola's head type
who­ like to give credit where it is not due
shame to those­ who see no great financial value in eto

#27 elcox78, perfect, you have spoken my mind.­ Eto'o is greedy, he only cares about money. This is­ not a race issue, it's all Eto'o being greedy.­ Look a toure, he loves Barcelona, Barcelona loves him,­ he never asked for a raise, and still extended the­ contract. Look at Iniesta, he never said I want to be­ the highest paid player in Barcelona. Also, I want to­ prove you people wrong, that this is not a race issue,­ because valdes too is demanding a higher contract, at­ least the same as iker casillas, but guess what,­ Barcelona are not giving him that either, and valdes is­ white, and still they are not giving him a raise. So­ the Eto'o's case is not about race, Barcelona­ have planty of black people in the team, but it's­ simply about Eto'o learning from ronaldo and kaka,­ and being greedy about money. Just imagine this,­ Eto'o trying to black mail Barca demand half of the­ transfer fee, which is $15m euros he wants if he signs­ for man city or he threatens to stay his last year, so­ Barcelona collects no money from him. Now tell me if­ that is not blackmailing.

@bertodread
george weah won european player of the year­ in 96
infact no spanish player won that.
i think eto­ can be even better in EPL
look at tores how strog he­ become when he join the primer league

You have all missed the point here slightly. Barca­ wanted to sell him last year after he publically raged­ against Ronaldhino, Deco, Puyol and other team members.­ His attitude has always been questionable but no-one­ wanted him last year. Now he has scored 30 odd goals­ this season it's the perfect time to sell him, he­ wants to be the highest paid in Barca (earning more­ than Messi, Xavi and Iniesta etc) which ain't gonna­ happen. He isn't the best in Barca, by a long way!­ It's all about greed and unfortunately it's­ Etoo's greed, 250K a week + 12mill signing fee and­ a golden handshake?? get real, he isn't worth that­ at all! And please Guardiola isn't a coward at­ all,(nor is this a black issue!!!) he put his faith in­ Etoo last season when Laporta and everyone wanted to­ leave him in the reserves for his outburts and­ criticsms of the team. Now is the time to sell, just­ like with Ronaldo, when egos get that big it's not­ about the team anymore.

Do squeeze out as much as you can Samuel. Barca owe to­ you a lot. You deserve to be highly paid. All these­ years you have been grafting for peanuts, whereas­ idlers have been getting away with more than you earn.

all the people respect eto and ronaldinho, except the­ @#$% spanish racist
the least word i was expecting was­ thank u eto, but no barca fan has said thanks.
i think­ eto must pimp his skin to make that racist guardiola­ happier.

ANYONE WOULD SCORE 30 GOALS A SEASON WHEN YOU GET­ PERFECT PASSES FROM MESSI,INIESTA,XAVI AND HENRY.ETOO­ IS OVERRATED,CITY ARE IDIOTS IF THEY SIGN HIM.

I don't know what Etoo'o is for before leave­ these racist people who never recognize his outstanding­ work.
Before Etoo'o arrival barcelona had. only one­ champions league event one year of Ronaldinho before­ Eto'o the also fail to win even spanish useless­ league. when Eto'o arrives the first year they win­ their league and next season they win their league and­ champions league But you give credit to ronaldinho .­ the next year eto'o got injury
they did not­ win anything with ronaldinho, messi, and thiery­ enry.
Now Eto'o come back they win everything and­ he is always the top scorer . Now you want you want to­ give the credit to Messi again.even Racist Xavi­ already say that in an interview in south africa that­ messi is the best player in the world.
Eto'o will­ be the Crazy man i ever see if he stay in that barca­ again.
Don't let them make money on you!!! Take­ your money from them and go to the Best league in the­ world , The Best Country in history and Good people of­ England.

No wonder why blacks have never received the European­ Player of the Year, its because of racism. Eto'o­ deserves it

Eto'o actually scored 36 goals after starting the­ season late due to injury.
Look, we always knew that­ Eto'o's sometimes incendiary comments would­ land him in this impass. If I were him, I would move to­ ManCity. Remember Eto'o had actually sued Real­ Madrid so that he could be released as a free agent­ because the club didn't have a use for him but they­ kept him on loan at Mallorca. I think he could win­ today with another law suit vs. Barca.
Juan Laporta­ and Pep Guardiola are playing with a very fine line­ here. They may actually lose out if they continue this­ saga. Just tell the man you want him out rather than go­ to the press. Come on! He obviously wants to feel­ wanted and if you don't want him, let him know. You­ can use him and throw him out like dirty linen but­ don't hang it out to dry so the whole world can see­ how dirty the linen really is.
Either way, if­ Eto'o stays in La Liga, he will still be the­ pichichi winner and if he goes to the Prem, he will be­ highest goal scorer too. I don't care as long as­ his sublime scintillating finishes keep making me and­ millions of fans happy. ManCity here we go.

Eto is the most intelligent african player presently. ­ This is not greed. Hi is not on par with­ Xavi,iniesta,Puyol possibly because he is not catalan!!­ Toure was on 40k a week just before he almost went on­ strike and had his contract reviewed. This is knowing­ your right,knowing your value and not being willing to­ be pushed around. Its simple mathematics. Barca need­ to split the transfer fee 50/50 NOW or get NOTHING next­ year while Eto will still get his 13M sign on fee(more­ than 250k per week after tax without playing­ anything!!) as he will be out of contract. Eto is­ smart to sit on barca bench for the next year assuming­ barca can survive without him! He will still earn his­ 100K or so and get the sign on fee in just 12 months­ plus a good contract as his value will still be high up­ there when he will be only 29yrs. Barca cannot break­ his contract without his agreement or they will pay him­ even more!! Its win win for ETO. GO ETO.

barcelona offer extension with the same payment 6 mil­ per year and refuse to add 2 more mil
they'll feel­ sorry it.
he will leave next year to any club for­ free
and the spanish racist will be forced to pay 40­ mil to bring replacement
just pay this guy what he­ deserve, atleast pay him the same wage as xavi valdez­ and puyol
look u no brain spanish idiots greedy and­ racism will kill u all
we are in 21st century with­ this mind, u will end up in worst situation.
$$$$$$$$­ think about it.

I dont think Guardiola likes Black people a lot or may­ be foriegners in general. Since he took over,its been­ unsettling for all non-spanish,especialy black players­ at Barca,with the only exception being Messi.

How else­ do you explain that,he wants to sell the club's­ top scorer over the past 4 seasons. I think the­ contract offered to Eto'o is an insult,a firm­ finger in the face. In every job,I mean even my­ ordinary programming job,when you deliver on every­ target during a year,u get an increase at the end of­ it. Who can say Eto'o didnt deliver last season or­ any other season for that matter since he joined­ Barca?

For heavens sake he won every title he competed­ at last season,still finished the clubs top­ scorer,despite having missed the earlier half of the­ season from inguries.

On here I have seen people­ mistake laporta for the problem. He isnt Guardiola is­ the problem. Lporta only does what the coach recomends.­ It was Laporta who brought all those balck guys at­ Barca upon request from Rijkaard.

Its not fair the way Eto'o is being handled, Barca­ should remember his contribution
and dedication as­ well as his total commitment to the team.
He is wealth­ more than this treatment. Barca, reconsider your racist­ attitude towards
blacks.
