Eto'o to move to Anzhi for..... 340k A WEEK!

[hornetrider]

WTF!

Well, Anzhi Makhachkala is a nobody club from Dagestan now owned by another Russian gazillionaire... and he's offering 340k a week for Eto'o to play for them.

Football is dead.

Quite the opposite, I would suggest.

Well... you might be of the opinion that billionaires buying a club and playing real life fantasy football is for the good of the game, but I would hold a different opinion

No, I'm of the opinion that Oligarchs taking their money out of European football is probably a good idea. If a player is happy to live in Dagestan for the pay packet, he's not going to be that bothered about the team he plays for.

If it is good enough for Roberto Carlos, it is good enough for Eto

They are quite racist out there. Remember a banana being thrown and Sir Carlos recently

I apologise, I can't understand the point you're trying to make.

They live and train in Moscow, his bonuses mean he earns a lot more than that even, the figure I have heard is the equivelant of £20,000,000 after tax for one season.
