Eto was treated like trash all his career. He was such a class player!

[@brandonayong7656]

130 goals for barcelona , he won 3 champions league finals and scored in 2 of them making an assist in the third one

[@ekkor3209]

He was a bit of a bellend supposedly, Rijkard had issues with him and was rumoured to want to sell him before Pep became Barca boss

That deal was meant to insult Eto'o but unfortunately for Pep Eto'o is a uniquely gifted and formidable player who can play in different wings and leagues. That worked to his advantage. As legend would have it Eto'o's team would beat and eliminate Pep's team to win the ECL.

[@miguelpereira9859]

@dont let me down Pep just didn't like him. That happens in football a lot unfortunately, a manager just won't like a player and doesn't play him, of course a player the caliber of Eto'o just can't be put on the bench so they eventually ditched him

You're not trying to say that Barcelona getting £200m for Neymar was bad business are you? He's the most overrated player in the history of the game.

[@ResurrectingHobo]

you clearly have no idea about football if you think Neymar is overrated. his price tag is a reflection of the inflation of football prices not his value as a player, he is the 3rd best footballer in the world currently. He has almost a goal a game for PSG, say what you want about the french league but he contributed to almost goal a game at Barcelona and contributes to a goal a game in champions league.

Selling Keane was actually a worse decision,because Torres had an injury crisis and Liverpool didn't have anybody to replace him,that partially cost them the league title

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

Plus that seven goal record wasn't too bad for a striker playing out of position at left wing

[@InputCity]

Robbie Keane was very, very, VERY over rated. A footballing outlier that shows that, sometimes at least, that statistics are the most unreliable indicator. Going forward he always passed the ball to behind his assisting player, that was usually in a much better position to score, forcing that player to slow down or stop to collect the ball and hence allowing Keane time to become the better positioned player and thus his opportunity to get on the scoresheet. He not only used this cheap self glorification routine at club level but used the same under handed trick to boost his national team record. Ireland missed out on progress in so many tournaments because of Robbie Keanes tactics. Roy Keane fcuked Ireland also at one point. Maybe they're cousins?? Only team players do great at Liverpool thats why Gerrard is a legend and Keane is an absolute tool. Robbie Keane I'm not impressed.

[@Jonathan2342]

with the benefit of hindsight, i'm not convinced that Neymar's release clause is bad business. Barca got Dembele, Coutinho and possibly Greizmann in the summer and have only lost once in all competitions this season. Meanwhile Neymar is fighting with everyone in France and they are very likely going to lose their CL hopes in a couple weeks.

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

Jonathan2342 but many consider the price barca then paid for Dembele to be an even bigger waste. And if they do get griezman then Dembele is going to be next seasons deulofeu and not get many games

So receiving 220m for one player is the second worst football business of all time? Let's think about that...

[@maciejkowalski2759]

Its not about business, its about losing a player they never wanted to lose. Barcelona needed Neymar much more than they needed that 220m.

[@NxFxKW]

I was thinking the same thing... like sure losing Neymar sucks but 220 million is an outrageous buyout!

[@joewhite4456]

Yes? Losing neymar and replacing him with coutinho and dembele and losing money is awful business.

[@maciejkowalski2759]

Guys you must understand that for a club like Barcelona 220m in one way or the other is pocket money, they will not be over the moon for receiving this cash, they are not Monaco or Athletic Bilbao for which such cash would mean a few years of existence . Neymar was supposed to be their star player for many many years, and they put 220m as a buyout clause precisely because they thought nobody ever will be willing to pay it. They never wanted to lose him. Maybe in a long run it will turn out to be a good business and players like Coutinho, Dembele, Malcom will be able to fill the hole in quality left after Neymars departure but it's still a maybe. With Neymar they had the best offensive trio in the world. They had it. Now they don't.

[@paulcurran1152]

220m for 1 player is disgusting! Money has ruined the game...

etoo for zlatan was surprising

[@ramjb]

Thiago has not lived up to expectations in Bayern due to being an injury ridden player, though I'd agree that his release clause depending on playtime was not the smartest thing. Neymar....honestly is gone and well gone given his antics, character, and diva attitude. he's a superlative player but current Barcelona form seems to point out that they're not missing him. And to be fair, honest, and square, only 9 months ago nobody in planet football would've believed anyone would splash 230 million in a transfer fee, so his clause was widely aknowledged as more than enough to protect him from other club's interests, so one can hardly blame anyone for his clause being "too low". Also, being the first one that would like a player of his talent in my team (not a player of his personality, though): 230 million in the bank which have largely financed Coutinho and Dembele's transfers, and the team in top form even without any real input from those two yet, means that it was not that bad of a business, and certainly not the 2nd worst in any list.

I think number 1 should be PSG's £1.3Bn spending over 8 years including buying Neymar for 220m... They were doing better before they bought Neymar, and no matter how much money they spend they just can't get past the semi-finals. They even lost the French Cup to Rennes, with their former player Hatem Ben Arfa (who they had spent millions on just to make him play in the Reserves for years) starring for Rennes in that match. In a way Ben Arfa is still being paid by Paris, who had their Neymar + MBappé strikeforce on the pitch for £400m of transfer money... This is just the worst managed club in history. They had done similar ridiculously poor performances when they bought Anelka from Real Madrid, to have him play with Ronaldinho and a few great French youngsters, only to finish in the bottom half of the French Ligue 1. They really should get an award...
