Inter might pay more money for Samuel Eto’o

In spite of Jose Mourinho’s accusing silence, caused by the fact that Max Moratti didn’t meet his demands in the transfer window, it seems that the Portuguese is perfectly aware that he will benefit from the summer transfer window.

According to Italian press, the statements that this is not the team he had hoped for and that it will be very hard to fight reinforced Juventus in Serie A, not to mention the Champions League are not only an alibi.

We think that the Portuguese is building a myth. If Inter wins a trophy this season, Mourinho will take all the credit, and if not he will blame it on the transfer window.

The main reason why we think that Inter are the winners on calciomercato is the good deal with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s transfer and signing Eto’o. First of all, the Cameroonian is a much better and more flexible player and anyone who claims otherwise is not being impartial.

Comparing players is an ungrateful task, but Eto’o has solved as many big games as Ibra has probably only seen on TV. No matter how lethal Zlatan is against small teams, he failed to dominate a single big game. It is enough to mention the games against his former club Juventus, where he was literally invisible.

On the other hand, some will say that it is easy for the Cameroonian player as he has excellent support on the pitch. But many omit the fact that Eto’o scored even when he didn’t play with Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. He opens up space and creates chances.

Furthermore, Samuel Eto’o always plays for the team, which is a trait Ibrahimovic will never be able to boast. It is true that Mourinho will have to modify the formation as the African is a typical striker, but after all, the coach himself wanted that when he insisted on Drogba’s signing. Eto’o is physically weaker but his materialization record is better and that is what separates the winners from average teams in Serie A.

When someone offers the money with the player that solved the Champions League and Hleb, who can be useful it is ridiculous to claim to be weaker. A bigger problem than the transfer window for Mourinho will be Juventus that have brought precisely the players they needed and they have the winning mentality as well as the ability to compensate the quality with motivation at any time.

But more on that next week, with the conclusion that Inter got a huge gift and it is too late for Barcelona that are yet to realize how big a mistake they have made.
