THREE WEEKS ago I heard that some of the Arsenal players were talking about Samuel Eto’o, expecting him to come.
Sammy is a fireball and Barca insiders say he was trouble in the dressing room LAST season.
But that was kept in-house. This season’s aggravation made headlines, as you probably know.
Still, I’m sure he would love it at Arsenal. He is what they need. Eto’o might be a difficult star for some coaches to handle but I’m sure he’d get on well with Arsene Wenger.
Two weeks ago I heard that the club was trying to fast-track a visa for Carlos Vela, the Mexican striker who is on loan at Salamanca in the Spanish Second Division.
The regulations apparently allow his visa to be issued no sooner than January 2008.
Vela is an exciting player but can he be a Premiership striker at 18 ?
