Mourinho: Inter fans didn't like Ibrahimovic

Inter manager Jose Mourinho has took a stab at transfer bound Ibrahimovic, stating that he was never liked by the Inter fans.
Ibra is set to go to Barcelona, and Sammy Eto'o coming to Inter, and Mourinho said that Inter fans will have more affection for Eto'o than Ibrahimovic. Mourinho goes on to say the deal that is set up...Ibrahimovic in swap for Eto'o, cash AND Hleb on loan, is an incredible one.

I have two questions to this.

1. Who's making way for Hleb and Eto'o
2. Why doesn't Mourinho seem to be in control of the transfers?

I could never be a manager of a club who doesn't trust my opinion on who stays and who doesn't. Some people gave Kevin Keegan shit for resigning from Newcastle because of the Director of Football Dennis Wise crap. But at least he spoke out and basically said F**k You.
At least someone's got the guts to.
My prediction: Eto'o a hit....Ibrahimovic a BIG miss. Looks like Guardiola will be crying in his beer on this occasion.
What do you think?

Eto'o for Inter Milan

Inter Milan and Barcelona have agreed the switching of Sammy Eto'o and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Inter will get Eto'o, cash AND Hleb on loan, and to me for Barcelona, it's a very stupid move. Ibrahimovic is a good player, i just don't like the dirty tricks he pulls when he doesn't have to, and his work rate is left to be desired sometimes, where as Eto'o, he'll run anywhere all game, whether it's for himself or for his fellow players.
Seems like Guardiola knows what he's doing right?......i mean he did win the treble. This is what he said about Eto'o

"I am convinced that the best thing for Barca is for Eto'o to leave," stated Guardiola. "Could I be mistaken? Maybe so. But I am here to make these decisions."
Guardiola added Eto'o's departure would be good for the team.
"I feel that it is best for the club and the team. It's a question of feelings," said Guardiola. "I am not here to change anyone's character, but I can decide on which players I want to count on for the season.
"After what we won, we had to change the dressing room. I took this decision from my experience as a footballer."
Eto'o was about to sign for Man City but manager Mark Hughes withdrew the offer.
I don't think the swap will affect either team too much to effect their title hopes, but it's going to be weird seeing these two players in the wrong colours. But hey, we'll soon find out.

Trading players like it's Football Manager 2009

Barcelona and Inter Milan have agreed to trade....Eto'o + cash for Ibrahimovic. It has been reported that Barca will pay 35 million pound plus Eto'o for Ibrahimovic, and in addition Alex Hleb will spend a season on loan at Inter.
Eto'o was about to sign for Manchester City until City pulled out of the deal. He is out of contract next summer and will be transfer delight for anyone who can snap him up on a free.
After jumping ship from a sinking Juventus in 2006, amongst all the match fixing crap, Ibrahimovic has been in the spotlight ever since and supposedly become one of Europe's top marksmen. He was Serie A top scorer last season, and has been courted by Manchester United and Real Madrid.
If Ibrahimovic does go to Barcelona, he will again be with Maxwell, who has just joined Barca from Inter for 3.9 million pounds.
I think that Eto'o should stay at Barca because he's a hard worker and can score goals.
All i see Ibrahimovic do is complain, wait by the last defender and throw his arms up in the air when he gets beat on the ball.

Samuel Eto'o on his travels?

Pep Guardiola, the man who achieved the treble last season with Barcelona, has told Sammy Eto'o that he should leave Barcelona. The Spanish giants want to trade Eto'o, plus cash for Inter's striker Ibrahimovic.

"I am convinced that the best thing for Barca is for Eto'o to leave," said Guardiola."Could I be mistaken? Maybe so. But I am here to make these decisions."

Guardiola also stated that it would be best for Barcelona if Eto'o left the club.I don't think it will work out.....the whole Ibrahimovic at Barca thing....it doesn't sound right. Mr. Guardiola, you are the boos, but i don't think Eto'o should go anywhere, and Inter should keep Ibrahimovic because he belongs there. He's whiny, sometimes clumsy, attention seeker...which are just perfect for Mourinho. I mean...who better to know about those things?

Pep, there's no doubt that you have proven your critics wrong, and you are indeed a good manager, but with this decision please think hard because in the future, you might regret it.
