Windfall for Eto’o

Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto’o will get record wages of 300,000 pounds ($485,000) a week with Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala, the Daily Mirror reported.

Those wages would make the 30-year-old from Cameroon the highest-paid soccer player in the world.

Eto’o, who scored 34 goals last season for Inter, may be sold to the Russian club for as much as 32 million pounds, the paper said.

I heard this and that about this. I heard he snubbed the offer. Must say Id do it for the money, but Russian Premier League is not all that great, up and comin but it would seem to me like youd be in exile or something. Mofokin Russian billionaires.

I would never turn down money like that even if i had to play in the middle of somalia

[Jntg4]

I'd play in Antarctica or Svalbard for that money...
