Samuel Eto’o’s career cannot be described with the monochrome of the record books. He was as combustible and compelling character as he was an incendiary and broadly talented forward. Someone who reached the top of the game, but who led anything but a typical existence once he got there.

He had pretty much everything that you could ask in a perfect goal poacher. He was absolutely rapid, had great vision, his ball control and dribbling was brilliant and he was strong as a pitbull as well. Pace, power, control, skills and an amazing eye for goal; he had everything. Truly a joy to watch in his prime. I really do miss him..

Amazing player, one of the best and most complete forwards of the last 30 years. I saw him play first striker, second striker, winger, even as a 10 or a midfielder with Camerun and Everton. I saw him in his prime in 2011 with Inter Milan: 37 goals, 17 assists, more than 100 dribblings completed. 6 Major trophies in less than 2 full years. Definitely the best forward Inter ever had in modern football after pre-injury Ronaldo de Lima in 1997/1998. Not to mention his achievements with Mallora, Camerun and, of course, Barcelona. A true winner other than an outstanding player. A beast.

@dvidsuba 4 жыл бұрын

Not only one of the best forwards of the last two decades at least, but also a bit ahead of his time. In the years where specialist forwards were still common he was an all-around player with a wide range of abilities. Not only pace and incredible finishing, but also very combinative, great off the ball, good vision and passing skills, and valuable defensive capabilities. There was no weakness in his game, of couse he wasn't the biggest dude, but even physically he could handle himself well.
