Manchester City's Robinho pleas for club to sign Samuel Eto'o from Barcelona

24 June 2009 10:02
City have already snapped up Roque Santa Cruz from Blackburn for £18 million and reports suggest Carlos Tevez could be on his way for £25m in July. Now Robinho has called on Hughes to make Barca an offer they can't refuse and bring Eto'o to Eastlands, thereby creating what would arguably be the most attacking line-up in world football. City have also brought in Gareth Barry for £12m and have been linked with a £15m move for Joleon Lescott. Robinho told the Sun: "If Eto'o comes too he will add even more talent to the squad. "We need four top-quality forwards because the season is so tough in England. I hope the club keep signing players with that quality. If so, we will be almost unbeatable. "A player like Santa Cruz is more than welcome and I've heard a deal for Carlos will be sorted very soon. That would be great because Tevez is a world-class talent and I would be happy to play alongside him. "It is very good to know my club is going for top-quality players like these. Now I hope we can get Eto'o as well. "Is the club chasing too many strikers? No, I don't think so - Manchester City wants to be among the top teams in the Premier League and in Europe. "To do that they must have at least three or maybe four top-quality strikers. "The season in England, with the league and the cups, all the games we play is very demanding. "But I'm not scared of the competition. If Santa Cruz and Eto'o come to City, they are talented players and I will work as always to make sure of my spot in the team. "We want to make City the biggest club in Manchester and win titles, as many as possible."
