He didn't just get Etoo, he also used the money to buy Milito and Sneijder. It was a very sensible move.

Also I'd say Zlatan probably made his desire to join Barca clear when they showed an interest.

Yes - Inter got a mound of money for the transfer, but it also stemmed from the fact that Ibra aparently did not fit into Mourinho's system. But now he does?

I know he's at Utd on a free transfer and sells jerseys, but it seems that he will be a big part of the team

Maybe because he is on a free and there aren't many quality strikers available... pretty sure we would take a peak Eto if we could.

Well I think it's cool either way. Ibra has been slammed his whole career for not winning trophies, but if Mou and he can find the right setup then it could be a glorious season

It wasn't that he didn't fit into his system at all, Jose likes a physical lead striker. He was just given an opportunity to strengthen the squad as a whole by selling him and realised 3 quality players was better than 1. And the fact Zlatan probably wanted to join Barca like most players do.

Morratti sold him. Mourinho didn't have a choice.

How can you knock him with his record??

He proved his worth at PSG even at Champions league level?? What more do you want?

In response to OP

Coz the circus is in town

Coz the circus is in town

I can see dressing room disharmony when that ego turns up, the last thing you need

his talent isn't in question....his desire might be....

the clash of personalities will certainly be an issue round OT...Jose will want to establish himself early & won't have the swedish ego rocking the boat

Lets see him play on a wet Wednesday night in Stoke, on a pitch the size of Wales, that tastes like chicken.
