Eto'o going nowhere

Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o has revealed that he has no intentions of leaving the club. The Cameroonian forward has been injured for some of the season and found his first-team spot under threat from young starlets Bojan Krkic and Lionel Messi.

"I am surprised by all this reaction, I want to make it clear that I never threatened to leave Barcelona," he told radio station Cadena SER.

"This season I have the opportunity to win the Champions League, but if I do not win it and then the coming year I don't win anything either, it will be three years without obtaining anything. A club such as Barca cannot allow that.

"What I said was that I would not feel comfortable playing in a team that signed me to score goals and to win, and I don't manage it. I would not be able to look the fans in the face.

"Next year I will be at Barcelona. I hope to start next season at my best level because during the last two seasons injuries have affected me. I hope to be able to help the team improve and that, all being well, we can win many things."
