drogba is not qualified to strike for barca.
Etoo sent even the igwe Henry to the flank.
Etoo had any kind of finishing a striker requires.
drogba only has his style of muscle defenders and score.
People will be comparing Drogba with E'too... Some people lack respect and football knowledge... Something Drogba himself won't dare imagine not to mention speaking out loud. undecided

Etoo is surpassed by only one striker by the name Ronaldo Da lima Nascimento
Etoo had any kind of finishing any striker requires.
is it long distance curler vs panathinakos?
or nodding.
then as a typical African boy,if a defender rushes at him,he will raise leg like he wants to take shot and the defender will act film,Etoo will just gbuo gi mma and score into the keeper's tight corner.
ask Jens Lehman in 2006 and Edwin Van dar Sar in 2009
a graceful player.

Two times African best
PFA player of the year
Fwa player of the year
Goals and assist every game for Liverpool...
are u kidding me?
Ogbeni am a kind of person dat dont usually value individual accolades, messi and ronaldo winning 5 balons dor apiece to me na wash, as if its only messi dribbling all d eleven players or na only ronaldo collect ball from casillas in his own box and take it to d opponent box to score all alone.
I dont use individual accolades to judge player, am just like wenger.

Lols Nairaland.. Always 1 week late..

If you knew b4, you know. I'm seeing the news here for the first time. I believe some other people might also be seeing it for the first time here too. It's better to just shot up than to look forward to criticising unnecessarily. Our ITK is actually whats causing xenophobia in SA against us. Truth be told.

Indomie generation. This is barely a paragraph in a chapter.... in the encyclopedia of great African soccer talents. Neither Salah nor Eto'o will top the table in their respective countries...when all the pages have been turned. People know their heros.

Eto was much more consistent and better than van nistelrooy. Van nistelrooy had max 3-4 seasons of over 25 goals per season and Ben he fizzled out. Eto was a dominant strike force for over 8 years consecutively

You sound like all these Chelsea fanboys. When Eto was making global headlines, at Mallorca and real Madrid, drogba was still second fiddle striker at lens.
Eto had more career goals (over 400) than drogba (260-280 approx.). Eto had more trophies and individual honours. Eto was one time 3rd best player in the world. Eto is the highest goal scorer in Afcon.

I can go on and on. Don't make the mistake of comparing eto with drogba. Its insulting.

I rated them as a forward, not as overall playing..
As a forward, RVN>Eto'o
Overall player, RVN<Eto'o
