Liverpool fans react to signing of Samuel Eto'o

If Liverpool fans were surprised when the club signed Rickie Lambert, they must have been shocked to hear rumours that Brendan Rodgers is considering a deal for Samuel Eto'o.

The Cameroon striker was one of the best attackers in the world in his prime and has scored a total of 359 goals for clubs and country, but at 33 he is approaching veteran status (just ask Jose Mourinho).

Eto'o is still a class act capable of scoring vital goals, so would he represent a sound bit of recruitment by Liverpool?

Or does his contribution to Chelsea last season mean Rodgers should steer clear?

Have a look at what Liverpool fans are saying and leave your thoughts below…

I'd prefer Torres to Eto'o #LFC

I've seen a lot of people who would prefer Torres to return over Eto'o... Have they missed the last 3 years?!? #LFC #Bonkers

FACT: Rather have Eto'o for a Year for Free than 19 Mil For Bony and then be stuck with as Origi Returns next Year #LFC

I'd probably take Eto'o on a free over a £16-19m Bony as they're both probably just stop gaps. #LFC

I guess the money from Kolo Toure's sale will go towards paying Eto'o's bench gratuities. #LFC

We were supposed to be in the market for Reus, falcao or Cavani and now we're looking at Eto'o. FML! #LFC #facepalm

So this Samuel Eto'o thing is actually real. That's a panic if I've ever seen 1 #LFC
