"I'd Rather Go And Sale Groundnut In My Village Than Become A Chelsea Player" - Samuel Eto'o in 2004

 

This is a lesson to all of us "never to say never". Benitez once said he will never coach a team like Chelsea but just few months ago, he was begging Chelsea to make him a permanent coach

Talk about making people eat their words. Ermmm, It seems groundnut business in Samuel Eto'o's village is really dwindling and the 32 year-old striker can't save it.
Sometime 2004, when the going was really good in Barcelona, the most decorated African player of all time made a quote during one of the unending rows between Barcelona and Chelsea.

"I'd rather sell groundnuts in my village than to play for a pathetic team like Chelsea."

Well, he penned a one year deal with the "pathetic" club some days ago.

Good Luck To Samuel Eto'o Anyways...
