They said that he will play the final matches of the AFC champions league, which is about 6 matches

The only reasons I can come up with for this is

1) Somehow, the millions Barcelona has paid him is not enough.

2) Promotion of the Asian CL.

or

3) Those guys must be holding his teddy bear hostage.

Number 3 for sure. Eto'o would never let his teddy bear die

There was talk of this at Christmas, for the WCC - I think it was £3.5M for a 10 day loan.

JEDDAH: Barcelona’s Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o has joined AFC Champions League champions Al Ittihad in a loan move.

Speaking at a press conference to announce his signing, Eto’o said: “I don’t play for the money alone. Happiness is my priority that's why I chose to play with Ittihad in the AFC Champions League."

Details of his contract have not been revealed.

Al Ittihad has also signed a contract with the player to open an ‘Ittihad and Eto'o Soccer Academy’ in Cameroon. “The Saudi club will benefit from the players that graduate from the academy,” said Al Ittihad President Mansoor Al-Balawi.

thats very surprising, considering as i read on the bbc website that Eto'os 11th minute winner helped Barca on 14/04/06, get closer to the title, its seems very odd that he's moved!!

What a load of......
