Asked about the situation of Barcelona forward and Cameroonian international Samuel Eto'o (27), Barcelona president Joan Laporta has suggested to journalists that, although Guardiola will have the final say, he would prefer that the player stays: "Eto'o has great qualities, both as a player and as a person. I think now everyone has to add something so that the final decision will be the best one for the club. In the end our manager will have to make a decision because he has lived with the player and has seen that he has had a very positive behaviour. We'll annouce a decision soon."
Barcelona sports vice president Rafael Yuste meanwhile commented to Catalan sports paper Sport that the club could make a decision in the coming days: "This could also mean that nothing changes since he still is a Barcelona player with a contract. Eto'o is working really well with the group and my evaluation is very positive. But Txiki and Guardiola will have to decide in the end, although I repeat that we have seen that he's very involved and working hard."
