Thirteen goals in ten games so far this season must be the perfect way to show Barcelona that they should be grateful that Samuel Eto'o did not leave in the summer.
Made to feel like an outcast in the off season, Eto'o was touted round Europe like a low grade prostitute; no-one was interested. As Barcelona looked at Adebayor it was clear that the management structure saw no place for the 2006 La Liga top scorer.
I am sure that most managers did not see a place for him, thinking him to be past it having suffered a chronic loss of form. None of it appears true. He has been inspirational so far this season and at 27 should be at the peak of his career.
At his best he is the most explosive striker in the world. A thunderous shot and good of either foot he is a lazy defender's nightmare. This season he has already scored two hat-tricks, one of them 4 goals in 44 minutes, breaking the club record.
It is just sad that this form is not justifying a great faith in his abilities, rather, it is showing his bosses what they already should have known.
