Sell him, he is a black sheep. I dont see any reason why to sell a fighter like Eto'o and keep a loafer like Marquez.

He can play defender and defensive midfielder and it would be good to stay. But, FCB staff should listen to offers and if there's a good one he might be sold to earn some money for Alves. Anyway, most players wouldn't be sold and I hope Eto'o will stay.
