sanmiguellight Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 besides im standing by my initial comment that Cruz is no more then average and that Mark Hughes has bought at best above average players, with Given being the exception. I must admit that I'm not a big admirer of Cruz but I'll put my faith in Hughes, if he really thinks he's that good. After all he probably knows him better than anyone else. As for the others. They are all International's and IMO better than above average. Give em time to gel. Youre right time will tell, see how Ol Sparky gets on this year.

mrbojangles Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 From skysports:- Santa clause causes concern Rovers striker accepts he may be forced to remain at Ewood Park Roque Santa Cruz admits there is a possibility no club will trigger his buy-out clause this summer. The Blackburn striker has attracted interest from Manchester City, with the Blues having tracked the Paraguay international for some time. Mark Hughes' men lodged a number of bids for the South American star during the January transfer window, but failed to match Rovers' valuation. They are expected to reignite their interest in the coming weeks, but are once again expected to be met with stubborn resistance from Blackburn. Santa Cruz's buy-out clause is believed to be around £20million, a figure City have so far been reluctant to meet. Should the big spenders from Eastlands fail to match the required demands this time around, the talented frontman accepts that he will have no option but to carry on at Ewood Park. "A signed document stipulates that there is a lot of money to pay to take me away from Blackburn," Santa Cruz told Radio 970 AM in his homeland. "If they don't want to sell me, then I must complete my contract and continue with them. "I am under contract until 2012." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Headline of the Century ^^ ?? Well it is pretty quiet at the moment Singhy Really though, my point about the post was that the situation is absolutely bonkers. I still don't know whether he'd be a good signing for us but he obviously doesn't want to be there and i doubt the fans want him now either. I just hope we stick to our valuation and don't go up to Blackburns greedy price. If they don't watch it, they'll be stuck with a player who clearly doesn't want anymore to do with them.

Come on Bojangles, i know you like the money in the Premier League, but wouldnt it be sweet if just for once an average talented footballer who wishes to milk another team ie yours gets put in the reserves for a season to teach the greedy <deleted> a lesson. I went to Blackburn in about 1986 with my uncle who was a miner at the time, after buying a programme we found out they were Maggies team (she was a director) .... who cares less what this pointless clubs fans want!

I don't know whether it's him or Blackburn who are being greedy. But yeah I agree, there are some players who need that type of punishment. I dont think its RC. Having followed the story, I put the blame at Big Sams door. Blackburn payed 3.5 million in 2007, for him. City offered 16 million for him last season, a huge profit, yet Big Sam turns it down. He is obviously still p!ssed at City re the Hamann deal. Serves the tosser right, that soon after the player gets injured, and all Big Sam can think is "What a knob, I should have took the money" I honestly do not think Hughes can bring himself to spend 25 mill on someone he bought for 3.5 mill less than 2 years ago.

Need I expand Yes but youre a football fan, a breed that are renowned for being fickle as <deleted>, im sure 20 goals and you'd see him in a different light. Mr BOJ and I both agree on this. Sturridge is undoubtedly talented, but as yet unproven!! He is demanding 75K/week. He has been offered 45k/week( still OTT IMHO ) Stephen Ireland, a proven premiership player who was one of our best players over the past season, earns 60k/week. If you go giving unproven kids, no matter how much potential they have, more money than proven seasoned professionals, then you are certainly going to have trouble in the dressing room. Look at Nedhum Onuha. You never hear stories of him either misbehaving or making silly demands. He is a young kid who trys and trys, improving all the time.Now an England u-21 regular. That is who you make sure you keep hold of. Not these misguided teenage wannabes who are trying to hold the club to ransom.
