It appears that Mr Cooke and the Brian 'the stamp licker' Marwood are being kept busy trying to offload old Crocky http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896...city-hawk-flop-roque-santa-cruz-around-europe

He will be in a manner of speaking. The money we get for him will help pay for someone decent.LoveCity said:Poor Roque, he was talking the other day about being a part of our push for the top four next season.

If anything contributed to Hughes's sacking it was his stubborn pursuit and purchase for 18 million quid of RSC. I imagine the owners looked at this and thought we can't let this guy buy any more players. With Roque's innjury record we shouldn't have gone anywhere near him.

Without doubt the worst piece of transfer business we have ever done, and there has been quite a few !!!
Any would be chairman should look at this deal before employing Hughes.
18m and £90k per week for a player that has had one injury free season in his whole career.
We will be lucky to get 3m for him !

Hughes' transfer dealing were usually quite good but this was a shocker for the price. He correctly identified we needed a Plan B up-front but picked the wrong player and compounded it by paying way over the odds.

I guess that means we will definitely sign a replacement because if he is gone we will only have Tevez and Ade left...
Next year we have alot of fixtures to play with europe . No doubt roque will not be first choice so it will allow us to play him in the early rounds of the competition cos Santa Cruz is not a bad striker and with him upfront we are more than capable of turnin over some unpronouncable shit team . On his day when he plays he can be very good . stayin injury free he could be a very good squad player nipping in with several goals , important ones at that aswell
