Roque Santa Cruz [merged]

Ive said it before but....

I was at old trafford last year when united played and he gave one of the best centre forward displays i saw all year. Know lots of rags who feel the same.

Half of his injurys/spells out last year were him not wanting to be at blackburn

Hes a fantastic signing and alongside barry improves us as a team/squad.

If we can just get one "big name" signing to keep all those who want one happy then well be laughing

agreed mate, hughes will know everything about his injurys and how bad they are , like you said, reckon there was fuck all wrong with him most of the time just didnt want to play

why rag ?

with him in the side fit he could be the player we need away from home. we were to light weight last seasson and trust me know i aint no rag a blue for 31 years

Given
Richards Ned/VK Lescott Bridge
SWP De Jong Ireland Robbie
Eto'o RSC

Would finsih top 4 with that as a first 11

Ireland 4 SWP...Barry 4 Ireland...Tevez 4 Etoo?

Ireland 4 SWP...Barry 4 Ireland...Tevez 4 Etoo?

Not for me. Ireland best player last year, why change his position. Barry will fit in somewhere granted. Eto'o is far better than Tevez

 

[Dobsy87]

Will be a good signing. However, with us only playing one up front, wave goodbye to the prospect of eto'o signing.

 

[stevec78]

maybe he wants more options so we could sign tevez eto and rsc

or we play the interchangable front three, similar to united, chelsea and barca ;)

RSC will provide backup for Eto'o, especially in January, and give more options. I think we will play 4-3-3 at home with Robbie, Eto'o and Tevez up top.

It's droolworthy, is it not?

To be honest, i can't quite see Eto'o signing for us. Simply because he's got everything right so far, i'm going to believe spursmad, who says the deal is off unless he dramatically lowers his wage demands.

I reckon our main front 3 will be Robbie, RSC, Tevez. This would still be very good, but it has no pace whatsoever. In fact, for this very reason (lack of pace), we may see a few different combinations throughout the season to mix it up a bit. I'm sure Hughes will want to rotate to keep certain players fresh and RSC and Bellamy will be injured at certain points. So Robbie-Bellamy-Tevez, Robbie-Bellamy-SWP, Robbie-Tevez-SWP, Robbie-RSC-SWP will all be seen at some stage in my opinion. Also, Petrov will come in for Robbie every now and then to give him a rest. It will be a squad game next year.
