Yes to comfort zone and yes to him being stupid imho
i am agreeing with the comfort zone element however i think Santa Cruz is a hell of a player.
my issue, same as with Bellers, is how fit we can keep him.
if RSC plays 30 games next year for us he will bag a sackful.

Re: 18m for Santa Cruz..Breaking News...Fee Agreed.
why are you so worried at the size of the fee? Its not as if we have a tight budget and it affects other deals!

I shall retract this statement if he plays well and scores many. But currently you have egg on your face.
Cant lose with that comment can you?
I would like to know how much we pay upfront and how much is based on apperances etc.
Still seems waaay too much money and makes us look like fools to other clubs

Re: 18m for Santa Cruz..Breaking News...Fee Agreed.
I tend to agree with that. You never know though! But it's likely we'll have a front 3 of Robinho-RSC-Tevez. This has a lot of attributes shared between it: Guile, flair, skill, vision, creativity, finishing (Robbie), strength, height, heading, hold-up play (RSC), trickery, determination, work-rate, passion, technique (Tevez). My main worry is that there is one glaring omission from this combined skill set: Pace. And this is a bit of a concern to me. But it still should be a good front line, and far better than what we've had to put up with in recent years!

and this means either one of ETO'O or TEVEZ wont be coming IMO!! :(

Re: Santa Cruz
Just been checking out his appearances he has only ever managed more than 30 in one season he is played thats pretty poor for a 28 year old. With him Bellamy and Bojinov we have 3 very injury proned centre forwards and just hope this does not cost us at the back end of the season.

Re: Santa Cruz
Tbf to Sparky he got slated for buying Bellers and I thought he was awesome before he got injured, he's training hard like Ireland over the summer and I believe is one of the best strikers in the PL when fit. At the end of the day, Hughes would only spend this type of money if he knows what he is getting and there is nobody that knows more about RSC's ability than Hughes and himself of course. We needed a target man and he will do for the next year or two but I would have preferred Crouch tbh.
