Ricster, seems to get a lot of stick from city fans who have a different view to him, I don't rate the signing of injury prone players any more than he does and we should be able to express that view with out, accusations of "an agenda"
Next season will prove whether it was a good signing or not.

I've never seen Ricster get stick before, and i think, as explained earlier, to which he agreed with, i had reasons to sound his views out as similar as to those without looking at all the sides, i.e an agenda.

Infact you've agreed with it yourself to an extent. How can be dismiss a player so conclusively when he's not even signed for us yet? He's shown he can score 18 goals in a season with a team like B'burn, he may well have dragged his injury out at Bburn to engineer a move away.

Theres a difference between "expressing views" and some of Ricster's posts in this thread imo.

What is also worrying about RSC is he must have been injured for most of the season imo.
"If he dragged out his injury at Blackburn in order to engineer a move away" Why! would we sign a player for city who could do that to us!!.
It is heat of the moment stuff for most fans, whether for or against RSC. Lets hope it works out and he doesn't have any setbacks.

Some thoughts on the knee issue.

Personally I think he'll be ok.

Roque has a 'wash out'
Posted on: Wed 15 Apr 2009

Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz has undergone an arthroscopy on his right knee to clear up the injury which has sidelined him in recent weeks.

The arthroscopy, carried out in Germany, showed a minor degree of wear and tear which required a wash out but no active surgical procedure.

Roque, who will now have a period of re-hab from the arthroscopy, is also nursing a calf injury

Manager Sam Allardyce said: "The news is positive and we will see how the knee responds, but the long-term prognosis is excellent."

Well he would say that wouldn't he????!?! He knew he would be selling him come end of the season. Only a complete numpty would say "it's a major worry - he could need he leg amputating"!

More to the point when the knee was opened up, they did not need to take any action. He's had knee problems with Bayern as well so City need to look at this.

I know people are intitled to have an opinion, that's ok, but i feel i have to post this because people are making me feel sick with there views.

If we were still owned by Thakshin the signing of RSC would be welcomed with open arms, people would be fairly happy that we have a striker who has been capable of scoring 20 goals in the premier league with a rubbish team like blackburn. It's disgusting, now we are "the richest club in the world" we should be expecting a squad of galactico's? It's disgracfull, i feel sorry for players like Cruz and Bellemy who are being judged and abused by our fickle 'fans'.

Secondly when was the last time we had a striker capable of getting 20+ goals in one season in the premier league? The people comparing him to corradi and samaras are comical.

Yes he is injury prone, but so what, would you turn your noses up if we signed van persie, eduardo or gillardino?

Is the transfer window closed already? Is it not true that we are being consistantly linked with tevez and eto'o also? With one of our most trusted 'ITK's' saying that tevez has basically signed 99.9% adding credibility to the papers (spursman321), you galactico hunters will still get someone to get on the back of your new shirt.

People really need to stop being little brats spitting there dummies out, im not saying RSC is going to get us 30 goals and be a world beater, but i am not judging him before he even plays for us!

sorry but i disagree........we have been linked with RSC for a while.....and i thikn while thaskin was in charge as well......and even then i didnt want him....its not about wanting superstars....its about the type pof player for me we are getting.......i would rather have a younger player for less money with less of a worrying injury record who has different attributes to RSC....as this is what can make the difference.......we need the type fo forward who can create on his own, play on the shoulder of the last man, beat people with power and pace,

RSC plays like a post in basketball....he sticks in the middle....with him int he team we will have tpo play a quite rigid formation....he wont be playing upfront on his own and noone of the top teams really play 4-4-2 nowadays (certainly chelski utd liverpool dont.....they have player s who drift and and interchangeable....a fluid forward line if you will....RSC doesnt offer this option

he's 27 years old in his prime and could play for another 5 years and is better than what weve got how is rsc a bad signing
u talk s**t mate
 
You better watch out, you better beware,
he's good with his feet, and he's good in the air,
Santa Cruz is coming to town.

Not happy about this signing, especially the fee, and hate the fact that Fatboy will be laughing about the money he's getting for a crocked striker but I'll get behind him and support him just like I do with everyone who wears the blue shirt. I don't want him and would never sign him and would prefer to put the money towards Eto'o or someone else but I have faith in Hughes as he has only made 1 bad signing since he joined.
