Not reading all the 30 odd pages of this thread but, and I know that this will be controversial, I like Roque. It was not his fault that he got injured, he didn't walk out on to the pitch and say I am going to injure myself today. It wasn't his fault that he lost his place because of the injuries and when he came back Roberto Mancini was in charge and didn't want him for the team he planned.
No player, whatever team they play for, goes out to get deliberately injured.
Good luck RSC wherever you may go. I will always applaud your appearances if you come back with another Premiership team.
My opinion, so sue me!!

Irruta has passed his medical, is in Malaga & should sign on wednesday
Santa Cruz has agreed terms, we are waiting for paperwork from Man City & to give our payment guarantee. Once that is done & the medical completed he will sign
Fontas, the young central defender from Barcelona is in negotiation to sign. He's been told he is surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp & to find a new Club so he is also expected to sign quickly
The Saviola negotiations have been re-opened. He is also surplus to requirements at his Club, he has agreed lower Terms than he is on at the moment as he wants to join Pellegrini at the Club. We have told Benfica that we plan to hold on to Eliseu & dont want to make him part of the deal!!
There is also a rumour that we are interested in Jeffren, the ex Barcelona winger/midfielder but there is not much info around about how those negotiations are progressing??

That's anything but controversial. It's a good post and I agree with pretty much every word of it.
We as a club need to take some of the responsibility for signing RSC and it not working out - Hughes for one for being persistent in his pursuit and not looking at alternative targets, but also whoever sanctioned paying £17 million for a striker that was injured at the time. I reckon a fit Santa Cruz could've been a good signing for us back then - he shat goals for fun at Blackburn - but once we didn't get him in the January '09 window, we shouldn't have gone back in the summer and signed him while he was still recovering from that operation.

That post above says we're waiting for a 'payment guarantee', so it looks like we're getting a fee!
