The signing of RCS should have seen Hughes sacked instantly, asking to sign RSC should have led to his instant dismissal.
Just done a little digging to confirm what I thought, RSC has scored more than 5 league goals just once in his 10 years in European Football, and that was at Blackburn. His best season in Germany was 03-04 where he managed to play 29 times and scored a whopping 5 goals.
He had one good season for Blackburn then reverted to type and scored 4 in 20 something games, so obviously we signed him!
The guy has averaged just over 15 league appearances in over 10 seasons in European Football.
Truly awful signing, Hughes was a clown in the market, thank god he's gone.
A snip it from wiki regarding Crocky Santa Cruz, "Santa Cruz was unexceptional at Bayern as he only scored five goals in his first season with the club, a series of injuries, and heavy competition between forwards (including Élber Giovane, Roy Makaay and Claudio Pizarro) for the German giants limited his impact."
He is a handsome devil though, I will give him that!
