Roque-y Road Ahead

5754.jpgThe Santa Cruz saga is officially over and the Paraguay international has signed for Rovers.

The 25 year-old striker has signed from Bayern Munich for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £3.5 million.

Rovers have fought off competition from Manchester City, Porto and Espanyol for the players signature.

Hughes believes Santa Cruz will add an aerial threat to our ever-increasing attack.

So why is it that so many Bayern Munich fans are saying good riddance? That he is a lazy git? Guess we’ll have to wait and see…

    I know nothing about him, really, except that you might now have more female readers. Just saying, he’s very pretty.

    Roque has been plagued with injury which is why Bayern supporters are saying ‘good riddance’, I think. He’s one of the most underrated strikers at the moment, as far as I’m concerned. I’m sure Hughes hopes to pair him up with McCarthy- could be a very deadly strikeforce.

    McCarthy is my favourite EPL striker (as is Berbatov).
