Man City Reportedly Settle On RSC Fee

By: Jimmy | June 19th, 2009

Sky sports news reports that Rovers and Man Citeh have reached an agreement on a fee for Roque Santa Cruz. The report claims the fee to be in the area of £18million; without a doubt a huge boost to our summer transfer kitty. In addition, if the deal with Matty Derbs goes through, we could be looking at a summer spending account of a little over £20million. That’s huge for us.

Now I will be a little sad to see the threat that is Roque go. I will not be upset one bit to see him go though. He had a stellar first season with us, but MH seemed to blow too much smoke up his arse and ever since then, his interviews and reports begging for a move to a “bigger club” have been a prick and a prick to the side one too many times.

I am definitely looking forward to the funds we would have if this sale goes through, a huge summer for the club could be in the works.

Is anyone else going to be sad about this Roque departure? Any strikers you would love to (realistically) see at the club? Let me know. UP THE ROVERS!!

  Hey if we spend that cash well I’m all for it. Good riddance to him and his “knee injuries”. I really think our front line isn’t the issue (I love seeing Samba giving defenders fits…even though he isn’t a real “striker”). We NEED a decent midfielder.

  we could get that guy that was a bust that ajax payed like 19 mil for on the cheap and revive his career just like we did for Roque. Sad to see him go though, should go after Martins

  Adios, RSC. Thanks for the goals your first season, and thanks for the money this off-season…you won’t really be missed…

  I’d like to see Jozy Altidore (or another big-bodied striker)
