Where have you been? Until the last minute they never really did!

Ive been living in Northern Ireland for 25 years believe it or not! Where have you been? We had the chance to sell him and we didn't. What use was he from that? All we have done there is lost money!

We had the chance to sell him but not for the cash that would have got us a suitable replacement, at least not in time to get one. We didn't know he wouldn't play for most of the rest of the season. Allardyce and the club took an informed risk. Hindsight is wonderful. This is old ground that has been gone over so many times - you believe what you want. I happen to think that if the management had felt that selling Santa Cruz for what was on offer was best for the club, they'd have done it. they didn't, therefore they didn't think it was and since it's their job to make these decisions, I value their opinion on the matter, being in possession of all the facts about the offer and timing of it, more than I value that of anyone else, myself included.

It's a win-win situation for Rovers providing he remains fit for the new season ahead.

If he remains fit and doesn't turn back into the sulky lump of @#/? he was at Bayern when he didn't get a move.

We missed the boat of getting a bundle of cash from City in January but that doesn't mean we shouldn't get rid for less.

I wouldn't rule City out. They'll give us a laugh, chading every striker in Europe and end up settling for Roque.

In the middle of a relegation dogfight, would it have been healthy for morale to sell our best striker? It would have signalled our descent into the Championship.

After missed half of season it shouldn´t be about few days..

It was reported two weeks ago that the second Paraguay game was the target for his return.

The significance of the second game is Paraguay probably can guarrantee at least coming 5th by winning it and thereby be virtually assured of qualification for South Africa.

£10m? Take it, he doesn't get a penny of it. I just want shut at this point, no one is going to pay £20m for him now.

I'll be happy with 10m plus Bentley!

Or 15m cash, since roque will not get any of that too.

dont think bentley would come back and do we really want him?

if spuds up it to 15 million then for me he should go.... BS wants chimbonda so maybe 12 million + chimbonda and they can have santa cruz....

i think i would prefer 8 million + bent.....

I can understand why, when you factor in how much Sam will likely get to spend from the sale (if its £12 million), its only really going to pay for a new striker and not much else.

What will make it happen?? Only £20m?

No point in selling him for a low price. You would be as well keeping him.

£20 million was his value...no need to drop it.
