There are a fair few successful Rovers players who have left us to better their careers only to find it's gone a bit pear shaped. Maybe players need to understand that the only thing we can't compete with is the huge amounts of money in the game but apart from that, it's a pretty good place to work!!

Just stumbled on a nice little piece regarding us and Roque HERE

:rover:

That's a fantastic piece, that puts into words exactly how I felt about these players leaving. If you look at the McCarthy, Bellamy, Bentley and Santa Cruz situations, there has been a pattern in how events on folded. They all enjoyed great starts to their flagging careers, get rewarded with new contracts and profess their loyalty to the club and their love of the fans. Their fine form starts to generate rumours about 'bigger' clubs being interested and when asked about it by reporters, they talk about how happy they are and then there is the big 'but.' This usually comes in the same sentence as when they are talking about their love for the club and goes along the lines of 'but I'm ambitious and want to play at the highest possible level, challenge for trophies and hope that I can do this with Blackburn.' They know fine rightly that we aren't going to be able to compete with the big boys and it's from here that the story picks up and the players start getting linked with perceived better teams and when asked about the players talk about how flattered they are, but they are only thinking about Blackburn. Then before you know it they are talking openly about wanting to play for that team, who are in Europe and who can win trophies. Of the four, Bentley and Bellamy are the only ones to have left, but there are similarities between all these players and others from other clubs who all of a sudden have wanted out when someone 'better' has come calling.

According to Ceefax Fottball Gossip, City have allegedly old Us that Sturridge wont be part of any deal..If this this so there could be sonething going on behind the scenes.....

We should just tell them that if Sturridge isn't going to be part of any deal - than neither will Roque be.

Hughes has spoken to SSN again about Roque in order to further unsettle the player :rolleyes: :

"It is well documented that we have put in a number of bids for Santa Cruz."

"He is a player I have worked with before and I think that he could help us."

"Obviously it has been going on for some time now and it is obviously Blackburn's prerogative to turn down any offer we make."

"We are trying to move that process forward."

Do you not read Nicko on Nickos thread.

To clarify, Nicko stated Sturridge wants to see out this season, see what happens in the summer regarding wether or not hes signs a new contract with City. Clearly keeping his options open come the summer sounds like a smart kid - sign him on Sam.
