[Archived] Roque Santa Cruz Return - Done Deal

[chaddyrovers]

This is Kamy.

Been told that the Roque deal is all but done. Been told by 2 very reliable sources. Believe that all the remains is the formalities such as the medical.

No idea how much Rovers are paying in terms of Wages or if the deal includes an agreed fee which Rovers can activate should they wish to make the deal permanent.

we trust you Kamy. Your sources are excellent and you wouldn't have posted it otherwise

[andyrover]

if things go well for him maybe we can swap him in the summer for a few of our doom & gloom boys of here welcome back Roque

Crocky jokes aside, is that really a formality?

[Mc Love]

Turn your back on rovers then come crawling back. Not impressed with this at all, hope he gets booed on his first match

:D

Love it.

He/she is the new Big Fat Sam

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Without doubt - his first season at Rovers was as good as any centre forward since Sutton. Oh if we could have just kept Bellamy - what a season that would have been.

All depends on which RSC we get - first or second season.

[Mc Love]

here's hoping he fails the medical

[Valois]

If that's real, then may God have mercy on our souls.

This has to be my favourite post on that Tweet account -

Yeah, that'd be helpfull.

Alternatively, we could get behind him and try to spur him on to match his previous success with us. Just a thought.

Hear his on about £60,000 a week. City should pay at LEAST half. At LEAST.

Totally agree with this, as soon as City came sniffing he had his heart set on a big pay package, not even thinking about Rovers.... I would love him to get booed...

YAWN!

[Iceman]

as a footballer he is good when fit, however the way he left, still makes me angry. 6 month loan deal, well thats best for both parties imo. Its in midfield ffs that needs strengthening, why cant any manager ffs see that ffs

[SergioPeter89]

So why on earth did he sign a new deal with Rovers after the interest from City came?

[LWX]

Far from impressed. This shows all the signs that Rovers simply havent progressively moved on since this takeover.

When fit he's streets ahead of what we've got at the moment, and I doubt he would've come back, even on a 6 month loan, without the takeover!

How utterly pathetic, pantomime villain culture at its worst.*

He didn't 'turn his back' on us. Does every departing player automatically become a hate figure now? We got offered ridiculous money that we were probably all too happy to take.

He probably roughly trebled his money going to City, do you honestly think he should have turned it down?

*apologies if it's a joke!

[DE.]

Not particularly impressed, but I'm willing to give him a chance. A decent striker when fit and receiving good supply, sadly we're going to struggle with both so I'm pessimistic that this will work out.

At least Grella will have a new buddy now that Dunny's actually fit again.

[RoverMad86]

Nico and Roque up front, nice. Hope Hoillet can continue his good form, whipping balls in from the right, Olsson on the left doing the same. Good!

[steo]

Without getting the big fees for players like roque,bentley even warnock who knows where we would be now.

[jim mk2]

Provided he doesn't get injured in the warm-up there's no point playing Roque without Olsson and /or Pedersen plus Hoilett to supply the crosses. Hendry was a notable exception but players returning to their former clubs rarely works out.

[Valois]

He was hardly going to turn down a move to City was he? With the money they were spending, and the players were they were bringing in, hardly going stick around at lil old Rovers, I dont know many that have. Booing him is hardly going to acheive anything, but alienate the player, and make him think why the hell did I come back.

He scored plenty in his first season, and we made a tidy profit on his sale to City, get a grip, booing him, seriously.

*apologies if it's a joke!

Everyone knew he was injury prone, so getting a huge fee for him was brilliant and the fact that as soon as City came sniffing he left, I know we are a selling club, but would it hurt for some players to be motivated by the game and not the money??

I wouldnt like if we signed him permanently as he wouldnt be worth it.

I just hope he can stay injury free and works his socks off.... (booing was prob harsh) but he has to know he cant come waltzing back in to Ewood and expect to play, he has to earn our respect, and one match wont cut it.

Roque, proove to yourself and the fans that you can do the business, otherwise you can jog on!
