Default Roque Santa Cruz

People are obviously going to think I'm saying this just 'cos he scored yesterday. However for a few months I've thought he may be a good signing for us but kept it to myself. But the other night during a conversation (in real life) I mentioned he'd be a good signing, obviously he wouldn't be a popular choice. The way I see it no big striker is going to come in and sit on the bench, even Tevez can't get in the side in big games. So I think somebody like Santa Cruz would be a good signing, he would be pretty cheap and give us another dimension. He's good in the air, skillful and a decent finisher. I think we should sign him.

Santa Cruz and a right back would complete the squad, imo.

He'd never even been near 20 goals before blackburn. So Hughes has discovered a gem really. it just needed to be polished.

Top player and Hughes said he'd take giggs and scholes at the end of the season. Can play out wide too.

remember Merson saying how Santa Cruz wouldn't be able to cope physically in the premiership even though he'd never really seen much of him

Sorry, Hughes discovered a player who'd spent the best part of a decade at little known German outfit Bayern Munich?

He must have quite a network of scouts to pull something like that off.

Fergie was sniffing around blackburn before............When he went the game straight after ours...

I thought it was Peddie.

But i know someone that works at the club and he will let me know if anything comes around.

Benni > Sanni

Santa is younger than Benni and has more in his locker.

Talented player and score a range of different goals.

Roque for United, please.

Santa Cruz, Anderson, Tevez, the South American trio coming to tear you apart.

Cruz looks like he's bustin a move there.

Wouldn't have a problem with him or Benni arriving tbh.

I'd prefer Roque, but Benni would be a decent signing.

I definitely can see Fergie signing that type of striker, I don't think he'll spend big on a striker tbh.

I think there's a lot more to come from Tevez next season, and with Rooney we have 2 great strikers already so adding Roque to complete the trio with his ability will make our strike force complete.

Sign Roque.
