Rovers reject Roque bid.

Blackburn Rovers
by Rover-the-Top (U1751589) 14 August 2008
comment on the article

Another blunt statement from the club:

www.rovers.premiumtv.co.uk/p...

"A bid came in last night and it was immediately rejected.

"Various Manchester City officials have been advised on a number of occasions that the player would not be for sale.

"We are very disappointed, therefore, that they have continued their interest."

Also bear in mind Cruz is the only player Mark Hughes has come back for since leaving EWOOD PARK, in the meantime I suggest the little club from Darwen concentrate on avoiding relegation

-------------------------------------------

Didnt you go for big Brad but couldnt afford the wages? I'm pretty sure you enquired about Bentley too.

How can we not have a better squad than you when we FINISHED ABOVE YOU 3 SEASONS RUNNING.......and that is, as they say, FACT.

Loving all the anti city comments comming from plastic manc's "who thought old trafford was an after shave before fergie came along" and little minded people trying kick up a fuss, to the fan making comments about our council house from Blackburn its still better than your shed, as for Santa Cruz he would be a great asset to us but we still have the squad to secure a top half finish to the season lets see how it all ends up before making pathetic comments about relegation some people on hear reall should grow up!!! c'mon Mark Hughes City!!! c.t.i.d + I am actually from Manchester not plastic!!! cheers

MancBlueloz - we HAVE a squad that HAS achieved a top ten finish for the last three years less two players + two players so far.

So your advice for those Citeh fans predicting relegation for us would be the same then. Sense prevailing maybe?

Personally I'm glad we didn't get him, if Santa Cruz can repeat last seasons performance then yes, he's worth it. With Bentley leaving I cant see him doing much this season.

Blackburn have done brilliantly the last few years, punching far above their weight but I think with Ince in charge you will struggle.

As for the comparison with leeds, thats just nonsense. Leeds gambled on champions league football income and not a single one of our players earns anything like what at least 11 leeds players earned.

EXCELLENT, made my day that post!!"

All from Citeh fans

Please same Citeh fans answer me this? How much did you spend last year in comparison to us (under £5m)? How well did you do. Money don't buy you everything. Uncertainty over money certainly doesn't!!

If Roque does eventually go it will be to a bigger club and not to City!

I bet you're glad that no-one knows your name.

What a dire performance.

3-0 to City? Were you talking about Man C men or women?
