Leaving or staying, the guy is clearly not fit at the moment and should not be playing.

Or he's been instructed to wrap himself in cotton wool til January?! <_<

He was certainly disappointing again today.

It's hard to tell whether it's because he isn't fully fit, is getting shocking service or wanting to save himself for his next club. I suspect it's probably all three, but even factoring in a lack of service today he was very quiet and somehow missed the one chance he had which was harder to miss than score.

I've just dug this out from 1st August 2007. Worth another read. Actually the writer could be talking about the Rovers rather than Bayern Munich.

http://football.guardian.co.uk/continental...2063637,00.html

Was talking to a guy at work (Everton fan) who was home from his posting in Oman for Xmas. He showed me a photo on his mobile of him ... and a certain Mr. R. Santa Cruz. Oman played Paraguay at then end of November in a friendly, and the guy was staying at the same hotel as the Paraguay team. He was chatting briefly to Roque and said that Everton could do with a striker and jokingly that Roque would fit the bill nicely. Roque laughed and said it wasn't possible as he was signing for Man City or Aston Villa in January ....

Fact is that if we can get some good service upto him and get him back to form, then he remains our best chance of staying up. Maybe even more so than the new manager himself, although he's gonna have to play a big part in the above.

End of the year meaning end of 2008 or end of the season? I think the former...

I would be shocked if he stays to be honest and with it looking likely that Man City will lose their primary midfield target in Diarra to Real Madrid, it would be interesting what happens with them and Roque.

Couple more defeats and Hughes could lose his job too...

A strong enough manager will just tell him to fulfill his contract.

What i am glad about is that the clause is at 18m, and not at 6 or 7m, like it was with Bellamy, even though both were equally effective for us.

Any chance we can get Bellamy back from W\ham?

I can't make my mind up on RSC, I start to think we should sell him because he's obviously not performing as he was, but now I'm intrigued as to what Sam can get out of him.

At this moment in time I'd like him to stay - perhaps we could offer to lower his clause price slightly if he stays until the Summer, then he can make his mind up. If Sam can get him going and find him a partner that could keep us.

This is what sam had to say when probed after the conference with sky

Time will tell whether Manchester City's offer for Roque Santa Cruz is too good to refuse but Allardyce did not even wait for the question of his departure, enough to finance perhaps four new players, to be concluded. "No," he growled. "Where are the players who can replace the quality of the players at this club already who have Premier League experience? Sell... your best players, particularly one of your leading goalscorers? It is not the case whatsoever."

THATS MORE LIKE IT!

Selling your best players is not for Sam
