Mark Hughes and Manchester City make move for Santa Cruz

City have finally established formal contact with Blackburn as they look to secure the signing of Santa Cruz in a deal worth in the region of £15 million.

John Williams, the Blackburn chairman, was quoted yesterday lunchtime as saying that he had yet to receive a formal offer from City for Santa Cruz, but contact has since been made between the clubs at boardroom level, with Hughes hopeful that a deal for the Paraguay forward can be concluded sooner rather than later.

Here is this morning's Lancashire Telegraph article.

Diouf was a priority but it looks like he is now wanted by Sunderland and is staying there; it reads as though he was a target as much as anything because it looked like he was available which is the reality for all January window activity unless a club is going in at a price way over the odds.

Significant paragraph at the bottom given it is an article from this morning- no contact from Man City.

This Times article is an extremely well balanced reflection on the Roque situation and on the City failings.

To give you an idea of how screw ball the Mail's current reporting on Rovers matters is, read this piece on Ben Haim then read the piece in post number 35 above.

I am not going to post a link to it because all kinds of horrible things happen when you go on the Star website but they reckon City will not go to £18m and therefore it looks likely Roque is staying put.

Typical Sun- the headline bears no relationship whatsoever to the story about Rovers/Roque/City! Love the bit where it says Rovers will bid £20m for Bellamy and Parker. A Grauniad sub-editor slumming it at the super soaraway?

Any chance of a translation??

I used Google's "Language Tools".

"The Sport Lisboa e Benfica - Futebol, SAD received and accepted an offer from Blackburn Rovers, emblem that militates in English Premier League, to release his player, Marc Zoro, for a week, for a trial period.

Marc Zoro, internacional da Costa do Marfim, integra o plantel do Benfica (ao qual chegou em 2007/08). Marc Zoro, the Ivory Coast international, is the squad's Benfica "

Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce has told Paraguay striker Roque Santa Cruz that he will have to wait until the summer before making a move to Manchester City. (Daily Mail)

City will have to offer £18m, or Daniel Sturridge, if they wish to sign Santa Cruz this month. (The Guardian)
