This is from ssn

Quote:
Roque Santa Cruz is undergoing a medical at Manchester City ahead of his proposed move to Eastlands.

The long-term City target is finally set to complete his switch from Blackburn for a fee believed to be around £18million.

City manager Mark Hughes has been a big admirer of the striker ever since he signed him for £4million while still in charge at Ewood Park.

Following an impressive debut season in the Premier League, where he scored 18 league goals, Hughes tried to take the Paraguay international with him to City last summer but Rovers stood firm.

Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce then managed to keep hold of his man during the winter transfer window despite further strong advances from the Blues and the player expressing a desire to move on.

But with the Rovers boss needing to raise funds in order to bring players in ahead of the new season City have finally landed their man, subject to a successful medical.

If the deal does go through, as expected, the 27-year-old will return to his old stomping ground a little sooner than he would have expected with Rovers hosting City on the opening day of the Premier League season.

It's on the SS website now

skysports


Sky Sports News understands Roque Santa Cruz has edged a step closer to joining Manchester City after passing his medical.

The 27-year-old underwent a number of tests with the club's medical staff, a process lasting a total of four-and-a-half hours, with doctors paying considerable attention to the front-man's knee which kept him out for sustained periods last term.

The Paraguay international is now expected to travel to the City of Manchester Stadium where he is expected to put the finishing touches on his contract.

However, Santa Cruz is not expected to be officially unveiled as a City player until some time next week to allow for manager Mark Hughes to return from his holiday.

The City boss will be delighted with the news after trailing the former Bayern Munich man for some time.

The Welshman tried and failed to land Santa Cruz last summer when he left his post at Blackburn to take over at Eastlands. Hughes was not put off and went in for his former charge in January but after a drawn out saga Rovers again stood firm.

Finally it now seems that City have landed their man for a fee believed to be around £18million.

Santa Cruz will get the chance to return to Ewood Park a little earlier than expected, with Blackburn scheduled to host City on the opening day of the Premier League season.

Santa Cruz looks set to become City's second transfer of the summer after the signing of Gareth Barry from Aston Villa earlier this month.

He's only 21 or something - loan him out to Everton or Fulham for another season. If he scored 15-20 goals keep him, if he's a bit shit get rid.

Now on the OS . .

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/default.sps?pageid=115&pagegid=%7BDBD12D53%2D8346%2D431D%2DA04F%2D5D0F8664DE80%7D&newsid=6634880&siteid=&pageno=&newscategory=&frommonth=4&fromyear=2009&tomonth=6&toyear=2009


Roque Santa Cruz has finally renewed his successful working relationship with Mark Hughes by becoming the delighted Blues manager's second major signing of the summer at the City of Manchester Stadium.

Hughes plucked highly-rated Paraguay striker Santa Cruz from Bayern Munich two years ago for Blackburn and he responded by scoring 23 goals in 43 games in a great debut season for Rovers.

City's boss was keen for Santa Cruz to join his Blues revolution both last summer and in January, when the clubs were unable to agree a deal, but now the 27-year-old centre-forward follows Gareth Barry into the senior squad.

Roque began his professional career in with Olimpia Asuncion in his home town, helping them to two championship titles and himself to the Paraguayan Footballer of the Year award in 1999.

His eye-catching form earned him a move to Germany and he spent seven years with Bayern, making 155 appearances and helping them to three Bundesliga titles, the domestic double, and the Champions League in 2001.

Roque's brilliant debut season for Rovers - including a hat-trick in a thrilling 5-3 defeat at Wigan - soon convinced other top managers that he would make the Premier League grade, but he went to the head of Hughes' wish list almost as soon as they had parted company at Ewood Park.

Roque made his debut for Paraguay as a 17-year-old and has gone on to win 60 more caps. He is expected to lead their attack at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and clock up a third appearance in the finals.

Quotes from Roque Santa Cruz will follow shortly only on mcfc.co.uk

He'd better not run
He'd better not leap
Cause his knee will collapse and he'll fall in a heap
Santa Cruz is injury prone!

That's better. But I hope to God he stays fit and plays well.

I feel mean now. I think he's just the sort of player we need.

Garry Cooke is hoping that RSC doesn't notice that the contract states that all he is entitled to is one replica training top for 5 years service.
