After a le s than pulsating previous week in the transfer market, Man City seem to have sprung into action. Following the arrival of Gareth Barry from Aston Villa, the Blues have confirmed the signing of Paraguayan striker Roque Luis Santa Cruz Cantero from Blackburn after the forward pa sed a medical at Eastlands yesterdayafternoon, and there is a high probability that Manchester United glamour-boy Carlos Tevz will join as well.The deal was confirmed on Citys official club website at Aaron Holiday Jersey 5.22pm yesterday and it is believed that the Blues parted with over 17 million for the services of Santa Cruz, who is thought tohavecomfortably pa sed a rigorousmedical. There had been slight concern about the condition of the Paraguayan, especially with regard to his knee, an area in which he suffered a serious injury last season.Having already worked with Mark Hughes Amida Brimah Jersey , the forward, who will add some much-neededheight to Citys Leviathan attack, is highly regarded by Sparky, and City have had countle s bids rejected on previous occasionsfor Santa Cruz. In last January alone, it was reported that City had four offers turned down, with Sam Allardyce unwilling to sell the player with Blackburns relegation still po sible. But it seems that the Blues persistence has finally paid off and Mark Hughes will be delighted with his second addition to the squad this summer.Lets hope that Citys kitmen can do a better job than their Blackburn counterparts The former Bayern Munich striker started his career at a local club in Paraguay before sealing a move to the Germans in 1997. There, he scored 31 goals in over 150 appearances whilst cementing his Alize Johnson Jersey place in the national side, where he has currentlynetted 20 goals in 61 matches. Unfortunately, he fell behind Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose in the striking pecking order, and he was promptly signed by Mark Hughes for Blackburn Rovers. In his first season in the Premier League, he was Blackburns standout performer, scoring on his debut and providing the supporters with much to cheer about. He finished the campaign as their top scorer and was linked in the Myles Turner Jersey summer with a move to City.Ultimately, he signed a new long-term contract at Blackburn, but with Hughes departing and being replaced by Sam Allardyce, Santa Cruz never regained his form of the previous campaign. A severe injury played its part in disrupting his season, and as the January transfer window approached, he was linked on a plethora of occasions with City. A move never Indiana Pacers Hats materialised and he recovered from injury to take his place in the Rovers side which avoided relegation narrowly.How Santa Cruz may look in a City shirtIn my opinion, this is another very good signing for City, as long as Santa Cruz is able to stay injury-free. Mark Hughes knows the player very well, so if he was this intent on buying him for City, then I will fully support the manager. Santa Cruz will add physical presence to the Citizens strike force, and it will be interesting to see if he is T.J. McConnell Jersey partnered by Craig Bellamy, who would add pace to the attack, or by Valeri Bojinov, whose link-up play is second to none. Alternatively, there is a strong po sibility that another striker may join the club, with Carlos Tevz and Samuel Etoo both strongly linked to City. Whatever happens, the future is bright; the future is blue.Please let me know below what you think of this arrival.
