Verdict : Roque Santa Cruz
Name : Roque Santa Cruz
Age : 26
Club : Blackburn Rovers
Position : Striker
Cost : £3.5 million
Santa Cruz joined Blackburn from Bayern Munich during the summer with a reputation as tough striker that pops up with a goal on the odd occasion. He scored 31 goals during his time with the German giants but a long list of injuries prevented him from giving his very best form.
Since joining Rovers he has become a true fan favourite. He has scored 6 goals already this season with 4 assits also. His battling displays in the blue and white of Rovers has been tremendous and his partnership with Benni McCarthy has been very productive.
Many people taught Mark Hughes was taken a big risk when he splashed out £3.5 million on a player that was very injury prone but at this moment in time that figure looks a right bargain. If he continues this form there is no doubt he will be a huge asset for Rovers.
