EPL News: Santa Cruz On his way out
One player whose immediate future at the City of Manchester Stadium is as good as over is, Roque Santa Cruz.
According to a press release that the player gave recently: "Unfortunately I'm not playing as I'd like,"
“The club have invested heavily, competition for places is great and I'm working every day to try to convince the coach but I'm still not getting picked. The situation is very complicated, I wanted to think well of it, but I'm not getting
the playing time to convince anybody and my priority is to leave in the January transfer market. The coach has opted for certain players and, on top of that, his system is to play with only one striker, so I have even fewer options."
It was a long time coming, but the player seems to have finally come to terms with the fact that there is no future for him at the Eastlands. Santa Cruz prior to joining City was quite possibly one of the best strikers in the Premier League,
however ever since his move to the Blue side of Manchester, the player has found it close to impossible to land a role in the starting eleven for the team. In fact Santa Cruz has been one of the least used players at the team. The fact that he wasn’t even
given an opportunity to prove his worth, made people question as to why exactly he was brought into the club in the first place.
There is however some good news for the player, whose career could use a major boost in the right direction. Fulham who have been long term admirers of the player, seem to have to have taken the players press release into account and are
looking to make a very tempting bid for the player.
The Cottagers are willing to offer as much as five million pounds for the player, which seems like a good bargain when considering the fact that player was easily worth around twenty million a couple of seasons ago. Nonetheless the player
has aged tremendously since then and is now twenty nine years old. The deal will however now solely depend on whether or not City are willing to part with a player who has no use in the club.
According to most experts, Santa Cruz could be a Fulham player by the end of the January transfer window.
