Can I refer people to this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=119&t=28341&p=50259&hilit=+santa+cruz+boo+boy#p50259Santa Cruz in my opinion is fucking shit, always has been and always will be. I vehemently opposed us licking his balls for 12 months before paying a ridiculous price for him. What irked me even more though, and my reason for starting that thread in November was that Hughes played him with Bentley and Pederson at Blackburn, yet when he got fit here played him on his own, up front without wingers who could cross.
Last night we played with 2 wingers after we had been twatted for an hour, both of whom were totally ineffective anyway and lost the ball on nearly every occasion they had it, and he had a strike partner who is genuinely the laziest and most workshy player I have ever seen in a City shirt.
He most probably eclipses Lee Bradbury for transfer fee to talent ratio, but as shit as he is, he is here now,he is better than Benjani, and until the fuckwits managing the club play to his strengths, he might as well not be on the pitch - that is NOT his fault, he can only do his best at the job he is asked to do.
