Well have to agree with your last assessment James,

At the same time, if you want to engage other members and want them to post. A quick non descript response isn't the way to do it.

As for your assessment on Santa Cruz [Nice by the way!!!]. I think it goes against what Sir Alex and United have been trying to do in terms of looking to youth.

With Welbeck waiting in the wings and Saha missing in action, when United decide to fill in Saha's spot, I'm wondering if they won't look for a player in the 24-28 range who fits in the style of the team and possibly has european experience.

IF United were looking to sign Cruz, they have a way in with Hargreaves. Both former Bayern Munich players, they are great friends and I'm sure Hargo would have nice things to say about the club.

Right now Cruz gets to start, is playing on an up and coming team and is doing something he hasn't done consistently in awhile due to inury. SCORE. He'll stay at Ewood Park.

As you stated, I would find it highly unlikely that he would accept a bench role after sparkling this season with the Rovers.
