Santa Cruz not going anywhere!

Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz has committed himself to the club by signing a new four-year deal.

The Paraguay international had been the subject of a bid from Manchester City earlier this summer as well as reported interest from several other clubs.

However, the 27-year-old has opted to pen a contract extension to tie him to Ewood Park until 2012.

That's a relief for me!!

Yeah, congrats on keeping him. I can only see him having another huge year, and that's great news for Rovers fans.

Hopefully so, definately a big boost for Rovers and us fans! Didn't think he was going when we signed his younger brother a few weeks ago, but you never know with all the specualtion flying around at transfer windows.
