Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has advised Manchester City that
Roque Santa Cruz is no longer for sale.
"There is not the opportunity now to get the quality of striker
we need to allow us to even consider letting Roque Santa Cruz move
to Manchester City," said Allardyce.
"So for me, he stays, although I can't put it to bed completely
until the deadline has passed.
"It's impossible, from any manager's point of view, to see what
happens between now and then.
"But I certainly wish it was the 3rd of February tomorrow."
