It was reported that Santa Cruz had revealed to a local radio station his native Paraguay that he was relishing the idea of linking up with his ex manager Mark Hughes as well as Robinho at Manchester City, and playing for a team ‘that will be fighting for important objectives.’
The ex Bayern Munich striker signed a new four-year deal just this summer to show his commitment to the Rovers and that is all the evidence that Ince needs.
“Roque is not one to rock the boat. If that was the case he would have gone before the start of the season,” insisted Ince.
“He’s said he loves it at Blackburn and if he wasn’t here he would have signed a new four-year contract a few weeks ago.
“But we’re only a few weeks away from January, and it’s now that all the speculation starts.
“If there was an issue he would have come to see me, and he has not done that - so I presume he’s happy.”
