Blackburn no money for Jones and Santa Cruz 20.02.2011

Blackburn manager Steve Qin expressed concerns that because of financial reasons the club could not attract a permanent Roque Santa Cruz and Jermaine Jones.

Both came of Iiud Park in January for rent by the end of the season respectively, Manchester City and Schalke 04. The specialist confirmed that Blackburn has looked at the amounts against which clubs they would split with them.

"We tried to find prices Roque and Jermaine because it suggests that they will perform well. This does not happen. Their clubs do not agree to our conditions. I fear that summer will have to part with them," said Qin.
