Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson is confident that boss Sam Allardyce will spent wisely for the Ewood Park club this summer.

Allardyce is likely to be armed with the cash raised by striker Roque Santa Cruz's expected exit from Rovers, with Robinson fully supportive of his manager.

He told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "It's not for us to speculate about Roque. It's a silly time when people are going here, there and everywhere.

"But one of the manager's qualities is in the transfer market.

"We're a club that's financially stable, but we aren't able to throw millions of pounds left, right and centre.

"The manager's very good at knowing the type of player he wants and dealing in the market to get what he wants, so he'll do what's right for the team and the club.

"If we do lose Roque, I'm sure the manager will use the funds cleverly to improve the squad."
