Roque Santa Cruz is desperate to kickstart his Manchester City career.
Fully fit after knee surgery, Santa Cruz said: "I can't wait to get out there," he said. "I don't think people realise how excited I am about making my debut - I just can' wait to do it. I think I'm in good shape to be involved in the West Ham game. Hopefully the rush won't make me take the wrong decision. Everything is looking positive with the knee; it has dealt with the stress I have been giving it. Now I need to get my match fitness."
He also said: "It was very tough watching the derby and, of course, really annoying at the end.
"As soon as I'm not involved, I turn into one more fanatic, biting my nails. During the game you have the chance to appreciate the football a bit, especially two such fantastic goals by Bellamy. I was jumping around celebrating, thinking that we'd drawn the game. It was a crazy game."
