Amid reports of possible bids for strikers, I wonder if the only
one we need is already on our books.
Wayne Rooney out, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer out, Carlos Tevez needs time
to settle so the goals have dried up. United, therefore, have been
linked to a number of players, most recently Dimitar Berbatov of
Spurs, Obafemi Martins of Newcastle and Adriano of Inter.
You may notice that I have omitted one of our strikers from the
list above and I've done that with a purpose. For I think that if
the rumours of Saha's imminent return are true then we need to
purchase no one at all.
First and foremost, Fergie insisted there would be no panic buys as
reaction to Rooney's injury. The aforementioned players hardly fall
into that category but what would we do when having all our
attackers fit? Imagine having Tevez, Rooney, Saha, Solskjaer and
Berbatov available at the same time - it would be unhealthy.
Louis Saha has all we need in him: quick, has very good technique,
essentially two-footed, can lead the line and hold up the ball and
scores goals. He's been training for the past 10 days now and
reports say Fergie will use him against Spurs on Sunday.
Even with his injury record, that piece of news tell me we no need
to buy strikers. We scored only one goal so far, courtesy of a
midfielder, Paul Scholes but with Saha and Tevez up front - that
would be a different story. If Louis could stay fit for a bit more
than a month (and that's not a big thing to ask, even from him)
then we'll have Rooney back.
I for one will be glad to see Saha among the starters if reports
prove to be true. Our attack will be much less predictable and
that's very important in the absence of Rooney and Ronaldo, our
main attacking powers. A comeback of the 2005/06 style would be
most welcome from King Louis.
If only we still had Rossi...
