The 7 subs rule is good because it allows to effectively have 4 strikers in the squad.

Something like this next season is what i'd expect.

Rooney, Tevez, New striker, Wellbeck/Manucho.

I wouldn't complain about that as long whoever is brought in (if anyone at all) is of the required quality.

Like i said though, none of us know for sure what Fergie has planned. He could bring in two strikers or none all, i just think line-up above is what is likely. Allows him to spend big on one striker, especially with what we'll get for Saha (which may be feck all, but hopefully a decent amount off someone willing to gamble on his injury problems) and that would probably be it for the spending unless we do go for a right back as well.
