Manucho may be effective. We don't know. I just don't believe he is going to be the next Drogba or Adebayor.

Although he has played more games lately and has played well. Its just that the premiership is an entirely different ball game, compared to the level he has played at. Making him not the most dependable player if Rooney or Tevez were injured.

Ok then, any suggestions to who this new young striker will be? Who won't cost anywhere near 20m?

Wouldn't make sense, plus SAF has a habbit of going for more established players. Unlike Wenger.
