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.

Manucho was brought to cover a well defined role ie that of fourth striker. In the past few months he scored bucketloads of goals at both international and club level which sort of justify the choice. I wonder what you would have said if we brought a striker from Molde or Tonnerre Yaounde, the clubs Ole and George Weah played with when they were old as Manucho.
What we need is a young striker (or fairly young) whom while adding a new dimension to our side, he will accept the bench + he wouldnt cost a fortune. I wouldnt go through the muppetery route by starting mentioning names. Stating that I believe that there are good strikers out there who wouldnt cost the club 20m. Adebayor himself signed with Arsenal for a fraction of that sum (around 3m). Wouldnt you be happy if we got the new Adebayor or would you still want to spend 20m for a striker?
