The only 'variation' we need is someone who will finish the majority of their chances and play on the shoulder of the defence. Hunterlaar certainly has a finish - but he lacks almost everything Tevez brings to the team in his place. Too limited. He's not that good at holding the ball up. He's very basic with his link up play. And will completely drift out of matches.

His goalscoring record for Holland is good and they sure as hell don't build the team around him, not in the slightest.

He plays as the single front man between 2 wingers. Thats a team built around a single goal scorer.
For us to do that... Rooney is playing left wing... again.
I'd certainly prefer to keep Rooney and Tevez as the first choice partnership. And if we're bringing in a 3rd choice, its going to need to be someone who can come straight into our current tactics, like Saha could. Besides, I read an article a few months ago where Hunterlaar was saying he wants to be first choice.
