Rumour has it that David Sullivan is about to dip into those audaciously large pockets and pull out the trump card that will save our season. A player who will be paid £100,000 a week. Someone who has been at the top. Has to be a striker - or a renowned goalscorer at least.
The early money is on Ruud van Nistelrooy, but for these kind of wages this ought to be a player who will play every second of every game, win every tackle, score every goal and become instantly adored by the fans. Two of Carlos Tevez basically. van Nistelrooy is (one... two...) none of those things.
I had to allow myself the fantasy of imagining who is actually available for free (or loan) and who matches Sullivan's criteria of 'very special'. If it isn't something akin to Aguero, Vagner Love, Higuain or Chamakh, then our beloved new chairman's first act will be to overhype and overspend.
In another, more fruitful rumour perhaps, Benny McCarthy is said to be on his way. Let's bloody hope so.
