This thread might only be good for two days, but I have a been of time on my hands to spew some rhetoric. 
So the scenario is that the 1st of September rolls by and Manchester United have not signed a striker.
It's a highly possible scenario:
- Even with Pavlyuchenko, Spurs would be light in the striker department.
- They want to hold out for more money, which Gill and Ferg aren't willing to cough up.
- Huntelaar seems to be happy with his decision to stay and learn from van Basten and Bergkamp
- Benzema is too expensive
What 's the season going to be like?
Well for one, we will need a lot of good work from our midfield players and improvement from Nani and Anderson.
Without Nani and Anderson, we lack a cutting edge. Carlos Tevez has been doing a magnificent job in pre-season and against Portsmouth, but we will need him more upfield, so Nani and Anderson will play a pivotal role of getting the ball to Carlos and Wayne.
We have good distributors of the ball in Carrick and Scholes, but not many in the team are adapt at carrying the ball forward at pace, especially with the slave still being injured.
Next, we will need Louis Saha to get back to being fit and staying fit.
He is seemingly a forgotten man, but with only days left in the transfer window will probably stay at OT.
A fit Louis Saha will be a definite boost for us. When we talk about the centre forward we need, a lot of us are describing a fit version of Louis Saha and it would be great to see him firing on all cylinders again.
Another player, who might play an important part in our season if we don't sign a striker is Manucho.
The Angolan striker looked strong in the ACON and displayed good finishing skills with his right foot and head.
His physique has drawn comparisons with Emanuel Adebayor and we will be very fortunate, if Manucho can adapt to the permier league in similar fashion.
So my main protagonists for the season, if we do not sign a striker are:
Nani, Anderson, Saha and Manucho.
Even if we sign a striker Nani's and Anderson's development are going to be vital to the team, but without a new striker even more so.
Well that's my two cents anyway....
