So what exactly does Mark Hughes plan to do with all these strikers? They don't even have any European games to give them a run out. The list as it stands:

Jo
Bellamy
Caicedo
Vassell
Bojinov
Benjani
Santa Cruz
Ched Evans
Sturridge
Robinho

What a list! Considering Hughes likes to play with a lone striker, that's a nine-man depth chart. Carlos Tevez looks likely to be the latest addition. Nobody else is stupid enough to pay £25m and £120 grand per week for him. Even Real Madrid don't want him. It's nice to see Tevez reject a move to Liverpool out of respect for Man United, and then start negotiating with City instead. Top marks to the man. Come August, I'm holding out for a starting lineup of:

           Santa Cruz Benjani
Robinho Bellamy Tevez Wright-Phillips
       Barry De Jong
       Kompany Richards
                      Given

I can hardly wait! In the meantime, here to keep you amused is a list of Pele's 10 worst predictions:

Presumably he will play big man, little man at home and big man with 5 in midfield away.

First choice big man is Santa Cruz. Hughes clearly doesn't like Jo so he'll be sold. Then they'll probably try to sell benjani, caicedo and evans but plan to keep whichever one doesn't get a good offer.

First choice little man will be tevez and then they will probably keep bellamy and bojinov as reserves who can also play on the wing. Sell Vassell presumably.

He plays robinho as a winger.
Sturridge is leaving isn't he?

I think that covers the list.
