Manchester United express an interest in Diafra Sakho

Dwight Yorke and Sheringham too

Yorke was the one that taught me to shut my mouth. I was fully expecting to get Kluivert or, better yet, Gabi Batistuta that summer. When we ended up with Yorke and at that price, which was big back in those days, I was very sceptical. 29 goals and 23 assists later I was happily eating humble pie.
 
I'll bet that half the people saying that they don't want this guy have hardly seen him play.
 
Probably the only person that doesn't mind this if it's true.

We're not going to sign a Kane/Benzema and I don't even think any striker we sign would be even able to compete with Rooney but rather fill in for him when he's injured due to the whole captaincy status.

Bar the skunk haircut, he'd be a decent squad addition. Sort of what Remy is for Chelsea.

Sorta this. Rooney will be first choice.

Same here. I felt it was an underwhelming signing when it was announced but he really surprised me.
 
I see that West Ham are reportedly in talks with Roma striker Destro - could this mean that they know that Sakho is on his way out of the Boleyn? Hmmm.....
 
Will be so shocked if he comes, but looking at our squad for the tour; a PL proven 10+ goals a season striker behind Rooney, could fit in nicely, with Wilson staying. That's a good 3 strikers for rotation, with Wilson not expecting too many minutes. I don't think we can truly afford to splash if we're going to spend on Otamendi, which I think is nailed on. It has some logic to it, but very little.
