If the post season warm up tours were anything to go by, Sir's decision to sign Lil Mickey Owen has every sign of being a master stroke.
Lil Mickey looks everyone bit like the striker that we've been missing since RVNs departure. In fact, he looks and plays more like Ole in his heydays and is exactly what we've been missing for the last few years.... a natural goalscorer. Someone who puts it away with minimum fuss.
Berba, Rooney and Tevez have displayed time and again that they like the deeper roles and almost always needs that extra touch in front of goal. Lil Mickey on the other hand likes to lead the line and doesn't need that extra touch. He's more than happy to stick his feet out to poke it home. And more importantly, he always seems to know when and where to to that.
Hopefully, his form will carry on and he'll stay injury free and Sir will be hailed as a genius again!
