Already scored for WBA this pre-season and would increase our attacking threat in set pieces hugely. Get some Brady corners and FKs onto that lad.

We'll get £19m in for Keane after United take their cut and before the reported 5m in potential add ons. I can't see us spending that much on a single player, we'll be strengthening the squad not looking for headline names.
