Default FM08:ManUtd: My Huntelaar/Gyan/Okaka problem...

Basically I play a 4-4-1-1 tactic at home with Rooney or Tevez play behind the target man and a 4-2-3-1 tactic in difficult away matches. Both tactics using a playmaker and target man, bringing me much success.

So in the demo i signed Huntelaar as my target man, but he has been disappointing for me.

App: 20(3)
Scored: 6
Assisted: 4
Avg. Rating: 7

Saha looks much better then Huntelaar when he comes on.

When the full game comes out, i'm stuck between 2 paths on where to go, and this where i need your advice.

1.)Don't sign any players. Use Saha as my target man and Rooney if needed, who has played a couple of times for me as a target man and done well. Then in my 2nd season buy A.Gyan, who if i'm correct should have gained italian nationality therefore not needing a work permit(wouldn't mind confirmation on this???). He would be my perfect target man. And after a few sales and left over transfer budget money, buy Okaka as my second target man. Leaving me with Rooney and Tevez(Playing behind the TM) and Gyan and Okaka(my 2 Target Men).

2.) Buy Huntelaar, but in the home tactic use him as a normal striker and in the away tactic use Saha. Then in my 2nd season buy Gyan. Leaving me with Rooney/Tevez and Gyan and Huntelaar, which gives me more variety.

Because i like using target men in both my tactics, i'm edging over towards option 1.

What would you guys(or gals ) do in my position???

I haven't had much experience with Huntelaar, but looking around the forums, a couple of users who bought huntelaar aren't too happy with him, as are you. So i don't think you'd ought to buy him again.

As for Gyan, i scouted him and he looks alright, good target man stats, so he's right for that position. So i think you're better off with option one. Although j.Watson said he will need developing.

hope i helped. =)

Bought Gyan for Barca in the demo mainly to use on the right of a 4-2-3-1 but he is a beast both upfront and on the right and is cheaper than Huntelaar and much better imo.
