We get O'Neill. He negotiates that Bobo Balde and Alan Thompson follow him, in exchange for Biscan and Traore + cash.
Cisse arrives. Owen and Heskey stay, and O'Neill spends the summer teaching Emil where the goal is. Nothing at all wrong with having Baros and Owen battling it out for one place, while Cisse and Heskey battle for the other.
Catching everyone unawares, he then signs Okocha (potentially very good value a la McAllister), meaning that we then have at least two midfielders that don't mind doing some work.
Pongolle will inevitably turn out to be the imaginative forward-inclined player on the right that GH thinks Diouf is (he'll probably go in the January window), while competition from TLT brings Murphy's form back up to scratch. As some point during all this, someone explains to Kewell that being a Liverpool fan requires you to give a s##t when you've lost the ball.
Or maybe GH will stay, he'll sign some more jokers from the continent and he'll spend the season trying to prove that Diao and Cheyrou were shrewd signings after all.
