If anybody has actually seen the context in which LVG used the term 'surprise' you'll know this is all nothing more than media sensationalism. A nothing comment leads to a complete non-story.
Our mystery striker is playing against Inter right now Skysports have the team as Barcelona instead of Bayern
I have absolutely no idea who that is so it will definitely be a surprise to me. Does he play out wide?
Huntelaar? Lukaku? Soldado? (Please god no) Aubameyang? Ibra? Pelle from Southampton? Walcott? Berbatov on a free? Heskey?
I bet whoever it is we've been linked to him. But bcos of Van Gaal's complete disregard for our press I think this bluff is a particular 2 fingered fck you to them. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if he was having a chuckle to himself watching as they get worked up over it.
