Fergie signs unkown £7.4m striker

Mesut Ozil: Look at what you could've won
In what must surely be some sort of effort to outdo Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in the obscure-signing stakes, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson pulled off a bona fide shock this week when he signed a homeless striker from the Portuguese lower leagues for £7.4 million.
Okay, so Bebe - full name Tiago Manuel Dias Correia - is no longer without a roof over his head but he was raised in an orphanage after spending part of his childhood on the streets and represented Portugal in the homeless World Cup.
Even more shocking is the news that just five weeks ago, before he signed for Portuguese Liga outfit Vitoria in early July, he was available on a free transfer after third division side Estrela Amadora failed to pay his wages.
£7.4 million! That would be enough to sign Germany World Cup star Mezut Ozil from Werder Bremen, but it seems Fergie has been reading too much Oliver Twist.
