Although Cisse is probably the best out and out striker we have, Perez should start the season as #1 striker for me. Then again, he probably works better as a number 10 behind the main man. Either way, he should be a definite starter.
If I was McClaren, I would be building the team around the likes of Abeid, Aarons and Perez. Even the likes of Haidara and Lascelles too.
Then again, pointless building anything I suppose. If they do well they will be shifted in a seasons time. So depressing.
