Would you take Owen to the World Cup?

Rooney and Defoe together would be the best combination they could cause a lot of problems to defences. But now, apparently we need Crouch or Heskey up there to launch the ball up to.

Oh and I'd take Owen, he would be a great option off the bench for England.

+1

I dont get it either Emile "WorkHorse" Heskey and Peter "LadderMan" Crouch are both £#%&!ing garbage

Crouch's international record, particularly against shite, is very good.

Heskey, everyone who plays with him, seems to rate him.

I know this doesn't tally with forum wisdom, but Heskey with his right head on scares the shit out of the average jonny foreigner.

Does he though?

I think defenders would be more scared of Rooney and Defoe together tbh.

England will not win the World Cup with someone like Crouch playing games.

Green
James
Robinson

Johnson
Brown
Cole
Bridge
Rio
Terry
Upson
Lescott

Beckham
Gerrard
Lampard
Cole
Wright Phillips
Lennon/Walcott
Carrick

Rooney
Defoe
Crouch
Heskey
Cole/Owen/Bent

will be the squad (injuries permitting).

Agreed - Heskey is a perfectly decent player and as it's a team game - he fits into the team rather well.

I'm with Koppas. Rooney Heskey first choice. Defoe, Crouch and Owen to support.

I wouldn't actually start with him - I would go Rooney - Defoe.

and given the lack of actual top drawer strikers I would take either Crouch or Heskey, with Bent and Owen.

I was just saying Heskey doesn't deserve the stick he gets, fwiw I think he underachieves / has underacheived, but when he is up for it, he is a £#%&!ing handfull.

I'd take 5 strikers & take them all.

Rooney
Defoe
Heskey
Crouch
Owen

£#%&! Carlton Cole.

If only 4 strikers, I'd rather have Defoe than Owen.

Word. Done absolutely nothing to justify a place on the international scene except score a couple of goals. He's £#%&!ing shite.

Oh £#%&!. He got left behind.

Capello goes back for him and tells Carrick to get off the coach/plane.

Bridge is so massively good, Capello is taking him twice.

I've had a holocaust here tbh.

i'd rather take welbeck

no

his role could be far better fulfilled by defoe

I woyuldn't play rooney and defoe as a starting pairing, not a good pairing for me, despite them being good players. England need to get the best out of Rooney and Heskey will do that.

neither would I, but if i wanted to change it around or if rooney was injured i'd bring in defoe over owen in a breath

rooney
heskey (cole if heskey is not fit)
defoe
crouch
