Got a hat trick today and has been playing well.

You guys reckon he'll be part of the squad?

For me Mick we got to take him , he is a big impact player of the bench ( for England ), and as he proved for Man U last night he can still score goals.
Someone like Emile Heskey isnt a good enough finisher , and thats what strikers are supposed to do .

For England, Gerrard and Rooney seem to have an amazing understanding. Stick Owen in the mix and you have one hell of a dynamic.

Besides, Owen is still up there with Defoe as one of England's most prolific poachers.

Deffo mins/goals ratio was put up on tv today and here was the order of all the English strikers:

Defoe
Owen
Bent
Rooney
Cole
Crouch
Heskey

Its either 4 or 5 from them

Mine would be

Rooney
Defoe
Owen
Cole

If we take a fifth id take Crouch over Heskey cos he can actully score goals, Heskey is the worst by some margain like one goal in every 4.8 games he plays. Bents on fire but I feel its either him or Defoe and Defoe for me.

If he`s fit and on form then you`d be a mug not to take him.

But lets be honest now, give it another month or two and you know he`s gonna be crocked again. Ive always been a fan of owen, natural goalscorer with brilliant pace and an eye for goal. But could you seriously take the risk on him as one of your 4 strikers knowing he could break down any minute?

If i was the FA id be taking 5strikers if owen is fit with rooney, defoe, crouch and cole as your other 4
