The question is will Tyrone Mears be in the England Squad

Most Strikers go for Goal.

Heskey goes for the Team

I think it's too soon to decide if we should take him. I want to see how he plays for the next 5-6 months and then decide. But without a doubt a fit/focussed Michale Owen is about as good a goal threat as you could hope for.

My opinion on Heskey is that he is a worse finisher than Douglas Bada and not a particularly good footballer at all, BUT.......he does perform a valuable role for the team and whomever he plays with seems to play better when he is next to them. My concern is that against teams like Brazil and Spain we will get very few chances and chances are that one of these will land to Heskey and I have no confidence in him putting the chances away.

At the moment I'd take

Rooney - No need to explain
Defoe - No need to explain
Crouch - Provides a different option, can't argue with his scoring record,even if it is against weaker teams - not his fault that he has only played/started against weaker teams

Then I'd say either Bent, Cole or Heskey (2 of these 3 if Owen doesn't go)

and Owen (if he proves himself)

PS - If we are looking for somebody to perform that unselfish forward role a la Heskey, I don't think there is anybody better than Kevin Davies that position - but he aint a fashionable choice

Robbie Blake would be better

i have a feeling we could see walcott playing with rooney up front if he stays injury free, Wenger has said he is going to start playing him there.

Walcott is shite, he shouldnt even be going he plays well about 10 % of the time and is always injured, I remember fat man Matt Le Tissier say on soccer saturday when he first burst onto the scene this lad will have a better career than Giggs

.

SWP Lennon both go before Walcott imo.
