I'd prefer him to be entirely focused on us, so not play for England now, though I'd love it if he went to the World Cup. Another good season and you never know!

If Crouch, Heskey and Cole are all unavailable for Wednesday, it'd be a surprise if 2 aren't called up.
So you'd think Beattie and Kevin Davies would have to be the 2 next pretty physical strikers in the pecking order, assuming Owen is not on Capello's list?

Darren Bent,Andy Johnson,Agbonlahor (in a rut at the moment mind,needs a rest) & Owen (how fit is he?) would presumably be ahead of Beattie?
be great though wouldnt it,a Stokie in the England squad
Davies is no goalscorer but deserves a go.

Davies is no goalscorer but deserves a go. Isn't he joint second highest english scorer this year (behind Gerrard and tied with Crouch)? I think he's scored 11 this year

Can't see Andy Johnson fitting in with this system.
And Agbonlahor seems to have caught Pericarditis which would seem to rule him out.
Bent would be another option though.
After that, it's a bit of a struggle to think of anyone.
Dave Kitson? ;D

its his best ever season though.If it was just his goals Davies wouldnt get a look in.As it his he's a good target man.
how far away is Walcott from fitness?

Post by diaofan on Mar 28, 2009 19:13:04 GMT
As a nation we have:
Rooney Heskey - seemingly injured Cole - seemingly injured Crouch - injured Walcott - injured Davies Beattie Agbonlahor - out of form Owen - returning to fitness Johnson Bent
So it could be 2/3 from Davies, Beattie, Johnson, Agbonlahor or Bent.
We've lost 3 target men, so i would go for Davies and Beattie to replace them and then one from the 3 pacier strikers.

They need to find a striker who is playing in the PL and is in form banging them in most games. Cant think where they will find such a player.

Rooney - (heard he was injured ) Heskey - injured Cole - injured Crouch - injured Walcott - injured Davies Beattie Agbonlahor - injured Owen - returning to fitness Johnson Bent surley Davies is a definate , and 2 from Beattie , Johnson + Bent to replace the others ?

If England play Davies to his strengths, he will take some dislodging from the team. As a traditional English centre forward, he is way better than the mard arse Heskey or the powderpuff Crouch.

Post by MrDBrent on Mar 28, 2009 22:21:13 GMT
yeah.. beattie wont get picked shame heskey hasent been on good form lately with villa and beattie has thought capello picks players on form

Post by Olgrligm on Mar 28, 2009 22:30:40 GMT
I'd have Davies in the squad and perhaps Beattie.
Owen may be recovering from an injury, but isn't that exactly what Ledley King has spent the last few years doing?

I cant understand why at this vital time in our season why people on here want our star playe being called up for england, playing extra games with the chance of getting injured.
Look what happened tonight with Crouch, Heskey and Cole if that would have been Beattie getting injured in a meaningless friendly i would have been furious and would have put a spanner the size of the moon in the works on our relegation fight.

I too would love to see a Stoke player play for England but i want Premier league football for now and if we stay in the Prem for a copule more years its likely that we could have at least one maybe more england players playing for us.

I personally hope Crouch's injury keeps him out for the season, as Pompeys main threat they could struggle without him and go down.
Nothing against the fella, would just like to see Pompey go down.
