So Crouch and Defoe in the summer it is then.

 

At this rate Robbie really will be in with a chance on the plane.

[dorgie]

Roeder was just on 5live and he didn't sound too positive about it. Said Owen was quite uncomfortable after today's run out and that he felt some pain in the foot. Looks like they've brought him back too soon to prove he is fit and it could now work against him.

 

Fowler for England !

[R A Softlad]

Too Right, God and Crouchie for the World Cup.

The gamble didn't pay off either for Newcastle or Owen.

[NWR]

All we need is Gerrard to get injured, and we may as well not go to the Finals.

 

BTW Fowler could not cut it in an England shirt when he was in his prime. I dont think he is the answer

[Benzo-13]

Sven will have to change his system if they keep dropping like this. Reckon a 5 man midfield will work with Joke as the link man..

 

Then again it might all just be precautionry stuff..

That's far from accurate

Poor Michael

Which tournament are you thinking of there?

The rushing him back from injury gamble or the spending £17m and agreeing to sign for them gamble?

Owen: Signing for a crap team to preserve personal England ambitions

Barcodes: Spending a sh*tload of money on a player they know they won't have long-term

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Part of me is laughing at his career spiraling downhill after leaving us, but most of me feels sorry for him.

He never got a real chance for England cause Shearer was in possession. Don't think he "never cut it". Did well when he played and scored etc but his chances were pretty sporadic. And he's probably not the answer now.

 

Best striker I've seen in the flesh though.

Robert Bernard Fowler

 

Internationals played: 26

International goals 7

 

For a striker who hardly got a look in that's not a bad record.

only 11 starts too

 

 

crying shame really for a lad of that talent to have played for his country so few times

[R A Softlad]

Couldn't agree more mate. Still think he could be worth a shout IF Rooney and Owen are out.

[Guest Red Mist]

LOL @ Owen. He put England above everything, even the club who made him a star, and now he could end up missing the WC for his beloved England. I have no sympathy for him, and will be greatly amused if injury prevents him from going to the World Cup. After moving to that this sh*thole of a club just to safeguard his England place (like it was ever in danger), the irony of him missing the tournament he transferred for is hilarious.

[Cam]

for Misty.

 

Feck him. Still think he'll end up there, 60% fit and useless but depriving someone else of the chance. Hope it puts him back for the start of the season.

[NWR]

I am a United fan first an England fan second. If Robbie does it for England I will shout his name all over the place believe me. When it comes to England I dont care who they play for.

[Rimbeux]

What I don't want to see is a load of gambles on the plane. Cole is struggling for games, but is at least fit, Rooney is out, there is no point considering him, and if Owen is struggling now, Owen who generally needs half a dozen games, he should not be considered either. Change the system, play one up front, and dominate midfield.

[NWR]

Robbie was never as good for England as he was for Liverpool. Ok he never got a run, but there had to be a reason for that. Yes he scored a few goals, but who were they against? Lets face it, there was never a public outcry that he was not in the team like there was for Owen and Becks in 98, or public despair re Rooney this time.

 

Fowler imo was one of the greatest strikers the PL has known, but like Andrew Cole he could not carry that over to England.

 

Just my opinion

[Lee W]

Cole wasn't and isn't fit to clean Fowler's boots.

There was a reason for it, Shearer and Sherringham's partnership
