Absolutely, we need more strikers with a record of 7 in 62 games and picking him probably has something to do with why 3 of his 4 international managers are no longer in charge and the 4th is clinging on by his fingernails and as for all this guff about 'Rooney likes playing with him' they didn't even pass to each other in one of the group games until the 39 minute!
