Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season

I can guarantee Harewood will be fine if he's called up. He has the ability and he really won't care about the shirt he's wearing - in the detrimental sense.

The fact he seamlessly transferred from us to w ham, as well as from the CCC to PL, indicates that the step to international should be no problem - provided he has the ability. And I think (and it's nowt to do with the Forest connection) that worse strikers have been capped. Bent for example.

If there is any doubt whether Rooney or Owen will make it, they should go. A half-fit Wayne Rooney could still be worth having and is better than a fully fit Bent. As for Crouch I like him, he offers something different and should probably start.

Other than that, the only real option is Defoe and Vassell who are too similar (so only one should go) and neither are playing well.

PL top scorers:
Thierry Henry Arsenal 24
Ruud van Nistelrooy Man Utd 21
Darren Bent Charlton 18 - did nothing on his debut to suggest he's any good
Robbie Keane Tottenham 16
Frank Lampard Chelsea 16 - going anyway
Wayne Rooney Man Utd 16 - will go if fit
Marlon Harewood West Ham 14 - nuff said.
Craig Bellamy Blackburn 13
Aiyegbeni Yakubu Middlesbrough 13
Henri Camara Wigan 12
Didier Drogba Chelsea 12
Collins John Fulham 11
Ahmed Mido Tottenham 11
James Beattie Everton 10 - too low a tally to be considered.
Hernan Crespo Chelsea 10

Where are Defoe, Vassell, Crouch... well, Crouch does more than score and the aerial threat posed by his size is a problem anyway.
Who else is there that could possibly go?
