Although as I said earlier in the thread, up to Crouch getting a brace at the weekend, he was the highest scoring English striker in the PL.

Capello has already ruled out Michael Owen or Kevin Davies joining the squad.
"Owen played 20 minutes in his last game, it is not enough, and it would not be Kevin Davies either," said Capello.

Oh dear.

Yeah, heard about this statement whilst I was in the pub earlier today. He's a better judge than I am so thats it (even though he offered no rational explanation).

i think capello leaving out owen is right imo

he wont want to pi$$ off the newcastle fans

If and when he is fit though i think Owen should be in the england team even just on the bench like Beckham

Michael Owen, Peter Crouch, Emile Heskey....the choices are endless for England in terms of world class forwards.

40 goals in 89 games id say he was pretty good to be fair

I have wanted him back since he left even with all the injuries hes had and not playing as much at real madrid hes still knocked in a lot of goals

Plus he hasnt signed a new contract yet has he

Free transfer sounds good to me
