All hail Rooney! I first must say that Heskey has done a great job for England recently and I would still take him to the World Cup but such is Rooney’s emergence as a striker who can lead the line, we can now drop ‘Bruno’ in favour of a more skillful and creative, preferably Joe Cole.
Rooney can move to the tip of the strike force with Gerrard in his former positi0n and Joe Cole obviously reverting to the left wing. This isn’t a situation we need to rush into, Rooney has been in superlative goal scoring form with Heskey as his strike partner and England’s form has been great too so we don’t need to meddle too much.
Against top quality opposition however, Rooney can give the team all Heskey can and more. He can hold it up, chase defenders , bring others into play, and SCORE. With Gerrard and Cole behind him dovetailed by Lampard and Lennon, England pose quite a formidible, varied and experienced attacking quintet.
I am sure Capello has no plans to play Heskey after the World Cup, it may just be worth playing him now for the sake of consistency but our future now seems a little more secure with the emergence of King Wayne and his new found ability to lead the line.
