Emile Heskey back in

Heskey back in the England squad and due to get a start in the next game... what is going on?.. if we have to rely on a player that was useless for England in the past?..what has changed? has Heskey suddenly become a good player?

Heskey is a joke, Mclaren is a joke and for sometime now England have been a joke.

Heskey played OK..not brilliant, but then the whole team played OK.
I'm not convinced that all of a sudden we need Heskey..hate to say it but Crouch can do the same job and score goals, Heskey 44 caps 5 goals, for a center forward that is shamefull!

least not short of a donkey on the team is there

To be fair though he gets goals out of Owen. On more than one occasion in the Russia game, Russia's centre halves were busy trying to deal with Heskey while leaving Owen completely unmarked, ready to receive a flick on from Heskey.
Crouch does get more goals than Heskey, it's clear to see, but Crouch to me isn't as good a partner for any of our strikers nor is he brilliant in the air.
