little strikers
wellbeck
campbell
sturridge
rooney
bent
agbonlahor
defoe
hooper

big strikers
crouch
carroll
zamora
davies
holt

out of that lot, who knows? apart from rooney there's a case for and against any of them

Rooney
Carroll
Wellbeck
Sturridge

Gives us different options. Sturridge can run with the ball at speed. Carroll on his day is a great targetman and threat from set pieces. Rooney likes to drop deep. And Wellbeck has played well this season.


I'd go with those four as well. Why take people like Bent and Defoe who've had chances and aren't good enough? At least Carrol, Welbeck and Sturridge have time to improve.

Did anybody hear him on Sunday at the end of the Man City game - "What an amazing product we have to sell". What a sharp object.

Rooney.
Carroll.

If we take Carroll, Sturridge, Crouch and Rooney, the manager may have trouble naming his forward line.

Please don't take Carroll, what a big streak of useless urine he is, he looks half decent for 2-3 games and everyone starts frothing at the gash about him.

I don't know why so many think Carroll will get picked. Up until only very recently, he has had a shocking season!! Holt/Crouch definitely deserve a place instead of him along with Welbeck and Rooney IMO

He'd be the first striker I'd pick after Rooney. Of course he's worth nothing like £35 million but he's in form, is decent technically and will give other teams problems. We're nowhere near good enough to pass it through teams so I'd play proper wide men like Adam Johnson, Ashley Young, Stewart Downing, get it wide and get in the box quickly. We'll cause better teams than us more problems doing that than we will trying to play through them.

Not much of a choice is it ?

Rooney will not play in the 1st 2 games,

SO  Hooper will be our best bet to score the goals until Rooney can play.

Holt is a better player than Crouch or Carroll,

Hearn is a better player than the rest.
