Hes not the best we can do though is he, otherwise we wouldnt be complaining at the call up.

Something tells me McLaren is looking to get sacked by making this move, he must know its not going to be a popular decision.

5 goals in 43 appearances I think Mullery said, Mullers is going mad over Emil in the squad.

Emile Heskey is total pants! What is going on?
He's such a big lad but falls over at the slightest touch.
What was the joke:
Somebody was watching an England match and got up to go to the toilet.
As they walked past the telly they bumped into it with their hip...........................................and Emile Heskey fell over.

2000–01 season Heskey scored 23 goals for Liverpool

Look - McLaren turned round Boro from being a **** team to being a **** team still in the premier league.

He'll turn round Engerland.

And least they wont be overpaid useless tossers - just useless tossers.

McLaren's lost the plot - he'll be getting Glen Hoddle in as his deputy next

Barnes or Gareth Barry? I'd take Barnes.

And as for Heskey, I think he played 14 internationals alongside Owen and Owen scored 12 times. Not all bad.

Heskey is still s***e.
He's played ok in two matches. One against the mighty Israel and the other against a slightly better Russia.
He plays alongside Owen as a "Striker". He's "struck" the ball a few times (normally missing the target) and has played the way he always has; lots of effort and nobody can fault him for that.
He's still crap but his determination and that of others given a chance has brought two good results against two mediocre teams.
Bring on some more challenging opposition and then see how good he is/we are.
Let's not get carried away yet.

I've seen trees play better football than Heskey.

The problem we now have is dicks on the BBC are talking about Heskey keeping Rooney out of the team.

And McLaren will probably think the same .

Still - 2 wins will do for now

times newspaper rated heskey to be a better player than rooney. so pecking order is owen, heskey, crouch then rooney. seems fair to me.

I always thought Heskey was a wise choice

I hate him, and still think he is crap, but - as a foil for Owen? Well he does that well ....

Rooney is too ball greedy...thinks he is the be all and end all i think heskey complimenting owen is the best thing thats happened to England in a good few years.There are so many working partnerships in the side now it would be daft to change things now eg heskey-owen,gerrard-barry,the two coles,richards and wright-phillips i think McLaren has stumbled across probably the best team we have to offer in terms of working partnerships

Long may it continue,lets hope he doesnt pick players on the size of their name
