I agree Fowler is not what he was, but he is 10 times more dangerous as a finisher than Crouch could ever dream of being. If we assume Owen and Rooney are not in the team on any given game, the thought that Crouch and Walcott is the strike force, that is scary. Fowler brings experience and finishing.
The fact that I would consider Sheringham shows how lightweight the strikers are in this squad after Rooney and Owen.
The midfield that we have is always going to create chances for strikers. Unless we use Joe Cole as a striker or even Gerard, we could have trouble scoring.
Worst case scenario is Owen isn't fit enough in the group stages, Rooney doesn't make it and we don't even qualify out of the group.!!
