    ========= Bent =========

    ======== Rooney ========

    Walcott ============= Lennon


    A four pronged attack with pace and skill, power in the front two.

    The movement of these players could potentially tear apart the very best of defences should they continue to progress and become the players their ability suggests they can become.

    Maybe one day...but as it goes. Lennon has no end product, Walcott has no games, Bent has about 10 minutes and Rooney likes getting sent off.

    Needs alot of work Razz

    Is this some sort of north east coalition you and Kimbo have going because N'zogbia and Downing get no credit? Wink

    Just facts Wink

    I like Lennon, and he will most likely be a great player, but so far, he's juts pace and a bit of technique.

    Naturally its far fetched, but im an optimist ! and 'potentially' we've got some very dangerous attacking players for the future, who have pace technique ability, but i agree end product is a quality especially Lennon must work on !

    Still we can hope ! should they all become top players, a style similar to Arsenal's could profit these players ?

    Who is going to score headers in that attack? Where is the physical striker, which one is a clinical finisher?

    Have you seen much of Darren Bent?

    Extremely underrated physically. Great in the air.

    Now I know why I thought it to be weird to see Bent behind Rooney, just to realise now that he actually is in front of him - it's just the other way around like I'm used to it. Doh Laughing Doh

    Sorry guys, forget about that posting.

    I think it's just that Lennon has a long loooooong way to go at the moment(MUCH further than the ZoG or Downing, but that's irrelevant), pace isn't enough... just look at Rommedahl. I see people wanting Lennon to be a starter for England NOW affraid , i would say 2-3 years minimum until he's ready to start. <Ale>

    You can't honestly compare him to Rommedahl though. Lennon beats people on the inside and outside and not just through sheer pace. Out of the 2, N'Zogbia may be the more prolific in terms of goals and assists, but he's the one that is more of the "Rommedahl". he only has one speed - break neck.

    We must also remember this post is a possible 'future' attack, not a current one.

    As i think we all know the floors in some of their current game, its all hypothetical, but it is at least a realistic idea.

    But that's not true. When Lennon has the ball the ONLY thing he can do to create something is run at the defence, the ZoG COULD run at the defence, he could shoot, he could cross, pass etc... he has far more dimensions to his game than both Lennon and Rommedahl. ok

    To be completely honest, I can't count how many times I've seen the Zog put his cross into row Z. Neither have the greatest delivery - but neither did Giggs. It's not the be all and end all if you're creating havoc, let's be honest. And Lennon does create havoc amongst defences.

    Like Henry, having that sheer pace causes problems alone, but to utilise that pace correctly is what makes a truely international class player from a simply top player.

    Remember Lennon's age, so very young, as mentioned before Giggs was accused for not having an end product, just ask the Utd fans now if they wished they hadn't perservered with him

    I think you're alone there. The boy's good, VERY good. Many fans, including myself, think he's our BEST outfield player, Duff and Owen included. ok

    I'm not saying Lennon won't become a top player, i'm sure he will(well, 50:50).

    Downing's got them both beat in that respect. Admittedly, I was wrong about him Ale

    I wish we could produce a player like Deco (a disclipined playmaker), I'd then play the Barca way and use Rooney from the left side tucking in. Walcott or Lennon on the right could give us enough width.

    However I can't think of anyone who has those capabilities (Carrick maybe able to do it eventually if he's used there for Man United, unlikely though).


    ---------------------- Bent/Ashton
    --- Rooney -------------------------- Walcott/Lennon
    ------------------------ ???????


    For two reasons. Rooney is great at cutting in from the left side and will offer more link up play than Downing and more of a goal threat than J Cole. However although he's good in the hole he's also not very disclipined (not yet anyway).

    Obviously in front of two central midfielders (Hargreaves, Reo-Coker, Gerrard, Carrick etc).
