Default Darren Bent called up for England instead of Dean Ashton?

Is that just cos Ashton plays in the Chumps league now?

Lennon is right

Bent has only been called up due to Dean Ashton already been picked to play for the Under 21's Vs. Denmark

It's only a friendly, I'm sure Sven will go back to tried and trusted strikers like Heskey for the qualifiers

owen is suspended for the wales game, not this one but sven has already said he is likely to be on the bench

bent isnt such a bad choice anyway

I've always liked alan smith, but he doesnt play regularly when others do and doesn't score nearly as many goals as he should. I think darren bent is a rash decision, but it is a friendly and giving him a chance to prove his worth may pay off.

That has never stopped Heskey so why should it Smith?

BTW Smith asked Sven to leave him out the side so he could play for our reserves cos he feels his fitness needs improving, yet again putting club before country - Legend.

smith has not done anything but work hard at international level.

i would want him in any team i managed and wouldnt mind if we bought him at chelsea....better than cole, perhaps drogba and potentially a player of mark hughes quality.
