Ten strikers vying for Wayne Rooney's England spot
Posted Sunday, November 13, 2011 by The Sun
HELL-BENT ON STARTING ... Darren Bent
DARREN BENT
Club: Aston Villa
Caps: 11 Goals: 4
Age: 27
BENT is in the box seat as England's centre-forward and was likely to start with Rooney alongside him.
But the Villa hitman knows as well as anyone that things can change between midway through a season and the start of a tournament – as he learned from his 2006 omission – and must keep up his hot streak.
Chance of replacing Rooney: 9/10
