da jogodeouro： Stoke striker Peter Crouch has stated that there is no reason that new signing Michael Owen cannot make it back into the England reckoning.
da winzada777： The little and large combo led the line for the Three Lions on numerous occasions in the 2000’s, and Crouch is backing the Potters’ new signing to force his way back into the international fold.
“If Michael stays fit he will score,” the lanky targetman told The Sun.
“If he’s playing regularly for Stoke and scoring in the Premier League, I don’t see why he can’t force his way into the England set-up.
“Stoke’s profile is about to be raised just by the fact Michael is here and the gaffer has made a lot of shrewd summer signings.
“The future looks bright and, if we’re scoring regularly in the Premier League for a successful team, why shouldn’t we be considered again?
“I made my England debut in that match, up front with Michael, and he scored a hat-trick. I set up a couple and we just clicked straight away.
“The fact we’re so different is definitely a strength of ours — it’s the old little and large act. Whenever I’ve played with that sort of striker — Jermain Defoe, Kevin Phillips or Michael — it’s always gone well.
“He was in on Thursday for his first day of training and I have to admit he looked very sharp for someone who has been out for so long.
“If we get a fit Michael Owen on a free, it’s some deal isn’t it?” he concluded.
