Here (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/oct/13/darren-bent-wayne-rooney-england).
Nice couple of paragraphs at the end with Bent saying how much he gets on with RL as well.
-
And if Gabby keeps going the way he's started this season, I should think there's every chance of us seeing him paired with Bent for England.
-
Agbonlahor is a good shout if he keeps up current form
-
Gabby usually starts the season well.
-
Rooney and Bent are chalk & cheese.
-
Bent looks a bit chubby in that pic
-
I like how Gabby has been completely ignored as a replacement for Rooney, with players like Zamora and Sturridge being mentioned. Long may it continue.

Didnt he have an injury last game thou ..

Bent is probably best placed right now to capitalise from Rooney being gone and is there any other English striker in better form than Gabby?
But you watch - if he bangs in a couple the press campaign for Carroll will begin and I'm not convinced Capello is a strong enough manager not to cave in to it!
-
Can we stop bigging up our players please otherwise we'll lose them
Nice to see about Randy and DB obviously a lot goes on unnoticed or reported that we don't know about
-
Bent's already in the team with Rooney, as others have said Gabby should be targetting Shrek's place.

He was, but that was with Gerrard out of the picture. As he comes back, I expected to see him play in that advanced midfield role with Rooney then playing firther forward, so Bent would likely be the man to miss out.
-
I think Bent will start at the Euros next summer I just hope we can keep hold of him when he returns.
-
Yes of course Bent can replace Rooney in the same way as Heskey can play in our midfield.
FFS..........
Different players both need to play together to make it a potent strike force.
-
Darren will hurt Randy's feelings when he eventually asks to leave.
-
I haven't missed gerrard in midfield at all while he has been injured. I think we should continue to build the team on the younger set up. Maybe use Gerrard as more of a holding midfielder. I'm worried if we bring him back into the fold with lampard we will stifle the midfield again. They should work together but they don't.
I don't think we should use Gerrard in the Rooney position, he should now play a bit further back and let the younger players do all the running. Gabby is a great shout in his current form
Players like Carroll are the target men and wouldn't do the job Rooney does sitting behind the striker. The trouble is, no one is as good at that role as Rooney is.
-
Gabby's the man to replace Rooney if his form continues.

Not positionally he isn't.
I still think it'll be Gerrard, but Capello might try Young in the central role he played for us last season.
-
God help us if Bent and Gabby get called upon and are successful as we'll be relying on Delfoneso and Wiemann as our front 2.
-
I think Bent is first choice striker for England at the moment.
Rooney has been playing just behind Bent and I think the only person capable of filling that role is Steven Gerrard.

Sorry, I meant by the media.

. . . at Old Trafford.

Left-field shout, but Joe Cole might be the man to replace Rooney. He's looking revitalised at Lille, and that interview in the Grauniad the other day showed a real maturity which has perhaps been lacking before.
