Kozak or Bent?

[LeeB]

Oh I agree, Bent better than Heskey, but it still wouldn't have been enough I think - the systemic problems were overwhelming.

Most people would agree that Bent is better than Heskey, yet Heskey's got 5 times as many caps and has won five major trophies, to Bent's zero.

I'm just saying, like.

Means nothing- Carlton Palmer had more caps than Gordon cowans but I know which was the better player by miles

Yeah, but they weren't competing for the same spot. Sid was competing with a number of quality players, whereas Palmer was playing in a period of transition.

Bent and Heskey's careers overlapped, and Heskey's got picked whist Darren didn't.

The funny thing about Heskey is that he got picked precisely because he played well with the poacher striker type, ie the Darren Bent type - and that type of player has been outmoded at the highest level for most of Bent's career and for the whole of the second half of Heskey's.
