Actually, you can't limit the poll to five. Just pick who you would take, but I think any more than five would be unrealistic.

Zamora with 19 for an average side like Fulham has to be in with a squeak surely ?.

Even with bias I think Zamora has a strong case. He's scored a lot of goals but also seems to offer a lot more than a player like Bent who is more of a goalscorer. Some of Zamora's hold up play and assists look pretty good to me!

Rooney - best English player I have seen in 30 years.

Defoe - pace & good finisher

Crouch - great goals per game ratio for England

Zamora - the man in form

Cole- er? he doesn't fall over as often as Heskey

I think anyone not selecting Heskey is clueless ... his partnership with Rooney's the reason (along with playing a proper winger in Lennon/Walcott) we qualified with such ease. He will be on the plane, on doubt.

on his last three perfomances in europe Zamora has ticked any remaining boxes Capello needed filling, his hold up play was outstanding again tonight and his turn for the goal was sublime,he at the very least should get a game in the remaining friendlies ,and i disagree that Heskey should go to SA based purley on his goals to games ratio which is not enough, Zamora has done the same job all season long as Heskey and has scored 3 times as many Goals Whilst doing it.

I've got no idea how anyone can pick Heskey over Zamora.

Who would you take and who Fabio will take are 2 very different questions. I'd obviously take Zamora. Fabio will not.
