But I'm resigned to him going to Germany -- as long as it keeps Owen Hargreaves out of the squad. As for pace up front, Rooney and Owen have plenty of speed, and so does Jermain Defoe if he gets the 4th strikers' spot. The piece I think they're missing is a big strong forward like Alan Shearer was in his prime, but I can't think of anyone who fits the bill right now.

I just get worried about the lack of pace up front. So anyone with young, fast legs looks promising to me. Roger that.

If we played 4-3-2-1 then Jenas would be one of the 3 (for Chelsea he'd be Lampard or Essien, but not Makelele) I know he's been playing wide right for Spurs, but he doesn't play wide right in the style of a winger. He's really only out there because Spurs have hundreds of central midfielders. Jenas isn’t a Duff/Robben/SWP style player.

I'm thinking more of a distributor behind a point man -- sort of the way Chelsea use Duff and/or Robben when only Drogba is playing a proper forward position. Think a 4-3-2-1 and you'll see what I mean. No (despite my earlier confession that I don’t watch Spurs much).

Jenas has never, ever played up front. He's a centre or right mid. Have you confused Jermaine Jenas with Jermaine Defoe? Jenas has never, ever played up front. He’s a centre or right mid.
