He's a good Plan B, yeah. Maybe for the knockout stages. I'd like to think we can at least qualify from our group without Rooney. We managed it in the last World Cup, after all.

Maybe we could play Lampard up front with Owen. To me, he's always seemed like more of a striker than a midfielder anyway, as he never really gets involved in midfield battles, and always seems to pop up in the right place at the right time to score a deflection.
