The schools are back today, so let's start with a maths question. If it costs £24million to buy a centre-half, how much more would you have to pay for one who could track a runner and mark at the near post?
It must be what Manchester City's owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is asking himself - or more pertinently asking his manager Mark Hughes - this morning after Joleon Lescott's hapless 26 minute cameo against Slovenia. Poor Lescott was booed on to the field by England's fans when he replaced Matthew Upson, and he was probably booed off by Fabio Capello at the end of the game too.
I want him to become the player England fans can rely on. We've needed someone to wear the mantle of goalscorer for a few years now. And Jermain is the man we've all been waiting for. He has so much natural ability. He can go left, right or through the middle, has fantastic movement and awareness and he gets goals for fun. There is no one as good as him in the country. And I believe what he had to go through with Sven Goran Eriksson has actually made him a better and stronger player.
Defoe was treated terribly when he went to the last World Cup as the back-up striker and then sent home days before the finals started.His attitude then was first class and it still is to this day.He has never complained or thrown his toys out of the pram at being left out. He's always kept his head down and worked even harder. He picked up a false reputation for being awkward because he was badly advised very early in his career when he left West Ham.
But I can tell you for a fact he's a really good kid who doesn't drink, never misses a day's training and loves and studies his football like very few other players I know.People thought he was mad when he left Spurs for Portsmouth last year but he knew he was making a smart sideways step to get his career going again.I don't know what went on with Juande Ramos and could never understand why Defoe wasn't in his Spurs team.But Jermain had faith in his ability when he moved to Pompey, was in the team every week and scored loads of goals again.
Harry Redknapp knows exactly what Jermain brings to the team. That's why he was his first signing for Tottenham when he took over at White Hart Lane.
Slovenia's players were outraged at the award, with the incident untimely given that the issue of diving continues to rage after the events of the past two weeks. Rooney had insisted in the build-up that he is "an honest player" in the wake of the Arsenal forward Eduardo's two-match suspension, imposed by Uefa, for "deceiving an official", and his own tumble over Manuel Almunia's challenge in United's recent 2-1 win against the Londoners. Rooney's sentiments had been reiterated by John Terry ahead of the Slovenia game, the captain claiming English players do not dive and are actually "sometimes too honest".
The visitors did not share that assessment. "We are not happy with Rooney," said the Slovenian goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, who witnessed the incident from close quarters and led his side's protests.
"Maybe he should have been yellow-carded. It was wrong for him to appeal for a penalty. It was a foul against us and the referee did not do well. He gave it because England are a bigger national team than Slovenia. From what I saw it was a foul against us, not by us. Both players were fighting for the ball and, in the end, Rooney fell into Cesar and it was a clear foul against our man.
"Rooney is a good player, but I did not expect that of him. It was not fair play and the referee got it wrong. Cesar will not play [against Poland] on Wednesday and will be out for 15 days, and that makes us angry, too. But this was also a mistake by the referee. I am sure that the referee for the Croatia game [on Wednesday] will be of a higher level than this."
Gerrard suggested that Rooney – who offered no comment as he departed the stadium – had told him there had been contact from Cesar. "I asked him straight away and he said he'd been dragged back," said the midfielder. "Wayne seems to think his shirt was pulled."
Emile Heskey also suggested Rooney had been fouled. "The lad was pulling his shirt," said the England forward. "Sometimes they're given, sometimes they're not."
Yet the Slovenians remain unconvinced. "It is the job of the referee and his decision, but it did not look like a penalty to me," said the midfielder Necj Pecnik. "Rooney went down far too easily and because he is a big name, it made it easier for the referee to make a decision. Lots of people dive in football, that's sport, and if the referee whistles it's a penalty. Maybe he fell, but I don't know. When Rooney went down he kicked Cesar on the ankle and twisted it. We were very unlucky. Our player was injured and, somehow, England got a penalty. But if the referee whistles, then it's over."
"There has been a lot of talking about diving, about Eduardo, and I think Rooney went down a bit too easily," added the Slovenia captain and West Bromwich midfielder Robert Koren. "We were speaking about it in the dressing room and saying it was not a penalty.
