In defence of Heskey I think he's a physical player who shows flashes of brilliance on occassion; defenders get panicky when forwards run at them and Hesky's sheer size intimidates them. That said, he's inconsistent I have no idea why O'Neill chose him for the Villa and his finishing in the game the other night was woeful.

What about Ashley Young? I think he could play as a striker as well as a winger, and his pace up front would be an asset.
