Player Valuation: £20m
The forthcoming Euro 2008 qualifier against Israel in Tel Aviv, will see Steve McLaren copying David Moyes' now infamous 4-4-1-1.
With Owen Hargreaves coming back to act like Lee Carsley and Gerrard and Lampard playing the Osman and Arteta attacking roles, McLaren will be playing Rooney in the Cahill role and AJ up front (as himself).
It has been the opinion of many football fans for a long time that Wayne Rooney is far better playing in the hole behind a striker so its a positive sign to see an England manager finally realising it.
So, is McLaren copying Moyes and will it work?
