Hopefully some of them may be able to channel the vibes of acute Ryan Giggs Munchausen syndrome at the start of the tournaments, and return home for a vigorous regime of recuperative, er, recuperation by way of first team action.
It used to really piss me off when Premier League managers held back Gerrard / Rooney etc. from England games claiming they weren't 100%.
There are many topics about arrogant premier league clubs you can find hypocritical posts on here from the Withdean days I’d imagine…
But who actually pays his wages?
Japan pay him a wage when he is with them.
So will I...
We pay his wages. Not Japan.
No they don’t. Clubs get paid a fee from FIFA.
Oh come on now, you know that is simply unacceptable
Yes they do. FIFA compensate if a player is injured during an international break
Correct, players will be paid an appearance fee by their national FA for international games. England players donate that fee to charity, I believe a lot of the players of bigger nations also do this.
But that isn't the same as paying their wages.
I bet we have earnt more than that on the back of our players appearing and one wining the World Cup, our exposure sky rocketed.
