Enormous amounts of copium in that tweet.
The national team should be made to pay the wages of any player who gets injured in a meaningless friendly, which might make them go easy on some of the over used players like Saka.
Odegaard is probably our most influential player, despite a slow start to the season and having Trossard replace him is quite a drop in quality but Gabriel or Saliba taking over as captain is fine.
I know as fans we hate international breaks but I’m pretty sure that the vast majority of players absolutely love representing their country.
He would still be injured no matter who pays his wages 
12 weeks would be a really long time for an ankle injury.
Shameless levels
What a mug
But if the national teams had some sort of penalty against them if a player got injured in a meaningless game because they were overplayed, like Southgate used to with Saka, then perhaps these injuries wouldn’t keep happening.
What penalty? And how would you possibly be able to objectively judge if a player had been overplayed?
So you think it’s ok for Southgate to play Saka for a full game in a friendly knowing that he’s played every game for us without a rest.
Yes if thats what the manager wants to do.
Agreed. I hate international breaks but we as a club can’t stop International managers picking our players if they want to. It’s out of our hands
Where did I say that?
If you’re going to sanction international teams for overplaying players you need clear criteria for doing so. I’m asking what your criteria would be.
If players can afford to miss the odd friendlies without any repercussions to their future prospects in the international teams, that might be a start.
A player who has fatigue from being overplayed or is carrying an injury which Saka was when Southgate picked him for every game.
The club pay millions in wages every season to players then international managers get to pick the best players that their club has coached and trained to get to that level.
We need more players like White who is focused on us rather than anything else.
All players play with pain and injuries. So how would you measure whether a player is too injured to play?
What would the punishment be?
That is a very selfish point of view tbh. You can’t expect players to not want to play for their country when it’s probably what they all dream of
The international team should pay the players wages while he’s injured.
It’s the clubs that pay and coach the best players just for managers like Southgate to send them back injured or even more fatigued.
Everyone knows that Saka needed a break yet Southgate made him play the whole game in meaningless friendlies.
If Southgate needs to see his best player in every game, then he really is a poor manager, which we all know he is.
No one is saying don’t have international football but just don’t have an international break every few PL games in games that hardly anyone watches.
If it was a choice between winning a PL title or playing in a friendly against Luxembourg, it’s obvious what most players would prefer.
Clubs should be allowed to reject their players playing for the NT within a limit of times, like 2-3 times each year, for whatever reasons.
