The money argument doesn't work for me.

No it does't work for me either TM. mind you if the players have the same attitude to the fans then thats your answer. Ask any fan in th country, if they would sooner see their own club win the league or a cup (and I'm not just talkng about prem fans here) or England win a major trophy, the bigest majority would opt for their own club, maybe the players are more interested in club than country too

That's a good point jaysay. There is so much emphasis placed on club football that the international standards are bound to suffer.
