They are not your players, they are loaned from the club. You just wheel them out for a game for England.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nowadays there are too many players who can't get a contract elsewhere, who come to England and just take the money.
At the moment there are some England players who are the stars of their club teams, but not for their country. It's difficult to explain.
My record shows that I'm not the kind of player who wants to change clubs every season, and I would have no problem playing in England for many more years.
Some players are criticised for having no loyalty. Well, I wanted to go back home and play for the club I supported. I don't think that's a crime.
English football has just had a transfer window imposed for the first time, so it will be interesting to see how managers cope with the squads they have until it re-opens.
No matter how much money you have or what kind of cocoon you live in, the reality is that you have lost a game of football and let England's fans down. We are bothered.
You can't let players do what they wish and be professional. That's a fact. As for the team, Boro had two internationals when I got there in 1995. Now they have more than 15. And they didn't cost the fortune some suggest.
I don't want to spend money the club doesn't have; I don't want to hold a player that doesn't want to stay.
At Leeds I've tried to concentrate on my club form, but you get caught up in all the World Cup fever once you come back to Ireland and see all the Irish boys again.
In club football you have your players and staff with you all the time, preparing for two games a week, you know them inside out, you have a discipline over them.
