No they don't count.
If we're paying the best part of £20m on transfer fee and wages on a 30 year old I would want to be fairly confident he could do a job for us, what he does for his country is irrelevant.
Specifically we want players that will get us to top 4/6 positions in the league, and in the league he has scored only a goal every 279 minutes for his current club.
