First. Forget the selfish shit about not wanting him to be called up. He's done enough for us, that he should have our full support should he get the call.

Second, is he good enough? Well. Tuchel, will presumably play with one striker. That means 2 or 3 of them in a 23 man squad. Let's say 3.

So then, you have to look at the competition. Kane and Watkins are both playing and are undisputed first and second for the 9 jersey. So can Danny sneak in to get a third striker spot? I think unlikely. We're still over a year from the world cup, Delap is surely the coming man and is more than a decade younger. I'm not sure Toney has completely given up on playing international football, (but I guess going to Saudi is the same thing).

I think Danny only has a chance if one or two of those ahead of him are injured. Even then, Tuchel might fairly say that he's too old and wants to find a younger player to bring through

No. No call ups please. Need to keep the squad as rested and refreshed as we can. The fewer call-ups we get the buffet the advantage we have over others fighting for a European place.

Years ago I looked into Alan Shearers career in some depth. Alright it was only Wiki but I noticed that for years he never played a full season, having quite long breaks for injury, until he gave up on England. He then went on to play full seasons for about 3 or 4 years. I am sure that is one reason he gave up the England gig.

Not sure what Tuchel will do but Danny Welbeck has been better than Watkins this season. Sure, Ollie has produced a bit more numbers through his performances when stomping some of the less good teams in the league, but Danny has been instrumental when it matters. With Solanke injured, Welbeck should definitely be in.
