    The lads are off on a two week break to the US of A after the Southampton match.
    Hope they all get their visa's sorted out as we can I'll afford for Mr Trump to detain any of the squad as he attempts to make a lot of people unwelcome to his country.
    Hope this bonding session works and they all come back raring to go as it'll be a toughie at Goodison Park.

    Moyes in most danger of not being let in as the Scots would not give Trump full planning permission to build the course he wanted and he pulled the plug half way through.

    Oh well that's half of our team potentially ****ed and probably going to be made to feel uncomfortable.

    Januzaj, Kone, Khazri, Djilobodji. Have I missed anybody?

    I find it quite fascinating. My hypothesis is that it's combed forwards from near the back, then folded onto itself low down on his forehead, combed back and hair sprayed into place. God knows what kind of hairline he'd have if someone shaved his head.

    We don't have any players from the banned countries do we?

    Think all is ok with this.

    I'm going to put two and two together and wait for the answer. This trip coming just after the documentary on the recent happenings at the club and all the wotsit that went with it might mean there is more to this trip than a four day team bonding session in New York.

    Has ES got something, or someone, he wants to make open to the players? On the other hand maybes Dubai did not want us.

    Seven countries in total. Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia. None of our players are from there, so what's the worry?

    Even then the high court or whoever it is in that country have over ruled him.

    I think 83 was suggesting that your Muslim contingent will feel unwelcome, regardless of their nationality.

    Obama's administration had put that in place, Trump just signed it off. It looks like this was Obama's parting shot to me.

    Millions others didn't want it.

    I'm pretty sure a higher ratio would rather half the players didn't turn up to the stadium of light every other weekend.

    No ****er knows or cares what their religion is over there.

    A Muslim lad just played in the Superbowl and he was just fine.

    Unless they go down to the bible belt, carrying the quran and burning bibles I reckon they'll be fine.

    They'll be staying in beautiful accommodation well away from any bother. I just don't see it as that big a deal.

    UKIP and the BNP have been trying to do similar over here. Players play in a warzone over in the Ukraine/Russia. They take the money and just do it.

    I really don't know what all the fuss is about.
    All Trump is doing is fulfilling his election pledges.
    He told everyone what he would do, they democratically voted him in & he's wasting no time in getting on with it.
    Very refreshing to see imo.
    It's their country, let them get on with it.
    WTF has it got to do with any **** else?
