I note that Maya rips his shirt off at all opportunities....must be trying to take the 'most sexy man' spot vacated by Fonte.
I sometimes skim read and I keep saying Mauricio Pochettino before something in my head says hold on that's not right! Pellegrino Pellegrino Pellegrino...... I should have it by Christmas.
As Jeremy said, Austria next. I'd be interested to see how he does when fit....had bad luck getting injured so early.
http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/15394430.Pellegrino_leads_Saints_abroad/ Saints off to Austria which will give Mauricio a full week to work and bond with players. Will be nice if a Saints manager could have a preseason tour that he arranged rather than one devised by his predecessor. No mention of a major preseason game at SMS...surely there will be one.
Saints are heading abroad today for their first trip of the summer, with a visit to France also to follow later in the month. The camp will be Pellegrino’s first as the club’s manager, and will conclude with a friendly match against St Gallen, in Switzerland, on Saturday. A number of the club’s young players will also make the trip, as they complement the senior members of the squad who have already returned for pre-season. Cédric, James Ward-Prowse, Nathan Redmond, Jack Stephens, Matt Targett and new signing Jan Bednarek will not be part of the camp, as they are due to return later this month, because of their international involvement this summer. The full squad heading to Austria is: • Charlie Austin • Ryan Bertrand • Sofiane Boufal • Jordy Clasie • Ollie Cook • Steven Davis • Jake Flannigan • Fraser Forster • Manolo Gabbiadini • Sam Gallagher • Florin Gardos • Pierre-Emile Højbjerg • Tyreke Johnson • Alfie Jones • Harry Lewis • Armani Little • Shane Long • Alex McCarthy • Sam McQueen • Aaron O’Driscoll • Jérémy Pied • Oriol Romeu • Callum Slattery • Dušan Tadić • Stuart Taylor • Nathan Tella • Virgil van Dijk • Maya Yoshida
