We’ve added a friendly against Barca in Spain to the schedule which is two days after the Shakhtar friendly and five days before we start the season against Brentford… something tells me this is not a smart idea.
Both the Argies seem a little odd don’t they. Lamela was nuts on the pitch but also a bit more normal.
Body language "experts" will of course jump on the few seconds of Harry Kane, yet ignore Rodon looking like he's just been told he'll be training with the U21s
Hojbjerg and Dier shouldn't be on the pitch in the first place so they're not relevant to the conversation. Bentancur is the only name that comes to mind, which is a bit worrying.
There was an article a year or so ago, I think by Dan KP too, that said Lo Celso wasn't really liked at the club, can't remember if it said by whom but I personally can't warm to the guy either, though that's largely because he's complete toilet.
please log in to view this image Weirdly, I actually know a couple of their players: Bailey Wright played for Preston, Bristol City and Sunderland plus has 29 Australia caps, while Richairo Zivkovic...well this is bound to bite us on the backside, I included him in the Vulture Watch for relegated clubs after Emmen dropped out the Eredivisie
Squad flies out to Aus today. Bet Ange is looking forward to seeing his new CB(s) in acti… Oh ****. Wonder if any players will be left behind to focus on moves away though.

I am quite surprised some of the perceived “unwanted” bunch have been taken though I suppose it’s best to keep them as fit as possible for interested parties as well as Ange possibly looking at a change in stance for one or two. Would’ve liked maybe one or two more youngsters taken as well, especially Dorrington as he’d been involved in the first few days of training and I’d happily see him jump ahead of all CBs bar Romero on the pecking order.
