Literally every big club goes on tour to lucrative markets for pre-season now. It's worth at least several million pounds a year, possibly more when you consider long-term commercial revenues. Not a single person would want to give up one new signing per summer in return for going back to games at Leyton Orient etc instead.
Yeah we’d be mugs not to, but we also need to pick places that aren’t in the middle of a monsoon season and if we do persevere with such locations, find a stadium which has a roof

for people getting paid hundreds of thousands of pounds to plan these things (if not millions), it’s astounding how they got this one so wrong

How's the weather in SIngapore and is the stadium there covered? It is!

The cutting-edge stadium design features a retractable roof that’s able to fully open and close in 25 minutes if it rains, while also creating a cooler indoor temperature during daytime events by providing ample shade. The curved roof can also double up as a giant projector screen at night for Singapore’s special events, such as New Year celebrations and Singapore’s National Day events each year.

As this is over can we get serious again.

Now that we are considering Mbappe, can someone create a player thread so we can't start to discuss where he might fit in and what he can bring to the team?

It'd be nice for them to give us an official on or off confirmation, or at least a time when a decision will be made.

Players doing a lap of the pitch now, some good clapping there from Davies

If any of you question why I’m so negative 90% of the time, on my birthday I’ve seen England likely lose the Ashes because of rain, Tottenham have their game cancelled 6000 miles away from England due to rain and Lewis Hamilton will likely be done on turn 1 by Verstappen later. Let me live.
