Is Chadli, or any of the later WC guys, back in training yet?
I don't believe so, thought I read they will all miss the USA tour as well, rejoin the squad after that.
Is Chadli, or any of the later WC guys, back in training yet?
GK: Archer, Friedel
Def: Fryers, Rose, Daws, Kaboul, Vlad, Veljkovic, Walker, Naughton
Mid: Carroll, Capoue, Sandro, Ceballos, Falque, Eriksen, Holtby
Fwd: Townsend, Lamela, Lennon, Soldado, Kane
WC Break: Lloris, Verts, Dembele, Chadli, Paulinho, Bentaleb, BAE?
Adebayor sick.
I'm guessing those will be the players definitely on the tour based on training photos...Any other idea what youth players might go along?
Pritchard (was hoping he'd be first team this season but haven't seen him in training), McEvoy, Oduwa, Walker-Peters, etc?
Is Chadli, or any of the later WC guys, back in training yet?
You had to jinx itThis is the first time Ade could have a proper pre-season in 3 years.
Big unknown in the CB's is whether Kaboul will regain the fitness and form of 2 years ago (and equally Sandro as a DM). I've put Fryers and Veljkovic there as I think they can play there - but realistically this season will Fryers play many PL games there ? Veljkovic I think is likely to play more EL games.
I like Dawson more for his leadership role ratheer than as a CB these days, and Chirches was out a fair bit with injuries.
So I think we probably need a CB, but I'd like to understand Kaboul's situation a bit more. And if Vertonghen is also going to help cover LB again, we certainly need more defenders - unless Poch is going to rely on Fryers & Veljkovic playing 20+ games between them.
If we sell Dawson we definitely need two centre backs in. Proper centre backs who aren't slouches, can marshall a defensive unit and aren't prone to falling asleep on the job. Surely there must be one or two players out there like that available to us?
I am assuming that the tour party will include those players who have appeared in the training shots (not counting the day when the first team seemingly trained with the development squad). So Archer, Fredericks, Fryers, Carroll, Mason, Ceballos, Falque all in, but no sign of Miles (is he still with us?), Khumalo, Veljkovic, Pritchard, McEvoy, Coulthirst, Obika or Coulibally.
What was he thinking?I just saw Milos in the most recent training pics. He was looking at Lamela take on Fredericks.

First one is in Seattle against the Sounders on saturday, 1 pm local time (9 pm UK). Then on to Toronto and Chicago - I think in that order.When is the 1st pre season game I know we are playing a few games in the USA but can't find out when

Clearly amazed at what Lamela is doing.
I didn't even see the strings until you pointed it out, so maybe it isn't the strings drawing your attention to that area.We need to send a memo to them to make sure the strings on the shorts get tucked into the shorts... Seeing a couple of stuff dangling and swing around that area isn't something i want my attension drawn too! Why cant the strings be dark blue too!
I agree but I don't think we can class Falque & Mason as youngsters any more. Falque is the same age as Siggy & Chadli and Mason is only 1 year younger.I'm really interested to see what the youngsters that came along can do. I was expecting Pritchard to be the player to flourish a bit under Poch, but seeing as he's out on loan, surely one of Ceballos, Falque, Mason, Fredericks, Veljkovic, etc will play a notable role in the first team this season. Ceballos in particular is a player I think has looked impressive in the past.
True.I agree but I don't think we can class Falque & Mason as youngsters any more. Falque is the same age as Siggy & Chadli and Mason is only 1 year younger.
Unfortunately, im coming to the conclusion that Paulinho is the new Klebersen and Bobby the new Postiga!No.
Reputedly 2 weeks off after their last game - but I'd hope that Paulhino gets more after 2 years of almostcontinuous football (confederations cup last summer) he probably needs a rest to avoid having another season like last season when he was rarely looking like the player we thought he was
