Just wondering why, because it's warmer there? (Of in the title was meant to be for...)

Maybe something to do with Puyol being at the training centre last week?

So we can come back with Sandro?

Pochettino has been regularly been doing this, he takes them up to the mountains and has them train there midseason

Kane is in Madrid

We dont play untill next weekend, and then its against Colchester. I would hope we would play a few of the frist team squad with a mixture of youths in that game.

Its a week on Tuesday until we play our next PL game, so a few days in Barcelona (what is it? a 2-3hr flight from London?) wont do any harm. Will be a good break for them IMO

I was just wondering what the logic is in taking the squad to Barcelona for one day between the games on Saturday and Tuesday. Hey, I'm sure there's a good reason, but since we're always whinging about how we have to make midweek trips and then play a couple of days later...

How do you know it's just one day I would have thought it would be a few, I'm sure the weather is a lot better than here so a bit of training in a nice city chance for the players to relax, and a treat for a good season so far. Also gives us a bit more coverage in Spain.

Nice to see the players tweeting it for us mere fans, looks a very happy group.

Lol you think we're trying to lure in Vardy .

I actually think it's a genius move from Poch, this time of year, training in warmer weather, it's sort of like a mid-season preseason, also makes the players feel like they are getting a little break, a reward for how good they have been, trust me when I say with this man there is always a reason or a method to his madness.

To fend off SAD.

 

[avonspurs]

Think they're holding training camp there. Sure I saw piccies on twitter.

Love all the people suggesting warm weather training - it was 1° hotter in Barcelona than in London today.

Neither do I...

I just walk outside in my tight white pants and hold my finger up in the air after licking it to check the weather, who needs a weatherman?

Is this high altitude training ?

Is Barcelona at high altitude?

There's your answer...



Most likely just a change of scenery. Looked like Espanyol's old stadium they were in, Poch has probably still got a set of keys.

If the season goes well this could be the last 7 days between matches we could have for a while.
