Guest neesy111 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 For some warm weather training, let's hope they keep out of trouble. Lets hope they don't do what a former player of ours did. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2007/feb/19/newsstory.sport3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I like the idea that the players are goig for a training stint/break somewhere else. Due to the paper thin squad, most of them are knackered. The change of the environment will hopefuly recharge their batteries for the run in and spending time as a group will hopefully strengthen the bond and team spirit. Pardew gets some credit for this.

Robster Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Could be another Hall of Fame thread coming here (a la Austrian Training Camp). Anyone out in Portugal able to report back on a daily basis ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 After the run of games they've had and our injury list this is well timed (as long as no one gets in to trouble) Gives Pardew a chance to spend more time with the players and key coaching staff while the same applies to Carver.

alpal78 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It just occured to me, if Pardew is in Portugal, does that mean he won't be involved with transfer negotiations or worse that he has given up and that there will be no incomings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought the same but I think these days our manager is only minimally involved in transfer negotiations. He'll probably get a call along the lines of "Awight Pawds, how's about Robbie Earnshaw? Well the thing is, we're signing him. Enjoy Portugal geez!"

He'll probably get a call along the lines of "Awight Pawds, how's about Robbie Earnshaw? Well the thing is, we're signing him. Enjoy Portugal geez!" You might be right, I just would prefer the manager to meet the player face to face before signing especially if it is a major buy. This is also important if there are more than one buying club, the player would be more impressed with the manager who took the effort to meet him instead of just talking on the phone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
