r0cafella Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Also, I’m pretty sure this is a commercial trip. Warm weather training Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Our players have been jet lagged since Rafa left, man. This might just bring them back to reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I was going to say I bet the players are treat like Kings, but if they get a humping Leeds today then maybe not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its a team effort but it's just another hindrance having her a few thousand miles away. Could use her for phone / laptop for transfer dealings ?

She’s obviously been flying out to Seville and Lille every other day for the past month to put all these bids in personally. not to mention all the reports of “multiple deals being negotiated simultaneously”. She must have body doubles to do all the work face to face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I’m usually a bit suspicious of ‘warm weather training camps’ as it sounds like an excuse for a bit of a jolly. No chance of that happening in Saudi. Facilities will be light years ahead of our training ground too. In that regard I don’t see any issues with it.

Dokko Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 As long as some of them, well most of them, don't come back I'm happy with the training camp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good opportunity to get them more intimately involved with the club too. Whet their appetite a little bit. Show them the day to day, allow them to see how shit we are in person.

Whitley mag Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I can’t help but feel this group of players deserve anything but 5 star facilities and VIP treatment, of course if we win today I’ll change my mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Doing our own thing and there being a disconnect with KSA would be a bad thing.. if we go down we need to ensure that they are invested enough to make it work. A successful trip could well add much needed funds for last minute transfers too, it’s a PR exercise but so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Weather is beautiful right now but I’d worry about the fact that undocumented Covid cases are currently rampant in the country. I imagine they’ll be training at the Al-Hilal training center too which, depressingly, is much better than our current set-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine there are very few professional training facilities which aren’t as bad as ours, in fairness. It was only in the last year or two that we were using wheelie bins and paddling pools, ffs.

Happinesstan Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) The last time the club treated these guys was a pepperoni pizza in Ponteland.

STM Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 It feels genuine from them too. I don't think their tweets are some clever PR exercise. They genuinely have their heart in the right place. It's all I've ever asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
