    Rose because it's pointless, Masina must be leaving, Sarr and Dennis not being risked

    Asprilla meant to be joining us in Austria - I'll believe it when I see it.

    Emmanuel Dennis, Ismaila Sarr, Adam Masina and Danny Rose have all missed going to Austria. (The Athletic). It is expected Yaser Asprilla will join the group in the Austrian training camp.

    No surprises, but it does mean that Masina is probably going to Udinese.

    James Morris to take the backup LB position this season by the looks of it.

    I think he'll be part of the squad but further down the pecking order. I expect Hungbo and/or Sema to back up that position ahead of Morris.

    Best bit of news i've heard since the close season began. That and the fact Tufan isn't signing as a perm deal. Now we only need to shift out Cathcart and Cleverley, which on the basis of a limited squad probably will not happen.

    Apparently the Say No To Appropriating Big Cat Culture Hornets (SNTABCCH) group issued a statement and rightly forced the club to distance themselves from a fixture against the so-called 'lions' at the offensively named 'den'.

    I think you’ll find that was Roger Federer after he beat Andy Murray at Wimbledon.

    I don't like Masina - but he was at least half-decent in the Championship last time round and age is on his side in that regard.

    Thats not a defence of him or me saying I want too keep him - I've wanted him out for years. But if its a straight shoot out between Masina and Sema to back up Kamara next season, I know who I'm choosing, thats all I'm saying.

    There will be no LB.

    It'll be LWB and Sema if he continues to stick around.

    Only academy lads I've spotted so far in Austria from the pics and vids are JJ McKiernan and Adian Manning.

    Anyone else?
