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.
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'.
They are running scared following our recent transfer activity, fearing a demoralising defeat with hat-tricks for our 2 new strikers.
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.
Clearly Kamara is not impressed. Calling a cameraman a w&nker is a bit OTT though. https://twitter.com/i/status/1544622386653323267
Has anyone else spotted this, but in nearly every pre-season photo I've seen the club post....it has Mattie Pollock in the middle of it!!
Yaser Aprilla is on the plane heading to the training camp in Austria to meet up with the team for tomorrow morning. Re Andrew French.
Only academy lads I've spotted so far in Austria from the pics and vids are JJ McKiernan and Adian Manning. Anyone else?
