Summer Training Camp

[keith margam]

The 24 man squad that travelled to Spain last Sunday on the week long training course-

Erwin Mulder, Steven Benda, Kyle Naughton, Connor Roberts, Mike van der Hoorn, Joe Rodon, Cian Harries, Declan John, Matt Grimes, George Byers, Jay Fulton, Yan Dhanda, Wayne Routledge, Nathan Dyer, Barrie McKay, Oli McBurnie, Courtney-Baker-Richardson, Tom Carroll, Brandon Cooper, Ben Cabango, Joe Lewis, Liam Cullen, Jordon Garrick, Jack Evans.

Borja Baston and Jeff Montero didn’t travel, presumably not being part of our plans.

Bersant Celina, Kristoffer Nordfeldt and Joel Asoro also did not travel, but have been away with their countries during the recent international break, and will join up with the squad on Tuesday.

The Ayew’s are in Egypt for the African Cup and we are desperate to off load them. Remember Jordan Ayew refused to train with us last season before eventually being loaned out to Palace, he’s not welcome back anyway after that.

Looking at that squad there I'm trying to work out where do we get our creativity and pace from . Celina is hit and miss and we're going to miss James massively, then there's McBurnie and Van Der Hoorn that could be sold and we're struggling. Fair to say cooper has got his work cut out
