Looks as though GM's first decree is to take the team out for a bit of warm weather training in La Manga in Spain... Bit closer than Thailand!!! :thumbsup:
-
Scotland’s hotter :woohoo:
-
They are not playing there though are they
-

Certainly is today - 26 here in Edinburgh and a measly 24 in La Manga.

Cheap option 😉

What is the point in just going training to Spain? Waste of time and money. Warm weather training whilst it’s the summer in England.

Isn't there a sports training facility there? I'm sure it's not just warm weather training.

Other teams are out there so friendly games will be played also allows Barnsley to do their transfer shopping by taking players we have on trial.

Team bonding and getting to know the players in a different environment. The players are away from their family so just purely focusing on football.

......And the booze is cheaper.
-
.....Mind you, you'd think they'd get enough Boos on the pitch.
-
Hotels are cheaper than Bawtry.
-
Then again flights to Spain are probably cheaper than trains to Scotland

Team bonding with the new manager. Important in all walks of life.

My nephew was going to have two days in the lake district but got a cheaper deal - A week in Lanzarote.

clearly not the sharpest tool in the box asking a question like that never mind GAZLaz has kindly explained the reason .. lets hope the other posters can understand that

La Manga club is very nice. Go into La Manga itself and it is a dump.
-
Happy we didnt go to La Manga with Dickov and Taggart...

I’m in Marbella next week, thought I might get a car and drive down to have a look.... it’s about 5 hours away. Might give that one a miss.

I think it's about 50 miles from Alicante
-
80 miles and 1.5hrs driving!
-
A lot nearer to Murcia airport.

😂😂😂👍I'll be most likely in the banna tree on the prom 👍
-
Banana tree :blush:
-
Does it have branches everywhere?
-
:lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Have all the players gone including the transfer listed ones ?
-
You'd think all first team players contracted to us would be there
-
I was told yesterday that the transfer listed players hadn’t but I thought they would as they were put on the list by the previous manager
-
They haven’t even gone yet have they?
-
Are they taking their golf clubs? There are 3 courses at La Manga.
-
There is also some history of footballers behaving badly at La Manga. Notably some Leicester City players were arrested including a Mr Dickov.
I’m sure Rovers will be on best behaviour.
-
The three transfer listed players are at Cantley Park with the youth team players.

“But one thing I am, once I’ve made my decision on people, I’m very, very brutal to go ahead and do it."
Oh Christ, this is terrifyingly familiar...
-
It will be interesting to see whether McCann wipes the slate clean with regard to Lund, Garratt and Mandeville. I do think we need a defender, one or two midfielders and a striker.
Previous post from Red Baron re the transfer-listed trio and, although the manager is saying all 3 have a chance, the fact that they haven't gone with the others speaks volumes. They think it's all over.........
-

The manager said he'd talked to each one of them individually and asked them why they thought they were listed. I can only assume he didn't like their answers!
-
Alan, those three have a contract the club has to honour for another season, or come to an agreement to pay them up.
If they play hard ball it will limit our chances of bringing other players in, something has to give one way or another,new manager or not.
-
Selby, I've already gone on record to say the same thing! If no-one comes in for any of them, then they're here, come what may. However, the manager has made his move.
-
Say's he's going to give everyone a chance but his actions go against that. As RedJ says very similar and i was hoping for a bit of a change really
-
Its silly not to take them really. He'd get a good look at how they play, listen to instructions and interact with the squad in general. Garratt and Mandeville are good squad players who could do well with a run of games. The biggest question mark is over Lund but he isn't a bad player. Seems GM has already made his mind up.

I have to say, that's very much how it appears. It will be interesting to see if they feature in the friendlies and then whether they are given squad numbers.

And if that is the case, it's not took a week for him to start pulling the wool over our eyes

We have got to give him a chance and not prejudge him, and the three players themselves have to rise to the challenge themselves.
Yes I am a fan and think a couple are better players than a couple that are in the team, but it is up to them to prove it or they will be away.
All three are having their first bad experience of their life, and its time for them to get off their knees and fight especially Mandeville.
If he does not it is a waste of talent, and appart from Marquis and Rowe, we have no one with more than five or six goals a season in them now their game has been seen and noted by other teams.
With Williams not here and Mandeville not considered we are in danger of starting the season with the poorest attack we have had for years if we don't bring someone in, or give Mandeville a couple of games in preseason to prove his worth.
-
Do people not think that GM won't have had a word with DF about the squad and the reasons behind the trio being on the list?

Either Fergie or Strachan. It’s good management this. It’s a test to see how they respond.
-
Maybe they were never going on the trip as they were transfer listed.
Whether they stay or go we need and did last season another striker even more now with no Williams.
GM must not pussy foot about we need top six players from this transfer window we are not a Kindergarten. Resources have to be used well or he will be open to criticism as was DF from certain posters.
-
With the first team away abroad, the team we turn out at Alfreton in the first friendly will be interesting, whether the first team play or the youth side plus the transfer listed players.
If the first team don't do so well we can always put it down to jet lag.
If England win tonight it may affect the attendance, their game will kick off at 3pm as well I think.
-
Mandeville is on the Costa del Clee by the look of it. Pretty much the same as La Manga.
