I wonder if another seat will be Given to another goalkeeper ?

[mushRTID]

Forgive me if iv missed this but are we just training out there or playing friendlies?

[RobTheRover]

A bit of both, I gather, although the friendlies will be behind closed doors.

[Dagenham Rover]

Hey up all these trialists going to Portugal at our expense are you sure they have not signed   

[RobTheRover]

I think all the youngster triallists have impressed Dickov.  We need decent talent to add to our homegrown talent to make a good Development pool to make the step up to the first XI when required.

[RedRover45]

Thought it was just training. If they're playing friendlies out there I will be a bit pissed off. I've been waiting since 1984 since the last 'foreign' tour.

Only two trialists Dagenham, McCullogh and Kello, all the others have signed, Duffy, Furman Forrester, M'Voto , Philliskirk etc, according to DROS.

[Al4475]

I guess this lets us know a bit more what's happening in Portugal!

This game will be the last before the squad travel to the training camp in Portugal for a week of intense fitness and tactical training and a behind closed doors friendly game against a local team next Wednesday.

Red it says "behind closed doors"....

Can you point me to the link please as I can only find reference to Furman signing? Philliskirk isn't going to Portugal but is probably one for the development squad anyway.

[The Beast]

Didn't know having sex in an alleyway was a crime! Luke McCullough's going to love Saturday nights round Donny!

[newyankee]

  On the DROS link on the original post, it states, Trialists, Kello and McCullough would be going, which therefore infers that the others are not trialists as was Dagenham's point.  I slipped up with Philliskirk when mentioning the "signings".

[glosterred]

Seems a waste of money if all they are going for is some warm weather training

In the link to the Motherwell team news it states 'players who have agreed a deal in principle, Duffy, M'voto & furman, will be playing today - obviously written before Furman signed. So M'voto & Duffy are not trialists, they are also not our players yet, but they have agreed a deal in principle. 

[GazLaz]

It will be a good trip for team bonding.

Space on the plane - Fernandez not going - not looking good for him - great start to the season

[DonnyOsmond]

I'd take Wakefield after that.
