Having just signed six new players, having them away together, with no distractions, for a weeks training/bonding is a decent idea.
Crystal Palace have cancelled their trip to Dubai because of their recent form. I got the impression that was meant to be more of a holiday though. Silva doesn't seem to be a holiday type of guy - not when there's relegation to avoid!
I think it's a great idea .. a full week .. no distractions .. MS able to get his ideas across to them ready for Burnley .. all the new players given chance to bond with the rest of the squad .. if they'd stayed here it would 2 to 3 hrs training then fk off home .. win win situation for me.
Basically say, thanks for the birthday wishes, just finished a double training session. See you soon.
