Off to Dubai for a 4 day training trip.

Thanks.

But it's cold here

After their performance at Stoke they should be sent to Slough for a training camp, not Dubai

Even better, send them to that place that the Marine recruits trained at in Full Metal Jacket.

Hope we're not going to get talk of 'black holes' this year.

This sort of expense (PL decadence) would seem to be something the club could curtail without too much harm.

If they want 'warm weather training' stick them in The Dome and bring some heaters and lamps in! Warm weather training in preparation for a freezing cold and/or wet evening in Manchester?!

[Royal Ginger]

Sounds like a jolly to me. But, they've been good recently so fair enough. That 10m that we supposedly bid on Sig must be burning a hole in Anton's pocket.

At least we can all look forward to the twitter feed being full of exciting updates about Sean Morrison scoring a goal in training, or Jem Karacan doing some karaoke....

With McDermott reminding them he has no favourites, they are all equally worthless?

As if he doesn't have favourites........

Heaven forbid the club does something to keep morale up.

I'm sure we would all love for our employers to send us away for a sunny break. Could do with a morale boost.

Edit: FTR I really don't care what the club do in terms of training and I will look forward to pictures of them abroad on twitter

Judging by this thread it's absolutely poor form by the club. What on earth were they thinking!

[Jackson Corner]

Dubai is a long way to go just for four days warm weather?

This^^ Or what Nigel Gibbs had for breakfast.

7 hour flight, people go there for less time on a holiday

Only when McDermott was talking about it yesterday, that didn't seem to be the emphasis. More was said about other PL teams doing it, he even mentioned that a few others were going out there.

Reckon there are plenty of more cost efficient ways of keeping morale up. Still their choice, just so long as we don't then get the 'hard up' stories.

Whatever the club try to do, there's always a set of mongs ready to jump on their back.

Blimey. Why is everyone so negative?

Some sun and vitamin D, get away from the cold, rain and snow. Maybe a reward for a good run of results?

I think it's a great idea to recharge the batteries like that for the last 12 games.
