It says "Pre-arranged".

Was this before or after the Birmingham cup display??

[Tom]

Interesting that Mulgrew isn’t going; thought he was ‘back on the grass’ and not far from fitness.

[Mattyblue]

Presume he’ll be carrying on having his PT sessions in my gym instead then.

If they'd lost on Saturday - ' They are off on the piss, don't give a ####' !!!

Win 5 0 ' This will set them up for 2nd half of season, enjoy lads ' !

?

To be fair we usually come back off these things in better shape than after International breaks, at least they are doing some training and being monitored.

The good life.

Why always Portugal? We seem to have been inextricably linked since Shebby........☹

[Bigdoggsteel]

Lucky them. No issues here, as long as we perform next Tuesday. 

[Displaced Rover]

Well at least they're doing it on the cheap...

He'll never play for us again.

[Mattyblue]

‘The club and Charlie have mutually agreed to cancel the last year of his contact.’

Did you watch the interview with him when he came back? 

[Ewood Ace]

Perhaps I'm being a bit old fashioned but I can't see how warm weather training is going to prepare us for a Tuesday night game against QPR and a trip to Middlesbrough. 

[Mattyblue]

I don’t think Portugal is particularly warm in January anyway (quick Google... high of 13degrees in Lagos today)

Do easyJet go to Dubai?

It's 14 degrees in Faro today and it's raining

Nope. I'm telling you he won't play for us again.

Well he was pretty adamant he would be trying his best to do so

Time will tell 

[RoversClitheroe]

Anyone have the full list of players who went to Portugal?

Embarrassingly, I was wondering why the hell they were going to Nigeria!

A trip to Iceland would be far more expensive though !

Ironic really when sunshine is cheaper than frozen weather, that's global warming for you though.

[gumboots]

Doesn't warmth make muscles work more easily? And psychologically warm weather makes you feel better anyway. I dont begrudge them it. Plenty of us go for a bit of winter sun if we can

[Husky]

Have we signed anyone yet?
