The squad for the US tour: http://bit.ly/1rgd6Ht

No Luna or Tonev which presumably means they're off (or forming a new breakaway Bomb Squad). No Robinson either though which is odd.


Its a shame and I really wanted them to succeed but as Tonev sadly proved against Mansfield he just has not improved since last season. :(
Pleased to see Benteke and Kozak coming along. They can't be too far from returning then I suppose. Even if they're not quite at full training yet, it makes sense for them to be around the group and also watch what they're working on.

Yeah that is good to see!

Gabby, Weimann and lots of others didn't look that great either.

That is true, but Tonev needs to break into the squad. Those players already have proven they can play in the first team on their best days.

I love the idea of Tonev, I really wanted him to succeed, he isn't useless or terrible, but when he blasted it wide yet AGAIN against Mansfield when there were players open in the box I just rolled me eyes. My guess is lambert/keane and the rest of the team did the same..

Robinson played in a 0-0 draw at Boston United yesterday.  It sounds like the US I suppose.

Tonev could also be a candidate to go on loan. 

We seem to expect young foreign players to come over, learn the language and fit in in less than a season.  Would we lose anything from Tonev, Sylla or Helnius joining championship clubs for the season?  I doubt it (their value is rock bottom anyway), but we could easily gain something.

Helenius has gone back to Denmark already, and Sylla has been packed off to Turkey.

I assume you know Helenius and Sylla have already left on loan.

No Carruthers either from the squad on the OS, hope he has not hurt himself again.

Tonev seems to always get the 'young' tag, he's 24. I'm not saying he shouldn't be given time as its a new league, but he isn't young.

I'm bound to ask what has so monumentally failed about the coaching if he is still not looking up and blazing the ball out of the ground at the start of his second season.

That is not just a question of 12 months with us though, that is a problem with the player.

Ha yeah. That'll be it. Or someone remembers seeing him as a youth on fifa a few years back, where they have no image just a silhouette. 'Hey lambo, i remember getting this lad on fifa a few seasons back, got him for just 3k a week and his shooting was 54, and he was only 17, his shooting stats must be like ... 74 by now.'
