Sounds like we’re just flying out to Spain to play this and then flying back again? Odd one

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Didn’t we play Udinese at the Ricoh maybe about 2007?

I have it from a good source that this is part of the transfer agreement for O’hare to go to Sevilla. Announced this week

Prolly a sweetener they added to the mega deal they put together to poach Kastaneer off us

Are they paying us in oranges?

I reckon a member of the office staff got asked to arrange a game against 'The Villa' and just misheard.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Would say this is likely to be predominantly their B team

De Jong vs Mcfadz

Whats odd is they are playing Villa in Brum in August

Part of the deal for them to sign Mason, Kastaneer, Hilsner, Allen, Jobello and Shipley.

Bit of a weird one. Wouldn't have thought we'd be having a training camp in Europe given the current issues so flying out for one friendly seems an unnecessary expense. Not to mention the hassle of needing everyone to isolate on return.

Taking Kasta, Mason etc out there, then leaving them. Hoping they get the hint?

We had planned a training camp in Spain but everything was on hold due to travel restrictions
Maybe this is part of the solution

 

[bawtryneal]

Seems like they are taking an unnecessary risk to me
The terms must be very lucrative or what is the point !!
Only needs a change in the self isolating rules to create a major head ache prior to the season starting
You would think it would be easy to arrange another friendly with a Premier League team with fewer teams travelling abroad
Doesn`t add up !

 

[covcity4life]

We may be invited to super league soon

 

[SBchimp]

Elite sports (players & staff) don't need to isolate on return.

 

[hill83]

Everything is a bad decision.

 

[WestEndAgro]

Got Benfica written all over it

Does [INSERT LATEST SBT WHIPPING BOY HERE] count as an elite sportsman?

Still waiting for the Juventus friendly to welcome our return to the Ricoh that didn't happen in 2005...

They are going for a week to a training camp with this game being played at the end of the week

Let's hope this one actually goes ahead and at the stadium it's meant to!
I've still never recovered from the bike ride the other year when we were meant to play here and didn't so cycled to the alternative venue / training camp
(Not that we get to go mind!)
