Mbete and Wilson-Esbrand might start the Charity shield if they impress.

Perrone in the squad I see as is Phillips. I imagine Gvardiol and Kovacic will join the squad in a week or so. They’re not in the group excused the tour and starting training on August 5.

Kalvin Phillips, Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, Stefan Ortega Moreno, Ederson, Maximo Perrone, Scott Carson, Oscar Bobb, Jacob Wright, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, Jadel Katongo, Joel Ndala, Tom Galvez, Nico O’Reilly, Mahamadou Susoho, Justin Oboavwoduo, Luke Mbete, Jaden Heskey, Rico Lewis, Callum Doyle, James McAtee, Amar Fatah, Stephen Mfuni, Micah Hamilton, Lakyle Samuel, Ben Knight, Josh Wilson-Esbrand

Please note: Others may join in due course

Yanks are kicking off because they've paid to see the B team!

I've just seen Springsteen in Stockholm. Taylor Swift was in Zürich last week and twice as many people were outside the ground each nicht as were in it.
So many Americans at both Venues. Bitching and moaning about the way tickets are scalped in the good ol U , S of A. It's actually cheaper for some to fly to Europe to see what they want. I think it's great City are milking their stupid systems. Their own fault. .

The Boss , btw , sold out 60k each night in a fantastic new stadium where the Swedish national team play. Completely covered retractable roof. Jim Rag should go and have a look at how roofs are to be built.

I understand why we have to do these stupid tours, but I’d happily go back to supporting local clubs by having friendlies with the likes of Bury, Macc, Stockport etc

Hopefully we find a defensive central midfielder amongst that midfield like the way we found bobb for cover out wide last year.

I did like the look of Jacob Wright for the few mins he played last season.

And Newquay and Torpoint!

Not a great period to be honest

I’ll be in Wadebridge this time next week stuffing my face with pasties!!

A stupid tour after a lot of our players went deep in the Euros.
What on earth dud they expect? Our strongest 11.

I’ll bet we trouser somewhere in the north region of £10m if not more from the pre season games. Add in extra fan base and merchandise and it’s easy to see why all clubs do this

Makes a change from eating pies eh ? Feels like you're really on holiday.

Josko and Mateo have joined up with the squad, I suspect KDB will be next.

Kev should go but not play. He was injured for 6 months last season and then on/off towards the end of the season. He's gone away and ran himself into the ground with Belgium for no reason.

KDB , have you not heard then ?

If our club agree a fee then hes gone.

Kevin’s excused the tour altogether along with others who reached the last 16 of the Euros. He’s back on August 5. Remains to be seen whether the England players plus Rodri arrive back on August 12.

half time in the game and they have done the exact opposite.

Esbrand completely done twice - but we've got him stepping into midfield and no help going back. Gone backwards for me.
