If they keep selling players I can see the trophies drying up soon.

You are definitely one of my favourite non-LFC RAWKites.

I will like them more if they manage to get £75m off United for a crock who is in his last year.

United paid £89m for a player they let go for free, so that will probably happen.

I knew there would be a downside to selling these players, I suppose we'll just have to take it on the chin. 

Looking forward to seeing a 'new' Arsenal next season, it seems like Wenger has been there for ever. What is your opinion of your new manager?

Mourinho doesn't pay striker fees for defenders though...

He paid 35m for Lindelöf & 30m for Bailly before the market went crazy.

[CraigDS]

He paid 35m for Lindelöf & 30m for Bailly before the market went crazy.

In the same windows he paid something like £90m for Lukaku and £95m for Pogba though.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Bailly was his 1st signing.

Not that I am arsed,the more money he wastes the better afaic.

Our new player accommodation lodge looks pretty spiffy! The Brazil national team are using it ahead of the World Cup next week

We can now for the first time reveal exclusive imagery of our completed player accommodation Lodge, adjacent to our world-class Training Centre in Enfield.

The Brazilian national team will be The Lodge’s first guests, arriving on Monday and basing themselves at the brand new facility before departing for the World Cup in Russia on June 8.

Situated on the site of Myddelton Farm, The Lodge has been sensitively designed and furnished by F3 Architects LLP and built by Base Contracts Ltd to deliver the highest quality private accommodation and treatment facilities for our players and teams whilst retaining the farm’s key features and heritage.

Entry to The Lodge is gained through the original Farmhouse, with the reception area giving a warm and homely feel.

The Farmhouse then opens out into a light and spacious restaurant with large windows looking out to give an al fresco dining feel.

At the back of the restaurant is a large media screen equipped with games consoles and soft seating for recreation, while the original living areas can be accessed for more private meetings in a homely environment.

On the upper floor of the Farmhouse is the Myddelton Suite designed as private quarters equipped with a bedroom, bathroom and living area that includes a digital tactics board for meetings.

Across the landing is the Courtyard Room – similar quarters that overlook the original farmyard that has been redesigned as an open recreation area. On the opposite side of the Courtyard is the redeveloped Stables that also features two en suite bedrooms.

Players and backroom staff, meanwhile, will stay within a 40-bedroom, two floor, purpose-built crescent building, complete with green roof, that nestles into its natural surroundings.

Its corridors feature the inspirational Universal Game design, depicting some of the greatest goals in the history of football in a galactic style.

The rooms themselves are designed to maximise sleep, from the ultra-comfortable mattresses to lighting that automatically changes temperature depending on the time of day.

All rooms look out onto a spectacular communal garden area, equipped with a fire pit, bean bags and sun loungers that facilitates team bonding.

The Lodge’s basement is dedicated to Wellness and Recovery, with a high-quality gym that includes a first-of-its-kind flexible wall that accommodates a variety of equipment, as well as an altitude chamber, massage beds, strapping area and Doctor’s surgery.

Adjoining the gym is a large multi-purpose theatre room that can be used for team meetings, as a cinema room for recreation or as additional gym space or yoga studio, while there is also a hydrotherapy spa with both hot and cold pools for recovery.

This is all directly accessible from the bright and spacious dressing room that is curved to enable the coach to address all players.

From here, players walk upstairs to a separate boot-up area by the courtyard to prepare for training on nearby, immaculate Hotspur Way pitches specially set aside for teams staying at The Lodge.

Scroll through the stunning images above and keep an eye on Club channels for news on Brazil’s arrival at The Lodge next week.

Who you selling to pay for that?

[Tommy_W]

Sissokko hopefully. Should be fine as long as noones watched him "play" in the last 18 months.

Galactic Thierry Henry highlight reel sounds interesting

[CraigDS]

They not filled the corridors with pictures of their past glories?

[TepidT2O]

Why have they got accommodation for players at their traingin ground?  Seems utterly unnecessary..

Most clubs stay over in hotels the night before home games, so will be instead of that. I quite like the idea to be honest.

Good thing to have for when they're playing in London & even for when they're playing in Europe and get back to the UK late.

[Crosby Nick]

Looks alright. Still in Enfield though.

Really?  Why?

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Really?  Why?

As above,it is better than staying in hotels & will cut down on traveling time.

[TepidT2O]

When you fly back form European nights, Enfield is miles from any airport...  makes no sense to go back there..

[RK7]

I would love to see the rankings for managers salaries.

Poch must have a fantastic agent,he must be in the top 5 for best paid in the world and he's won the square root of zilch.

Do Spurs really want to win trophies above all else though?

I'd hazard a guess that his contract is awarded for his ability to improve players and in turn their transfer value. Levy will know this.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Are you just nitpicking for the sake of it ?

Makes sense because they would be able to get more kip before the next days training (Europe) & it is much better than using a Hotel for all of their games in London.

Pretty sure that we're adding players accommodation when we move everything to Kirkby.

No I’m not.

Why would I?

[CraigDS]

Not sure we are to be honest.

I thought that I read it but just had another search and not been able to find anything that mentions it.

[rob1966]

City have had accomodation connected to the Etihad by a bridge since 2014, where the players stay before a game. They all have their own rooms, makes them more comfortable than a hotel.

I thought that I read it but just had another search and not been able to find anything that mentions it.

Wouldn't be surprised if we did, no more staying in a City Centre hotel, finish training and can immediately start to relax, get any treatment etc rather than have to drive to town they get settled in the room.

that outside view is great in the summer, winter will ruin it

That hazard 2-2 one will look great

They just moved some beds into the trophy room, used up the empty space, another smart move by Levy.

thought they moved the cinema room there?

[Skeeve]

They considered that but it does have two floors. 

[BER]

Annoying how under the radar Vertonghen is for them. Been their best centre-back for what feels like forever yet never gets linked to anyone.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

He was linked with us a few years ago

[dimwit]

What have I missed? You don't appear to be a West Ham fan....and if I was having a dig at them I wouldn't have said average in regard to the Olympic Stadium as a football venue

That was lost in translation, thought you were having a go. sorry. no bad feelings 

[Brian Blessed]

Didn’t Rafa have our players take a siesta between training sessions? If so, we must have had some sort of sleeping accommodation, although probably not suitable for overnight stays.

Poch to Madrid.

[CraigDS]

Poch is probably in tears right now after signing his new deal
