Kian is only 15/16 and already been scoring almost every appearance he had for the U18's last season. Both versatile winger/forwards. Nephews of Jermaine Pennant.
CloudFox Posted 19 August 2020 Author Posted 19 August 2020 No training pics just yet, which seems odd. Any ITKs know why news is so quiet from the club right now? Feels a bit eerie.

Some first-team City players are expected back at the club’s Belvoir Drive training ground on Saturday and preparations for the new season will ramp up from there. Getting the squad ready for the Premier League’s September 12 kick-off will include pre-season fixtures, and it is understood City will head to Birmingham’s Wast Hills training ground for a behind-closed-doors game in the lead-up to the campaign. A date for the fixture has not yet been announced. The Championship club recently appointed former Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka as their manager following Pep Clotet’s departure just before the end of the last season. The Spaniard hinted at the friendly in his debut press conference as Blues boss on Friday afternoon. Asked about the young gems in his new squad, Karanka replied: “We have 20 to 22 players and a few of them from the academy. They are training really well. “If you don’t know them, you wouldn’t notice if they are from the academy or the first team. Let’s see when we play against Tottenham or Leicester, but in the training sessions, I’m really pleased with them.” https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-visit-championship-side-4427610 I could just about walk to the Birmingham City training ground from my house - so near yet so far...

The club may need every penny of revenue going forward with no real signs of this dreadful pandemic going away. Im sorry but... are you aware of the value of our club and owners? My 10 quid is not even a drop of piss in their pot.

Fox92 Posted 21 August 2020 Posted 21 August 2020 These are better pre season fixtures than when we are actually allowed to go to games.

goose2010 Posted 21 August 2020 Posted 21 August 2020 Nice that's me doing no work for a few hours on Wednesday then
whitlock Posted 24 August 2020 Posted 24 August 2020 Some pre season images.... photographer must be back from holiday!
daddylonglegs Posted 24 August 2020 Posted 24 August 2020 Now a photo of Youri, too! World's gone mad.
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 24 August 2020 Posted 24 August 2020 Hearing rumours about 10 of our players are in isolation due holidays etc, barely anyone is training. Rodgers isn't happy

RowlattsFox Posted 24 August 2020 Posted 24 August 2020 To be fair I have sympathy, if true, given how quickly some of the quarantine changes came into place, although I guess they could have come home as soon as they knew. They all knew their return date though so common sense would have said have a holiday but make sure you're back.in the UK within 14 days of the pre season, just in case.
CosbehFox Posted 24 August 2020 Posted 24 August 2020 At least half of the league will have players in the same situation ie quarantine - they’ve all had players who’ve gone around the world for holidays
jeffschlupp Posted 24 August 2020 Posted 24 August 2020 Why are they in isolation? I thought 'elite athletes' were given special treatment given they are all being tested twice a week?

Gevans_97 Posted 24 August 2020 Posted 24 August 2020 Danny Simpson back training at the ground. Assume this is just in order to help him keep fit whilst he’s looking for a new club. if so, class from the club to look after him like that.

Still mystified why he didn't get a decent deal at a decent level club last season. I know he doesn't fit with where we've moved to formation wise but he's a good defender.

Works for both sides I would imagine as we need some actual bodies in the training sessions.
