[Swiss]

So interestingly Bony isn't among the "Strikers" - John Stones did play today in their Pre-season match...

Nasri is also missing...

More of note though is the defence: Otamendi & Mangala aren't in the squad

[bluebrendan]

Nasri has now ordered king-size pizzas for the weekend.

[Swiss]

And a burger king




Forgot about Sané!

New signing Leroy Sane has not travelled to Sweden with the squad due to a slight problem with his hamstring but Pep is excited to start working with the 19-year-old

[gavin]

There was a video on the OS of Nasri playing football tennis and he did not look out of shape at all! Certainly not by any normal standards anyway. Interesting that he's not in the squad this weekend though.

Also strange that a friendly is on terrestrial TV.

[Swiss]

There's a training vid (the one with Zab & yaya scoring good goals). 50 seconds in you can see Nasri training by himself on another part of the complex

[Ludo]

Bit of convoluted thinking but Everton have just lost Besic for 6 months. Maybe a Nasri/Bony makeweight deal for Stones??

[Stephen Paul]

Think Nasri is on his way out

[Swiss]

We haven't sold any first teamers yet


Ok Demi left on a free & Wright retired...

Team.

Caballero, Zabaleta, Fernando, Kolarov, Clichy, Fernandinho, Silva, Delph, Nolito, Sterling, Aguero

No recognised centre half? Bit strange that.

[gavin]

He intimated he might give Fernandinho a go at centre half but to have no recognised centre half is strange indeed. Must be injuries!??

[Swiss]

yer, Ota, Vinny & Mangle are all injured so didn't travel.

Tosin and Denayer travelled but obvs not preferred or Pep is experimenting

[Swiss]

Good start Fernando...

[Ludo]

If we're going to persist with playing out from the keeper all season I'm going to have numerous heart attacks.

[Lekos]

Gunners could easily be 3-0 up

[Lekos]

Make that 3 - 1 

Great ball from Sterling.

[goat]

good halftime food there

[Ludo]

Nolito = Navas mk2
