Didn't realise that was the case re Millwall's record offer... yes potentially I agree with you!

It’s clear from those photos that Ben White is unhappy and is on his way to Leeds
On Instagram in what looks like a home gym setup, so may be in quarantine

It is disappointing he can't even get a game in our training sessions now. Bad sign for the future.

Florin Andone pictures on Twitter stating that he’s looking forward to the season ahead. Is he the extra forward we need?

Yes he is.
Our players don't seem to have numbers on their training kit this season, are we to see big changes in the numbering and they're waiting a few weeks to get the squad settled down before committing to numbers?

Bissouma is quarantining from his holidays, nothing to read into there.

It's that time of year when the players return to training after their summer breaks, and the club posted some pictures from the first training session onto their website yesterday.
Whilst slightly unreliable, due to a few first team players missing after the euros or quarantine (Bissouma), these early photos could give an indication of potential outgoings. They also provide insight into the u23s that we could see make an impact for Potter this season. There are around 40 photos, so I won't post them all, instead I'll focus on the key omissions and inclusions in the first training session.
Glaring omissions( excluding internationals): Aaron Connolly, Jahanbaksh, Matt Clarke
Surprise inclusions: Haydon Roberts, Reda Khadra, Carl Rushworth, Ostigard, Number 42?
Happy to see: Mwepu, Lamptey and March all appear to be training with the squad!
Sorry for the lack of photos, find all 38 below.

Just out of interest....why is it surprising to see Ostigard and Khadra in those pictures? Khadra was a member of the first team squad last season, before he got injured (he was on the team sheet for four first team matches, coming on for his PL debut against Man City); where would you expect Ostigard to be training?
Number 42 is Marc Leonard, by the way.

Sorry, wasn't so much meant to be 'surprise' inclusions, more just interesting players that we haven't really seen with the squad previously. I totally agree that Khadra and Ostigard should be part of the squad next season, however I can't admit to really knowing much about Leonard, and I'd be surprised if he is a part of the ssquad next season when other centre mids such as Alzate struggle for minutes.

Is Andone getting electric shock therapy in photo 21?
I'd presume a similar situation to Connolly and Molumby, just not in frame.
Details about Aaron and Jayson came directly from the club on enquiry.
Surprised that we have our own dentists at the club
They don’t! I’m pretty sure they use the services of Lewes High Street Dental Practice.
