With Paris receiving record amounts of snow this weekend and North America in a deep freeze, some might wonder if the third Ice Age is coming. Though it’s cold, that hasn’t stopped players from getting out for their pre-season trainings in Dubai. Well why not. It only makes sense to train there if its cold back home, right? No doubt they are spending their fortunes on hotel bills and other training expenses. Makes you wonder. What’s so wrong with just training indoors? Looks to me like they have a little too much spending cash for my preference. Maybe it’s time they started cutting out the unnecessaries and donated a few to their favourite charities.
