Did I say it was? Duncan seems to think that he won't be available until just before the season kicks off. This season reinforcements are much more important (especially in defence) than last season. I don't think he should go on a two week holiday during that period when it is our first season back in the Prem really but I think two weeks before the season starts is the least ideal time to be away, especially if it affects transfer dealings. Is Adkins going away with his children this week?
