    Well worth the listen for those who love the game. Highly re... more

Q: When we have a look at this World Cup, and you got all these players away on camps and that sort of stuff, are you nervous about them being in those camps with players from other clubs?
Graham said players naturally compare club environments and discuss coaches, training and teammates while away on representative duty. Those conversations can influence recruitment, especially when players are off contract or considering a move.
