Is there a point in training camps, aside from wasting my hard earned money? :)

I arrange friendlies with Chinese clubs as that's where it is, but at the end my assistant says he didn't notice an improvement in squad harmony etc...am I doing something wrong?

1) club exposure in wealthy markets (increase club rep and revenue)
2) fitness
3) pre-season games (test tactics/players/formations)

I believe they have now added those features, yes.

IIRC training camps raise your exposure and increase fluidity as Raikan said, but definitely the biggest reason for it is fitness, both in terms of immediate fitness and also throughout the season. A full pre-season with training camp can help players avoid injury and be maintain fitness even into late season.
