Controversial opinion.They should move the training ground up to the accademy. Melwood is pretty small now. Maybe the new look is removable curtain things they were putting up to stop the team bib leaks.
Are the team bib links not through official photos? Or are the training photos usually taken earlier in the week?
The club have openly said they'd like to move the first-team to the Academy one day.
In Carra's book im sure he said it was one of the worst things they did - splitting 1st team & youth set ups. - if its all together then transition from one to the other is easier..
The club didn't really have much choice, as Melwood has no space to expand into and with all the required facilities to be classed as a top class Academy we had to move somewhere.What should of happened is around 2000 or so when Melwood was massively renovated, they should of moved everything to the Kirkby site which opened a few years prior.
Not sure it'll be anytime soon as doing a whole new entrance to Melwood - not that it's a massive job but if a decision was imminent on moving I doubt they'd bother.
The decision isn't imminent, but talks are going on.I'd imagine Klopp has had a few things to say about it, it has never made any sense as to why they are separate anyway
Withdrawn the plans for the changes they were looking to make to Melwood. Just noticed when went to check something with regards to the new Main.
Don't want to derail the thread
Moving it all to Kirkby then?
Could be. Or could be making changes to the application. Could have decided against the changes. Could be anything really!

Klopp when talking to journalists after the game yesterday about his new contract mentioned they've had discussions about building a new academy or moving it together with Melwood.
Not sure they'll build a new academy. There is no space to have it all at Melwood, but there is at the academy, so it's more likely a new training ground would be built there than anything else.
Went to the academy 1 Friday night a few years back and it really is a 1st class facility. One of the coaches there commented that the kids were spoiled.
Yeh I thought it was odd, maybe lost in translation. Unless they're going to build something completely new & move both.
Plans have been done for the relocation of Melwood to Kirkby
Dunno, seems like end of a era for both Everton and Liverpool to move away from West Derby and move into these super facilties outside the city.
