Topic: Kirkby upgrade for 1st team??

[Samie]

After the international break. I guess the likes of Milly and Ox will start training there next week.  Virg can try out the new medical wing.

Thats probably who the hydroworx training is for.

[CraigDS]

Is there ramp access to them or will he walk?

[Welshred]

I believe they're going to winch him in with a crane

Liverpool's players will move to the club's new AXA Training Centre in Kirkby on November 17 where Alexander-Arnold will be assessed by the medical department.[Echo]

We are booked in for training the physios on the Wednesday. Pretty desperate to get the players in the Hydroworx.

Edit - Anyone know when the team is fully moving over?

With our latest injury curse, thought this was an interesting article highlighting why Klopp was so keen to move on to Kirkby. Hopefully these treatment centres will help the likes of Virgil, Joe and Trent to recover.

You can use the Hydroworx within weeks of ACL surgery, it instantly helps the lack of range of motion, knee extension and flexion of the knee and also helps the player/patient gets confidence in his body a lot sooner than standard rehab. It also has special massage attachmenst form the jets that can and should be used to break down scare tissue on a far greater scale than sports a massage ever could. Hopefully we see the benefit of this in the coming months.

Yes. Let's hope so. Joe and Virgil are close as well hopefully it will help both of them in what is a long road to recovery.

End of an era lads but it was needed to progress as a club.

This bit is interesting though. 

Klopp and senior players such as Jordan Henderson and James Milner were heavily involved in the design process of the 9,200-square-metre complex, which was led by London-based architects KSS.

A friend of mine (massive bluenose, ironically) works on a lot of the projects at the club. He says that Henderson and Milner are almost always the player representatives on these projects, and that they are both consummate professionals and a joy to work with. For a bitter blue, he's always going on about what a well run club Liverpool is.

There are about 30 photos here of the finished work from the builders. Looks amazing. Scroll down towards the end of the page.

Love the James milner door!

[Zee_26]

The real question is what type of coffee do they use there?

[thekitkatshuffler]

I know it's been mentioned before but I'm not a fan of this separating out of the Premier League title from our other League titles.



Feeding into the 18+1 rather than 19 narrative.

That looks mighty fine.

Couple of pictures from the last time I was there, I'll try get some more up as I find them

Are those the fitness pools Matt?

Yeah, hydroworx is the lit up one and then the hot and cold pools to the left. Couldn't find pictures of the main pool

Thanks for that.

Whoever thought that the Stamford Bridge and OT signs were a good idea needs bouncing out the door.

Bahaha thought it was abit odd.

Stamford Bridge one is above a poster that has Chelsea 1 Liverpool 3 on it (looks like it anyway). Guessing the poster for Old Trafford will be the same for some big win we had there. Looks to be a Villa Park sign too. Is a bit odd though

LFC to install historic time capsule at AXA Training Centre

https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/training-ground/415506-lfc-to-install-historic-time-capsule-at-axa-training-centre

[Samie]

The new training complex officially opens next week.  Our injured lads and Milly have just got a head start. 

[So… Howard Philips]

Where's the leaning post for new signings?

[CraigDS]

Where's the leaning post for new signings?

There is a whole room with various items to choose from to lean on.

[flyingcod]

First question that needs to be answered is why does Jurgen need 2 Widescreen Tele's in his swanky new office? 

It's well known at the club Jurgen likes to watch Home & Away and Neighbours at the same time.

[So… Howard Philips]

There is a whole room with various items to choose from to lean on.

I assume the various items form a column on Edward's spreadsheet to ensure that a player's angle of lean coefficiency is taken into account when considering a signing then.

I believe it's the final test before they get to sign on the dotted line. They are put into that room while Klopp and Edwards watch from behind a one way mirror and if they choose the wrong one the floor drops open and they end up at Goodison.

[Welshred]

The club haven't done lean photos for a number of years now I dont think. We certainly didn't see them for Thiago or Jota.

Melwood didn't have the room mate, it's the main reason we moved.

All past and future managers will go up on this wall. Just get rid of the owl.

[jillcwhomever]

This whole move is so exciting for me and its a huge opportunity for more of the academy lads as well. There are lots of articles on the LFC official website, but the feeling which comes through from all of them is this has been in the making for a long time. Michael Edwards made the point that any up and coming young player can be discovered that bit earlier and Klopp has already said he will be watching the younger age groups as well. Feeling really optimistic for the future now.

Surely only the managers who won/win something?

[Samie]

Then it would be the "Winning Manager's Gallery" mate. 

[No666]

We've had more than 12 managers.
