I've seen Grujic play for us, albeit it was a friendly. He even scored. We thrashed that Barcelona team that afternoon with a familiar scoreline.

Good to see the trimming down of the squad though.

Doubled our money on Grujic too, somehow!

Now how do we double Karius' value? Hmm, we could slip a Mars bar in his pocket....

Seems a lot to waste on a mars bar... Perhap we can drug some club's negotiating team into paying for him while unde the influence...

Who the hell are Wacker? And who would want to be part of Team 1 - has TAA done something to upset Klopp? It's like a shop window of rejects.

Team 1 v Wacker: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Davies, Beck, Clarkson, Morton, Cain, Gordon, Origi, Minamino.

Team 2 v Stuttgart: Adrian, Bradley, Konate, R. Williams, Tsimikas, Milner, Keita, Elliott, Mane, Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Trent coming back from injury. Maybe needs a bit of game time.

Wacker Innsbruck. I was about to say they are a very old Austrian team - but the original Wacker Innsbruck closed down in 1999. This lot are more recent.

Trent is working his way back from injury too. I expect he sees it as a team of fellow squad members, not a shop window of rejects... rofl

Anyone know what formation Team 2 played in?

Could we sell him as an instagram advisor or something?

That might do it. Perhaps as an advisor for players who aren't very good on how best to promote themselves on social media...

I suppose he isn’t heavy enough to make any money if he was to sold for glue ??

This made me chuckle.

Maybe Findus are still in the game of calling anything that looks like meat, beef.

BBC News - ‘A physical and psychological nightmare’ - the horrors of pre-season
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57890108

An interesting insight into the evolution of pre-season training.

I remember a handful of times we'd have football league clubs join us on one of our PT sessions in the Army.

Plenty of nervous smiles when they get handed a 25kg Bergan and told to keep up laugh

Nothing would stick if they did!

I heard he's been exempt from quarantine when he comes back to the UK - he can't even catch covid apparently.

I can remember a 4-4-2 journo who was an amateur footballer going to pre season with some lower league club many years ago for an article - they had him literally throwing up on the first day.

I can remember the likes of Julian Dicks and Mark Wright coming back from their summer break too heavy in the mid 90s - Dicks even said in the newspapers at the time that he was always a few pounds heavy and "sweated it off in pre season, so what's the problem?".

Times have certainly changed.

I remember reading in Ray Houghton's Football Diary book from back in the late 80's how the team dinner the night before a match was a big Steak.

How times have changed indeed.
