Window Cleaner Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 Luke Shaw seemed to be hobbling pretty well at the end......perhaps he just always walks that way. Just the core of the first team group then, no re-integration of the loaned out from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 What happened to the good old fashioned run through the new forest? All these fancy foriegn ideas, pandering to the players.

Strachan wouldn't have put up with this namby pamby treatment, he knew how to get the best out of real try-hards like Paul Telfer. Gaston would have sh*t bricks if he'd ever have had to run the way WGS had them going in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bensfcno1 Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 Regardless of the international players coming back, the squad does look short by about 6/7. At least a few More signings needed in the coming month. They all seemed happy to see each other and then concentrating on working hard on the exercises.

trousers Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 Extended summer vacation due to playing international games. Like Clyne, Ramirez, Yoshida. I thought that, but then remembered him saying in his post-signing interview that he was going to arrive on the pre-season training scene a few days ahead of everyone else so that he can familiarise himself with the set-up in order to hit the ground running on day 1. Maybe that was just a bit of small talk for the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 Adidas made an error, causing an issue with our delivery by printing the 'wrong' badges on some of the equipment. Two questions, why did you not get in trouble for the photo of the new shirt & that fitness video was shocking. I run a martial arts business and they should of been doing more dynamics etc, the jumping over a hurdle like that and the lifting of a 20k weight on one leg is just so nuts.

wireframebox Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 I only counted 13 'senior' players leaving the dressing room. Plus the 5 or so returning from International duty. That's a pretty light squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boruc K.Davis Gazzaniga Clyne Fox Shaw Hooiveld Fonte Lovren Forren Yoshida Schneiderlin Cork Ward-Prowse S.Davis Isgrove Mayuka Lallana Puncheon Ramirez Rodriguez Do Prado Lambert That is 23 players that will train as the senior squad in pre-season! and then...

That's a pretty light squad? Interesting point actually. Unless injured, I can only assume the following players were asked not to come (or they trained with the Development Squad): Dean Hammond Jonathan Forte Billy Sharp Steve De Ridder Richard Chaplow Tadanari Lee Not sure on Lee's status, I know he wasn't called up to the Japanese squad but he was still playing football in June (I think) so maybe he has extended time off. But the others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 3 July, 2013 Share Posted 3 July, 2013 I remember how well we started the Championship season, with our ball control being far superior to everyone elses, and the players saying that was down to the fact we trained with footballs from day one of pre-season. I'd of liked to continue that trend, but I guess it was an Adkins thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
