Should we move Salah central?

Just a thought, but with the new contract sorted, is there a case for moving Salah to play as the central striker next season?

At 32, in order to squeeze what we can from him - would it not be less taxing for him to play centrally rather than out wide? He's shown to be exceptionally good at creating chances for others, so we could give him a Harry Kane/Firmino type of role, and spend the resources we have on a new wide right forward?

Are yiz enjoying this week..?

Seriously?

I'm like a flippin' 10 year old again, feeling the excitement grow with each passing day, with everything that I do this week simply being something that I have to get past, to get me one step closer to Sunday, and winning the league again.

Nothing (other than the girls) matters this week except Sunday, and allowing myself to enjoy the build-up and then lose myself in the actual moment. I'm almost 53 years old. I've been through some 'real-life' shite recently. It wasn't fun. It's not over yet. And this is only football. It shouldn't still matter this much.

But it still does. And, right now, I'm sooooooo fucking happy that it does.

Enjoy it, folks - These are the times that we endure the tough days for...

Love (mist of) yiz. YNWA.

London for Spurs game

Random one - not quite a drinkies but could be depending if anyone is interested. I'm meeting up with the one & only Oncy (and possibly Ijg too!) to watch the Spurs game in London. If anyone fancies joining us, say in here or DM me?!

Won't post venue in case any mentalists come and hunt me down based on my avatar.

Worthy of his own thread?

Blast from the past

This video popped up on my YouTube feed:

It's fascinating to hear just how much respect his contemporaries had for his game.

I belong to the generation that endured that 30-year league drought from start to finish. Apart from a few memorable seasons, it’s not exactly an era to look back on fondly.

Still, I consider myself fortunate to have witnessed this guy play for us.

Hey Mr DJ put a record on.....

Surely they're having a laugh?

Seeing this pop around everywhere - it has to be a joke right?
If it isn't, I sincerely hope we sign him and he can have a side career as the spokesperson for Pantene or something.

We can share the story which left Khusanov in a heated row with Pep Guardiola after a training session. According to high-ranking sources, Khusanov’s future at City is already up in the air!
After a training session in late March, Pep embraced Khusanov and praised his performances both in training and in games. ‘You’re a champ’ Pep told him. Khusanov replied: ‘you’re a shampoo’ due to the language barrier as he meant to say ‘you’re a champ too’.

Pep Guardiola didn’t see the funny side of it as he’s convinced Khusanov made fun of his baldness. Apparently Ruben Dias tried to intervene and explain the situation as Khusanov finds English hard to speak, but Pep’s had enough.

Khusanov may not play again for City and is only making the bench to fill the numbers. His City career could be over before it even begun

We’ve got Gakpo….

You Aina seen nothing yet

As Liverpool prepare for what could be a transformative summer transfer window, the club’s recruitment team is already lining up contingency plans — and one name gaining traction is Nottingham Forest full-back Ola Aina.

The upcoming window promises to be one of upheaval at Anfield. Several first-team players are expected to depart, but no potential exit looms larger than that of Trent Alexander-Arnold. The England international is attracting serious attention from Real Madrid, and sources indicate he could be on the move, leaving a significant void in Liverpool’s defensive and creative structure.

Liverpool’s recruitment department has already turned its attention to finding a suitable replacement should Alexander-Arnold depart. According to sources via Caught Offside, Ola Aina has been identified as a serious target.

The 27-year-old Nigerian international has enjoyed a standout season with Nottingham Forest, making 32 appearances and emerging as one of the Premier League’s most reliable right-backs. His blend of pace, composure, and tactical intelligence makes him a natural fit for a high-pressing, possession-based side.

Aina’s versatility — equally capable of operating as a traditional right-back or in an inverted role — aligns well with Slot’s tactical fluidity, further elevating his appeal.

Liverpool are not alone in their admiration for Aina. Chelsea, where he began his professional career, are exploring the possibility of a reunion. The Blues, along with Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, have expressed interest in securing the defender’s signature this summer.

Chelsea’s pursuit carries a sentimental angle — Aina was developed in the club’s youth academy and made senior appearances before moving abroad. A return to Stamford Bridge would represent a full-circle moment in his career.

Newcastle and Spurs are also monitoring the situation closely, and are expected to initiate contact with Aina’s representatives in the coming weeks as they look to bolster their squads.

Nottingham Forest remain determined to keep hold of their defensive talisman. The club are in active negotiations to offer Aina a new long-term contract. However, with his current deal set to expire this summer, Forest face an uphill struggle to retain the player.

Given the volume of interest, Aina may feel the time is right to return to a club competing in European competitions. His future could hinge on how compelling Forest’s vision for the coming seasons proves to be.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are also monitoring Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong as an alternative option at right-back. But the Premier League-proven pedigree of Aina may give him the edge as Liverpool consider their next move in what is shaping up to be a critical summer.
