He definitely has weaknesses and I feel like spending so long in United has limited him from learning better footballing habits. He would need adaptation to play in a more possession focused side. He's been playing basically only on the counter for many years and isn't playing with players that...

It could also be that a fresh start in a better side is what pushes him further. He has been in a quite dysfunctional club and for what it's worth been one of their best players over time. If it was a low cost deal I would be totally down to sign him.

I think this is because of style rather than because of the players themselves. I think Rashford could absolutely be part of a top side where he has other players that fill in his flaws maybe such as not participating enough in possession or creativity etc. The problem is United are wholly a...

I get what Jammy is saying that he would rather take a risk and hope that Rashford feels good this season rather than get above average or mediocre play from Raphinha. Rashford is not world class in general but at his best level he can be a serious game changer and counter attack practically by...

It depends what the cause is but I've always been a believer that almost anybody can be hugely physically improved. There are just really diverse reasons why someone would move slow and all of them have to be investigated. In some few cases it could be there is an absolute genetic limitation but...

Good for him... he can go off to Saudi Arabia then as already proven everything at the top level and doesn't need to anymore.

I would try loaning Kalvin Phillips.

I don't think his style suits the players, let's say. A lot of these players are barely capable to run let alone play vertical football.

It's a shame because I'm not really sure what we were expecting. He's a teenage striker with a physical playstyle, he was never going to be a star player instantly. This reaction from the club is strange, maybe he is really terrible in trainings or something. He also scored far more than...

We need legs in this team. Too many slow and leggy players in this team and just getting overrun by physical teams. We also need to buy a decent DM urgently with whatever money is available. Bernal is clearly not ready to play in the first team even if he makes such a mistake once, it's so...

So what would that make someone with this syndrome then? A man without testosterone and with female genitalia?

I don't think anyone is disputing she should be banned if she has a penis. That is not in dispute and nobody is arguing that. We don't know exactly the details of it but I can assure you nobody is arguing she should be allowed to compete with male genitalia and she doesn't have any.

So now you can be born with a vagina and not be a woman... interesting.

Not hugely muscular really, not even close to the peak women athletes like Serena Williams. I do find it odd how both the athletes the IBA accused won gold though. Seems like a big coincidence. We need more information and to know what exactly the test results were.

If we were truly close to bankruptcy, we wouldn't have been able to hold on to all of our top talents. We haven't sold a single one or even tried to which tells me the situation was never at a desperate point. Bad certainly but if it was never bad enough to necessitate selling our top talents...

If you want to cancel his contract you would have to pay it out in full, so we wouldn't make savings and would be losing him for 2 years for no gain, we'd also likely cause backlash from the players and the fans and could face legal action. Even if he won't renew I think it's fine to keep...

Yeah, analysing how good a player is is really different to how enjoyable they are to watch. In fact, whilst it's really effective, a lot of top level football is just mechanical, physical battling, pass and move and mostly running. Football definitely lost some glamour with the advent of the...

Well, looking at Puig, I don't see that much, in my opinion. It goes without saying he is physically poor but I don't think his tactical and positional understanding is very good either. He doesn't defend and at times when he played for Barca he was all over the place and couldn't hold his...

This was against Bilbao ahahaha, I literally remember the exact moment you're talking about as I was like wtf when I watched that sequence and went to write a post in this thread. I can legit see that exact moment in my head lol, I was watching it whilst travelling and I remember being shocked...

I agree it won't happen in reality mainly because he wants to keep his contract and doesn't want to leave. Equally as Porque said he's on good wages with a contract till 2027, he may not want to give that up to take a wage drop to play at somewhere like West Ham for example. But I think if he...
