    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    And if their development is entirely female despite this?

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    She is a normal woman... nothing would be significantly different about her development her whole life and she would experience no advantage from testosterone. You would identify her as a man even though her body wouldn't be able to use testosterone? How does that make any sense?

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    There are natural conditions where it's sometimes not as simple as that. Of course, nobody has confirmed what medical evaluations were done on her, but one example is androgen insensitivity syndrome (you are born with male chromosomes but your body is unresponsive to testosterone and can't use...

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    That boxer isn't a 'man', she has DSD of unknown etiology, but she has been a female her whole life and never transitioned or had any medical gender treatments. It's possible to have XY chromosomes and be born with female parts and have a normal female development, with some rare endocrine...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Part of the reason we trashed Madrid at that time is we had a frontline of 3 very fast and fit players who were constantly getting behind and causing Madrid real problems with their mobility.

    I just regret Dembele going tbh. Ok, people will post his goal stats in France and say hahaha, but the fact is he fit extremely well with the team and his qualities complimented the other players very well. I am sure that if Dembele stayed for another season Lewa would have done much better...

    Atlético Madrid

    The thing with Dovbyk shows how important patience is especially with attackers. His first good season was at 24 years old in Ukraine and only moved to a top5 league at 26 years old. He flopped in Denmark at 23. Then he moves to Spain at 26 and wins LaLiga golden boot in his first season here...

    Vitor Roque (loaned to Real Betis)

    I second this post. I think the outrage about him has been ridiculous and a bit manufactured. People built up a ton of negativity against him before his career here has even really started and now club is already desperate to move him somehow, when really what we've seen is nothing new anyway...

    Vitor Roque (loaned to Real Betis)

    I think people just decided they didn't like him from the start and regretted signing him shortly after doing it. The reality is he's a 19 year old striker from Brazil who has a physical playstyle. He was never going to be impact immediately and people should know this. He wasn't going to turn...

    20 - Dani Olmo

    The club can be more tactical. Players are more likely to leave if they see they'll be replaced or won't play much. It becomes impossible to plan for the future or move these old players along if you get them in as stopgaps and dont replace. Wasn't aware club were interested in selling him...

    20 - Dani Olmo

    As with Lewandowski he was given a very high wage... hard to move old players like that. Lessons of the past haven't been learned.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    The hysterics around the sale of Gundogan is exactly why we don't progress at the club. Nobody at the club seems to have a business mindset. You get an aging player for free, he has a good first season, then you can flip him for a massive profit as he declines... no good CEO is saying no to...

    Nice to see Jam Dav back. He is one of the best posters here.

    2024/25 Preseason

    If Pau Victor moves up to the first team and does well, it is one of the ultra rare occasions where a signing specifically for the B team makes it to the first team. We had a lot of these B 'striker' signings like Jutgla, Manaj etc but Victor would be the first one to really succeed in the...

    Manchester United

    They weren't saved... it was offside and that's the rule. A marginal offside is still not a legal goal and not lucky to have that ruled out.

    Manchester United

    They weren't lucky in either of the cups they won and won last one against City whilst outplaying them.

    Nico Williams

    It's more a question of profiles rather than of quality. We need a winger who can give the team width and 1v1s and Nico even if flawed does that very well. Things clicked better with Dembele for that reason. Even though he isn't an amazing player he had specific qualities that helped that...

    Nico Williams

    We should be able to finish a competitive 2nd with the current squad. Even though we've made no signings as others have mentioned the squad if mostly fit for the season is still very good and capable to beat all teams (even Madrid if we have some luck). Then if we manage to add one top player...

    Nico Williams

    As others have mentioned here it's probably better to sign nobody if it means that in a few years we can go back to the market with our house in order. Scraping together pennies to sign players every window and desperately raising funding through questionable decisions can't go on forever...

    Nico Williams

    If we fail to sign anyone, would any of you mind Depay returning on a short term deal, hypothetically assuming he stays fit? He has a good goal record since moving to Spain and as long as he isn't too prominent can be useful as we've seen sometimes. The only question would be the injuries.
