This is like how every summer MD kept saying how Umtiti has recorded his best physical performance ever in preseason tests.

That isn't exactly clear for me either. She isn't particularly muscular or built and I have seen much more muscular biological women and furthermore much more muscular female boxers. Her build looks very standard for a female boxer. It's only her face that you could argue seems kind of...

I'm not saying you are necessarily wrong. She could benefit from it. I'm saying we haven't been provided near enough medical information to comment and its not entirely clear if she is really such an incredibly powerful boxer.

That is where the debate is... it still isn't clear to me she is some super powerful force given she has already lost 9 times in her amateur career. Its unclear if this gives her any advantage but if it doesn't give any hormonal advantage I don't think you can prohibit from gender divided sport...

If you would read my responses in full you would read that I gave an example of a condition where XY people are completely unresponsive to testosterone. So people with that condition (I'm not saying she does or doesn't have it) would not experience any advantage as they can't use the elevated...

And if their development is entirely female despite this?

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.
