There’s FFP to consider and of course Jan/next summer. Whilst there’s a lot of podcasters/YouTubers that fancy us to push automatics, I just don’t think we’ll be ready for that this season. There’s still gaps in the depth we have and positions that can be improved. We’ll see just where Eccles...

He’s a good player and will do well at Athletico. Suited Potch’s style v well, less so how Enzo wants to play. It’s really good to see English players actually go abroad to play football in major European leagues. We need more of it!

Experienced CB for me, that’s probably the difference between us making playoffs and not last season. Too many dropped points from winning/drawing positions that probably don’t happen if someone like McFadz could cope in a 4-2-3-1. That’s a higher priority than a backup to RB, MVE has proven...

It’s the circle of life. Established Prem team comes in and signs our best player. At £15-20m you can’t complain because it balances our books and we can complete our remaining business this summer. With that extra money, we can probably look to bring in a 1-2 additional players we probably...

I don’t think we’re signing anyone even close to Hillßber’s quality! Given the Stamenic transfer was supposedly £4m, it’s reasonable to reckon we’re looking at players for similar sums. £2m loan fee without an option to make it permanent is too much for me. A lot of the promoted clubs did use...

As it should be. 3 years left on his contract and scored 16 goals, 7 assist from the wing. We got £24m (with the add-ons) and a 10% kickback for Gyokeres with 12 months left on his contract.

Robins did say everyone is ready to go for Stoke and Wright made an instant impact v Breman. His preseason with us has been short but given he was at the Copa America, his fitness levels should be there to start if Robins wants him too.

Are Leeds actually in a better position than they were last season? The same question could be asked of Burnley and Luton. When we complete our transfer business, we’ll be capable of finishing in the top 4, in my view. Simms and Wright should get over 17 league goals each and they’ll be...

All of those players will be loaned out. Even Tavares needs game time and if he can prove himself at L1, he may earn a new contract with us. Our younger players definitely had a good preseason and they’ll be in the shop window in the loan market.

I don’t know too much about him, apparently his movement is really good without being rapid.

Apparently Werder Bremen are streaming it but it’s not clear if it’s free view or not yet.

Not quite, because intersex people have sexual characteristics (such as sexual organs) genitalia that are both male and female but their biological coding will still be dictated by the makeup of their chromosomes. By contrast, biological men and women will have XY or XX chromosomes and the...

It’s not an AM position in a 4-3-3, it’s a tactically more disciplined position the AM role he played in a 4-2-3-1. Generally, I feel he’ll mostly play either LW (4-3-3) or AM in a 4-2-3-1 if we switch things up. Unless he has a standout season, Palmer will likely leave as a free agent in the...

I agree with you both, the order/priority of signings is where I differ. In terms of priority, Robins is most likely wanting to sign a CM next and a CB after that. Why? We missed out on Stamenic and a ‘star’ CM is clearly still wanted. As for CB, it’s an area there are likely to be good...

Yes and such a condition is called Swyer syndrome.

The defence is the same isn’t it? Robins will try to get an experienced CB in there and we tried last season too. That’s more important than a RB because Lati will do a good job there in any MVE absences.

Splitting hairs over a wrong acronym - the IBA tested these athletes and banned them from competing. Since you said ‘basic facts’ were wrong, these athletes failed a gender test and IOC has let them compete. The failed test is the basic fact here, not what governing body issued it. You know...

As you understand it, what is the ‘basic facts?’

100% - there should be separate categories, it’s not fair on the athletes. The biological women who have to compete against people with a biological advantage as well as the athletes at the centre of these storms. It’s not an issue in male sports because intersex men with XX chromosomes or...

Well, not if you have XY chromosomes. Ironically, the trans lobby used the existence of intersex people to peddle the idea that biological sex wasn’t binary. Biologically, the athlete in question has XY chromosomes and is therefore biologically male. With intersex people they have sex organs...
