I think we all know he's older than 16

We know no such thing.

If you live in the UK and get on the bus at 15:45 you will probably see many black year 11 kids who look similar in age. He looks 16 to me, and more importantly, he is actually 16. Not every black player is faking their age, and especially not one born in France in 2001.
 

Arsenal have offered €142.5m for Mbappe but the player prefers Real Madrid move according to Onda Cero
 
Hurrah, we can afford to pay Rooney for another 6 months!
Everton already paid us 2/3 of Rooney's wage already. How about we just give them a discount to take the whole thing?:smirk:

Juventus continue to pursue Danilo and are attempting to negotiate Madrid's €30m demand to something lower.


By the time Real Madrid is done this summer, their net spending will be close to zero even if they buy Mbappe for 200 million bucks. They are squeezing some serious money out of clubs buying from them.

Selling James and Morata alone will cover Mbappe imo. Great business from their perspective.

The bigotry on this forum is unreal. I've spent the last few days coming across and replying to people making gross caricatures and stereotypes of Africans.

There is nothing more I can do than reporting this and if that doesn't work to stay away.

Too often on here, when race is mentioned or implied, there is always a sense of portraying Africans (or people of African descent) in a negative light.

Yeah I remember this topic being talked about in regards to Renato Sanches and it was pretty shitty then too

Can you point towards other instances of bigotry you've seen here ?

I'm sure there was another being discussed just the other day but can't remember who brought it up. May have been in this thread actually
 
Arsenal are planning a £70m double raid on Sporting Lisbon for William Carvalho and Gelson Martins, according to Portuguese publication A Bola.

Midfielder Carvalho, 25, was close to joining Manchester United in 2013/14, while 22-year-old Martins impressed last season at Sporting and can play as a winger or full-back.

The Gunners have already signed Sead Kolasinac from Schalke and are closing in on Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette.
 
That Aliou Traore looks about 32yrs old, I'd be doing serious digging into his birth certificate if I was us!

This is one. Obviously it is this poster's (hopefully exaggerated, otherwise he needs new glasses) opinion that the player looks 32 . However the reference to digging up the birth certificate is with regards to African football which used to have age cheating prevalent. However, this guy is French but black.

Isn't he making assumptions based on skin colour?
 
That article says we want Lukaku though. Why would we want him if we're apparently close to signing Morata?
