Full article translated supposedly says the following;

It's no secret that Djurgården's goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterström, 26, is on his way to Derby and after the 2-1 victory against Elfsborg last week, he hurried to England.

Then "JWZ" was back between the posts when Djurgården fell 1-0 against Progres Niedercorn on Thursday and he was also in the starting eleven in the meeting with IFK Göteborg on Sunday.

What is delaying and getting the deal done? Bosse Andersson, sports manager at Djurgården, explains how the situation is:

- Negotiations have been going on for a couple of weeks and when there is a transfer, there are discussions between the clubs. Jacob has had a fantastic spring and has been an important player during the summer. Then it is clear that they have discussed when the transition will take place and the conditions. We agree on the terms and the question is when he will leave. We want him to leave after our European Cup game, no later than August 29. Partly because we will have time to find a replacement, partly because we have a need to have Scandinavia's best goalkeeper when we are in an important part of the season with the Allsvenskan and games in Europe.

Andersson continues:

- Then the Championship starts on Friday for Derby. Jacob has been on site and had a medical examination and met the club. What we don't quite agree on is when the transition should take place. We are planning for Jacob to play today (against IFK Gothenburg, Sunday) and he will play the European Cup matches against Tampere (Ilves). That is the dialogue we have. The transition will certainly happen, but not tomorrow. It will happen later and that is what we are discussing. A club waiting for something good will have to wait a bit.

Expressen has previously stated that Djurgården is in agreement with Derby regarding a price tag of around SEK 20 million plus bonuses.

On Thursday, Djurgården face Ilves in the qualifiers for the Europa Conference League with the return match the following week. Derby kick off the Championship season by taking on Blackburn on Friday.

 

EDIT - it’s translated through a popular online search engine, maybe don’t take the quotes literally as it could be lost in translation. 

Lol.

Who does our contract negotiating?

The first thing Barker did was get Bury promoted. Granted he was sacked from the jobs after that after poor runs of form, but no worse than anything Warne (or any other manager) produces. Every manager is at the mercy of a chairman  and many of them have itchy trigger fingers. Warne's worked under two very forgiving and patient chairmen.

Besides I'm talking present day - not 8 to 12 years ago - of the now well established management trio at the helm and all of the history behind them that leads to them being a good team.

I remain to be convinced. But it's a mute point as they are all obviously part of 'the team', not likely to want to seperate.

Tom cannon on loan from Leicester could be a good shout?

Bang on!

Whilst only half listening to RD commo on the preseason friendly yesterday there was some talk about Warne and the fitness coach. Have we appointed a new one or something?

I needed a good laugh this morning and seeing Warne described as a master tactician has provided that, so thanks guys!

I think the coaches he surrounds himself with are very good and they clearly work well together as a team, with his personality placing him as the public face of it all, but I get a strong impression that Barker/Hamshaw would do better without Warne than Warne would do without Barker/Hamshaw.

As with everything Warne, the measure of his abilities will be in how we do at Championship level, not how we've done in League One. 

Do well this season and I'll maybe start to believe he's the brains behind the operation, or at least that his tactics actually have some depth to them.

Barkers past managerial career wouldn't suggest that? Nor Hamshaw's coaching career.

🙂

Because they’ve already spent an absolute fortune. PSR rules aren’t in play in league one. Their owners are loaded. 

So the only place you can't spend money like water in football is the Championship? Unless you've parachute payments that is.

You forgot to mention McClown in that list with all the others that failed to take us anywhere. 

 

The ex-Derby player and the ex-Derby manager twice? Who also helped out when we were in admin? Big respect from you. 👍

I can't tell you David said so.

Didn't think the goal was all to be pinned on Cash, there was poor play before and after he dived in and then lost it.

We regularly overestimate the quality of our squad.

I said at the back end of last season that the current squad would come straight back down.

Who have we added since then? Not a lot IMO. 

We need another 5 or so decent additions.

That’s why I said if Warne can get us above 16th with what we currently have, that would astonishing.

Plenty of time left in the window. But as I see it, we are in for a season of struggle.

Right, got ya. 

Has he signed or not?

I expect bottom 8 given the lack of signings and other things considering.

I feel Warne will have done a good job if he can have us near to the top of the latter third. Anything above 16th right now and he deserves great respect.

That makes no sense. We have (again) a good budget and we are a good 'draw' as a club. We saw the players that can be attracted to the Club when Rooney/Rosenior signed players, so why would anything above 16th be good? Edit: unless you mean top 6? 😄

There's not much clarity because a lot of the information is confidential medical information that isn't public, and much of the information is from the IBA who are so corrupt that the IOC completely stopped working with them a few years back (which they've never ever done with any other sports governing body).

What is known as fact is that both the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and the Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting were recognised as female at birth and have lived their lives as women/girls. This would strongly suggest that they have external female phenotypical features, e.g. genitalia. They are and have always been legally female, so this isn't a transgender issue, they identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.

Both boxers were found by the IBA to have failed sex tests at other championships. While it hasn't actually been explicitly said by the IBA (at least not in official communications) that the issue is that the boxers have XY ("male") chromosome makeup, that's what the general assumption is. Assuming this is the case, I think this doctor gives a very good summary as to what this would actually mean:

I'll try to summarise this quickly if anyone doesn't want to watch the whole thing (though I do highly recommend it; he's done a better job of explaining it for the layman than anyone else I've seen).

Essentially, in the early stages of fetal development, everyone follows a "female" development up to a certain point. At this point, genes in the Y chromosome in males will "kick in", so XY individuals usually develop absolutely male characteristics and XX individuals usually develop absolutely female characteristics. In some cases, however, the genes in the Y chromosomes don't "kick in" like they're supposed to. In this case, the individual may be born with outward characteristics (phenotype) that we identify as being more characteristically female, i.e. the genitalia (both internal and external) and secondary sexual characteristics (hair growth, body shape, etc.). This is what is suggested (but not outright stated) to have happened here, that both of the boxers have XY chromosome makeups, but have developed a phenotype that we would identify as female. But it's hard to talk about it in any greater detail than that, because individual cases can be very different.

Now, I do think that there's absolutely a place for discussion about where the limits for sex/gender should be set in sports. Part of the issue is that, while it's true that the vast majority of people fall neat into ideas of "male" and "female" sex, sex evidently isn't always an absolute binary in practice, and can seem like more of a spectrum when talking about intersex people. There isn't an easy answer to these questions because the system of sex segregation was created without really acknowledging this.

Personally, I just wish that this conversation could be had without resorting to the cruel and degrading rhetoric about two women who frankly don't deserve it.

No wonder we can't find a striker.  There would be moans if we loaned him back never mind paid a modest fee for him.  Are they sure they have the decimal point in the right place?

He's just about to turn 21. He looks like he's got plenty of talent and maybe just needs a decent club to play for. So even if he bombs at Newcastle they only need to loan him out a couple of times and sell him on and they'll have lost little or made money. It's easy init.

I think christmas is a good time to have a look! If were rock bottom and 12 points adrift, then "he gotta go" (in tony sopranos acsent) otherwise we gotta stick with him imo! No matter what the playing style! There will always be arguement and opinion back and forth about him and rightly so!

One thing i dont see mentioned a lot though, is he is a young manager! 8 years as a manager i think and were his second club! 
 

Its not impossible to think he will grow and adapt as a manager with us! He had a proven way to get out of league one which he stuck too! With a bigger budget with us he might start to adapt his philosy and playing style in the championship! You never know! Hes young for a manager and is still learning, youd hope hes adaptable!

Up the Rams 🐏⚽️🐏⚽️

He's 51. Agreed that's not Warnock's age but he's not spring chicken. 😄

Surely you can understand that it has been a stop start beginning to his career at derby and the fact that he's being played out of position with no consistent run in the team is definitely not helping things. There is a quality attacker in that man, we just haven't see it properly yet because for some reason he's been drafted in for wing back. 

He's the new Sibley, was going to be Tommo for a while. 😄
