Women's Team - 2019/2020

appears to be.

Thanks BJL_City. That should make for an exciting watch as we would have four scorers of spectacular goals with Weir, Stanway and Houghton in the side already (and maybe 5 with Brinze).

Bronze is a great get, and Greenwood is going to leave us with two strong LB options.

Wonder how the United fans feel about there former captain signing for City?

why are the England players leaving Lyon? Why can we suddenly afford them after years of falling into the pack through losing players?

Fantastic news. Bronze is on another level, but I dont know much about Greenwood and Kelly tbh. Are they both good players?

Bronze has said she would like to win the Champions League with an English club.

Alex's style of play isn't necessarily in line with how the Lyon women's team want to play.

Don't know much about Kelly but Greenwood is a tough defender, has good pace and loves getting forward in the attack from what I have seen. Very good taking corner kicks as well.

Hope it pisses them off, but that is just me. :-)

Lucy Bronze resigning and Greenwood signing too from lyon. Chloe Kelly set to sign from Everton.

Just the 12 England players then.

Looks like the latter is the first to make it official.

Gemma Bonner contract extension announced

 

[bluesmith]

Just to get them to the end of the season, specifically the Champions League.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Lucy Staniforth sign too, unless the rags offer more.

Turns out United pay more at women's level too.

Rose Lavelle was one of the biggest stars of the 2019 World Cup so fingers crossed the offer is accepted.

I reckon the League must be easing the salary cap etc.

We seem to be doing more work to promote and attract the best players into the women’s game than the FA. Which is sad and also encouraging.

Rose Lavelle is a great player , so hopefully she signs up .

I think the FA were pitiful letting the WSL finish early.

City’s bid for Lavelle seems to be designed to tackle what i see as our biggest weakness, namely a lack of dynamism to drive the ball forward through the centre of midfield and turn defence into attack, faster.

My concern with the women’s is that it’s going to be controlled as much as the men’s game to promote the brand.

It’s started with PiGMOL taking on referee duties the next will be when the PL see there’s a market for it and takes its over from the FA. Lucy Oliver has been trained well by her hubby.

Yes she is just what we need. FWIW I also like footballers who look as if they’ve had the same hairstyle
since they were 9 like Dzeko.

She was absolutely fantastic during their games, fell in love with her performances with so much energy and skill on show.

Bronze returning would be huge.
