Something seriously wrong going on
Why should players of the ability of Hemp, Kelly, Walsh and Greenwood stay at City Women when we are losing so many top players? I'm not an expert on the women's game but I think Chelsea and Arsenal both have top international stars; why aren't they losing their best players abroad too?
7 fuck7 first team squad players gone. Another slow start to the season likely from which we won’t catch up.
Taylor?As a few other posters have mentioned - conversations with members of the womens team in town last season - gave an insight into an unhappy group. Maybe it is time to move a few on but can’t help thinking the major problem is still sat there.
I understand that, but are Arsenal or Chelsea losing their players like we are?The reason is money with a wage cap they can move on and make double or more.
Out of those who would you have kept ?7 fuck
Taieb
Bronze
Stanway
Weir
Scott
Who else?

So 8 including her, but she's been injured for most of 2 seasons.Bardsley's retired too.
We've also got loads of cover/alternatives to her anyway, even if we didn't want to lose her we still have Raso and Park who can play in the same position (unless we need an out of position right-back) and are second choice behind Kelly.The other is Beckie, a meh for me, but also likely on a much bigger pay day in the US.
Out of those who would you have kept ?
Taieb, was next to useless.
Bronze, well below her previous levels since injury, and 30.
Stanway, yes disappointing, but likely getting a far bigger payday due to our wage cap. .
Weir, also disappointing, but likely getting a far bigger payday due to our wage cap.
Scott, hasn't really been part of the fist team squad (except in emergency) for nearly 2 years, and been out on 2 loans.
The other is Beckie, a meh for me, but also likely on a much bigger pay day in the US.
Lets see who they bring in, with "deals close".
Fair enough can’t believe I forgot Beckie.. I am just a bit concerned so many outs and nowt coming in. … yet!Bardsley's retired too.
It's three regulars, one backup outfielder and two backup keepers so far.
How we getting to 8?So 8 including her, but she's been injured for most of 2 seasons.
Yes 7, sorry, I was adding 2 (Beckie and Bardsley) to the other post thinking it was already 6 without counting them (it was only 5).How we getting to 8?
I'd agree with all of this.Out of those who would you have kept ?

I'm sure we will, and we have some great players still, some of the best in the country.I hope that we will see more of Losada, Raso, Blakstad and Angledahl next year.
How we getting to 8?
Since the end of the season:
