There's been rumours about Shaw to PSG and specific denials from City, and rumours of Walsh going somewhere (though I've only seen Madrid linked specifically). Neither of them have actually left though unlike the rest of those names.Isn't Shaw off to PSG and i would assume Walsh will follow Bronze to the US?

Deyna Castellanos 23 Venezuelan Foward
Atlético Madrid & Venezuela.
Laia Aleixandri 21 Spanish Centre Back
Atlético Madrid & Spain In January 2020, named by UEFA as one of the 10 most promising young players in Europe.
Leila Ouahabi 29 Spanish Left Back
Barcelona & Spain Widely regarded as one of the best female left-back players in the world.
Centre-back Aleixandri started out with FC Barcelona, featuring for their B Team at senior level, before moving to Atlético Madrid in 2017. The player has made close to 150 appearances for The Red and Whites, winning two Primera División titles and the Supercopa de España. Aleixandri has played UEFA Women’s Champions League football in each of the last four seasons and on the international stage, the player has a handful of senior caps to her name for the Spanish national team.
Venezuelan international forward Castellanos has spent her entire senior career to date with Atlético Madrid after joining the club from American college side Florida State Seminoles. Like Aleixandri, Castellanos has also lifted the Supercopa de España with Atlético Madrid while she has made more than 70 appearances for the Spanish outfit in the last three seasons.
Barclays FA Women’s Super League club Manchester City will be busy in the transfer market this summer after losing several of their out of contract players. Aleixandri and Castellanos would certainly get the fans excited if their rumoured moves to The Academy Stadium become a reality..

It could simply be down to the injuries she had, I don't think she's been anywhere near the levels she was at in her previous time here, or before she had the injury this time round, she'd played pretty much every game since she returned from injury.Very clearly not happy

Castellanos is a really good finisher, she also has scored many long range efforts, a definite upgrade and young too - It will be interesting to see what will happens to White and Shaw in the coming weeks, can't see them keeping them all as well as Chloe. Hopefully these signings will appease some who think the club are not investing into the women's game.Interesting.. I don’t know enough about any of them to know if they will improve us or not.

Taylor will probably keep them on the bench ! So it may take a while. How often did Raso come on look great and then find herself on the bench for the next game?

Think Raso will see a lot more game time next season & Don’t see how he could seeing the amount of players that have left & Are possibly leaving.

Not sure about this, Raso looks good but I'm sure she'll be behind Chloe Kelly for that right-sided forward position. Not sure if she could play somewhere else (RB now?) but out of the whole team, Hemp and Kelly are possibly the most certain starters when fit.

You’re right Forgot about our Chloe (So pleased she’s back after all she went through) & Personally would like to see us have a more renowned Manager

Think she did spend a bit of time at full-back for Everton before she joined us so it's a possibility that she could be used as, at least, backup to Esme Morgan who, unless we sign a specialist, remains our only option in that spot.Not sure about this, Raso looks good but I'm sure she'll be behind Chloe Kelly for that right-sided forward position.

I did not see the exit door happening for some city players this summer, and the squad looks thin as of now
but city must have plans in place and new signings happening, so maybe it's better to get the players out first and then pick up new players.
The owners will keep investing in women's football I have no doubt and I don't see why city will have another hard season like last season when we were hit by long term injuries to key players,
now for the manager, I was talking early to mid-season that there were a feeling around the club and the manager was under pressure and result was not happening, and a change was on the cards ? The only thing was that injury list saving his job and again the club was spot on in standing by him
big season coming up for both players and manager
and look out for Lauren Hemp, i think she is the best player in the whole league and has something special about her

Ouahabi is an odd signing. We already have one of the best female left backs in the world at the club. Unfortunately, she is playing CB for us in many matches. We also have Demi Stokes. Maybe Stokes is leaving? If she were, I'd move Greenwood back go her natural position and get a CB. Ouahabi signing seems to be a waste when we have other needs.Deyna Castellanos 23 Venezuelan Foward

If she thinks City is a basket case wait till she joins PSG.Isn't Shaw off to PSG and i would assume Walsh will follow Bronze to the US?
Players fucking their sporting director. Another one trying to get a fellow player killed. It's one big soap opera in comparison.
Greenwood's been brilliant at centre-back all season to be fair, if Ouahabi is available it makes more sense to sign her as first choice or cover and keep Greenwood where she is, rather than going looking for another centre-back who might not fit in as well.Ouahabi is an odd signing.

Doesn't seem to be affecting Chelsea or Arsenal the same way.While women`s football in this country is hobbled by the wage cap we will struggle to hang on to the very best players

I see your point. That said, Ouhabi may not fit in either. That is the chance you take bringing anyone in to a club. Therefore, saying a new CB may not fit in so keep Greenwood there really doesn't help your argument. It sounds good until you consider it carefully.Greenwood's been brilliant at centre-back all season to be fair, if Ouahabi is available it makes more sense to sign her as first choice or cover and keep Greenwood where she is, rather than going looking for another centre-back who might not fit in as well.

Greenwood is a good CB. She is a great LB. She played CB out of necessity for the the most part last season. If would hope the club has spoken with her about bringing in another to play her position. And before everyone says "Of course they have," it would not surprise me if it hadn't been done.
