It was the right thing to let her go. We simply have better performers in her position. Kerolin, Fujino and Fowler are all excellent options in her position and all bring different qualities too.
To be fair, she got more game time than I expected she would at Arsenal but I think a lot of that was down to Mead struggling for form too. I would be genuinely surprised if she ended up being a regular starter for them. Especially now OIivia Smith has arrived.
At her best she's a really good player but she is inconsistent and her decision making isn't always great. She's proven herself as a very effective tournament player though who is able to make an impact off the bench. Let's not forget that even as good as she is, she has never been a regular starter for England under Wiegman either.
Im not disappointed that she left Im just disappointed at how nasty the situation turned. It's a shame because I really like Kelly. She clearly absolutely loves football. She loves playing and she loves watching it. She's a great entertainer, she enjoys the pressure and she brings a lot of personality to the table (which is important in a sport that people sometimes complain feels too "family friendly" and sanitised). Whatever happened at City, she was clearly well liked by her team mates and many of our own players have been supportive of what she's said since leaving City. People might accuse her of playing "the mental health card" but the situation at City clearly did start to take it's toll and she isn't the first player to have similarly struggled at City thanks to Taylor's lack of people management skills.
