Please City go and get Freya Godfrey from LCL, fantastic young talent she'd tear it up here. I'd take Fernandez at Left back too, she's so quick and has a great cross.
I want a taller more dominant keeper. Yamashita a great stopper but she's hopeless on crosses, just not big enough.
Any others?
 
Think Godfrey's having a great season but is she better than Beney, Fujino, Kerolin or Fowler? Can't see she'd get much of a look in at City. Arsenal must be kicking themselves though. They let Godfrey leave and signed our fourth choice right winger in Chloe Kelly. With Mead's best days behind her too you'd have thought there was an opportunity for Godfrey there.

As for other WSL players id take. I really like Yama and i'd still love to see Keating fulfil her potential. But realistically, i wouldnt say no to Hampton. Tullis Joyce at United has done really well since Earps left too.

Obvs still need a LB but i dont think there are any standout players in that position in the WSL so we'll just have to see who Therese surprises us with in Summer.

She’s a very good keeper. She proved that against us in our home match this season, if she wasn’t in fine form, we would have had two or three more, if I remember.

I've watched her every chance I could this year and have been very impressed. Much as I rate Beney (and to be fair she's still developing) and Aubas technically good but very lightweight, Godfrey is technically better than both, bigger, stronger and faster too. If it came down to it I'd swap either and it'd be an upgrade, not sure if Michelle Kang will part with her though.
I'd have Earps from PSG in a heartbeat as well as there's no chance Tullis Joyce or Hampton will be allowed to leave their respective clubs unless there's a big fall out.
How about Niamh Charles for Left back, seems to have had her nose pushed out at Chelsea by Baltimore and now Buurman? England International and getting splinters in her arse at Chelsea?
 
Yeah, Park was good. I was disappointed we traded her for Clinton. Why exactly did we do that? Anyone know?
Park wasn't playing often in her preferred position for us. She was often shoe-horned into wide or deeper roles with less freedom. We had good options in all our forward positions but needed a more dedicated central midfield presence. Although it wasn't classed as a swap deal it made sense for her to go where she did and for Clinton to come to us. Was unfortunate for Grace that she picked up an injury which curtailed her start with us while Jess has hit the ground running for that lot.

Earps is fully in her flop era now. Not been v good for PSG and consistently making a tit of herself in a very public way. Cant imagine any of our lioness contingent would be thrilled to have her around either.

Charles would be an upgrade on current options but i dont think shes at the level we should aspire to either. I think it says a lot that England have been crying out for a LB for years now and she still hasnt made the position her. Also hasnt established herself at Chelsea fully either. Kett at Bayern Munich looks a player or Selma Bacha would be the dream signing but it wouldnt surprise me if its a lesser known up and coming player we go for.

Love to see Kett at City was talking about her at the Sheffield game,only 21/22 years old. Be interested to see how Leitig the Leicester goalie would be ,started off great but seems to have lost her place. please anybody but Mary shite Earp's

Godfrey and Bene are only about a year apart in age. One could argue Godfrey is still developing also. That said, there's no guarantee Godfrey will always be the better player or that Bene ever surpasses her.
 
You can only go off what you see. Its only my opinion but i think Godfrey is currently a better player and has a higher ceiling.

Jeglertz hasn't given Beney a lot of minutes when Auba has been fit either, which says a lot for where he thinks she ranks right now.

Be interesting now the Japanese contingent has gone to the Asia Cup if she gets in the side but I suspect its Hempo and Kerolin starting.

Beney may get some action in the FA Cup games, but she's a full Swiss Imternational so can't see her being happy wirh her game time at the moment for her development or her well being.

Contrastingly Godfrey starts week in, week out and is in her first England squad. I honestly think she gets a big move this summer and we should be in for her.

On left backs, Karchoui always impresses me if Charles won't do but I don't think we have a chance of signing her. I suspect Ouhabi leaves this summer too so the matter will need some serious attention by the transfer team then.

I think Beney might have hoped for more minutes than she's had but i cant believe that at 18 years old and with Kerolin, Fowler and Fujino already at the club that she'd have expected more than squad role at this stage of her career. She seems a pretty smart and grounded player and getting a move to a top WSL club and with the facilities we have will have been seen as a great opportunity for her.

Like i say, i agree with you that Godfrey is a real player but i cant see her moving right now. None of the current top 4 will guarantee her more minutes than she's currently getting at LCL and LCL dont need the money. If any club is set to break into the top 4 over the next few years it looks most likely to be LCL so she's in a great position really.
