City “strongly trying” to sign Beth Mead and Katie McCabe - The Athletic

From what i've read of McCabe, she's the female equivalent of that fella at Sunderland, Brobbey. Her strong point seems to be kicking people.

I hope not. Can't believe this is true.

 

[citizen_maine]

It seems very a strange decision/direction if true

 

[Blackley_Blue]

We've wanted Mead ever since we signed Viv (for obvious reasons). We tried in the summer and in January.

McCabe I can't stand. Really horrible dirty player who has a face like a smacked arse 100% of the time. - but we need a left back and she's probably one of those players you hate as an opposition fan but love if she's playing for you.

 

[Mon Autre]

Doesnt really make sense to me but if it's about bringing in experienced cover i dont mind.

Can see Kerolin or Fowler moving this summer and Mead might be deemed a low cost squad replacement.

McCabe has been a very good player but Arsenal seem to think her best days are behind her so id prefer us to aim higher. That said we might bring in 2 leftbacks so if a good young prospect came in at the same time could make a bit more sense.

Where does Mead fit in, or who leaves?

We have too many players on the right, and Bunny and Viv play every week at 9 and 10.... Unless......

I just have a nagging feeling we might cash in on Kerolin to help free up budget for a bunny contract renewal. Or potentially Fowler.

I sincerely hope this isn't true either.

I will be thoroughly disappointed if either of them turn up the Joie next season. We should be looking to the future and not Arsenal's past.

McCabe is an animal of an athlete, gives 100%, great leader and knows how to shithouse.

All day for me.

I’d play her with Coffey in CM in the big games. No **** getting a sniff against those two.

Agree 100%.

I absolutely love McCabe, she would be a massive fan favourite if she joined.

My youngest son was dropped from his primary school team for Beth Mead. We've never let him forget it

Her dad Richard played right wing for the Sunday team I ran,l one day he said he couldn't play any more as he had to take his daughter to play for Eston Tigers, From there she went to Sunderland then Arsenal

And she's Irish. What's not to like...?? :) :)

We got Viv when Arsenal thought her best days were behind her, and she's turned out fine.
McCabe I hate when she plays against us, so I'll probably enjoy seeing her playing in blue kicking the opposition.
Mead I think is past her best, but trust the club know what they are doing.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

I mentioned McCabe the other week and got shot down haha

 

[Lee the Blue]

With Mead being Miedema's partner, Id suggest that ones a shoe-in. McCabe is a dirty bastard through and through and an arsehole to play against. Get her in as well.

She'll be picking up the red cards she should have had with the Arsettes.

I know it's not an either or, but I'd much rather we concentrated on getting Bunny signed up.
