What do we make of Chelsea? Signing Walsh for half a million and another world record transfer. There’s obviously no PSR or FFP in women’s football so do the authorities just let Chelsea buy who they want and just ruin the women’s game in England? Or is it up to the likes of City, Arsenal and Utd to match their spending to be competitive? Walsh going there has disappointed me greatly if I’m honest.

Hardly a surprise really given who her partner is, I'll be interested to see how much she plays, but I think City had her best years. Seemd a bit of ridiculous fee, when she could have joined for nothing in the summer.

I thought that Bronze and her were no longer " an item " ?

Haven't they ruined the game already....is it 8 titles on the bounce?

They are the living and breathing 'might as well be Celtic ' but, they're not our men's team so apparently it's great for the game.
 
The WSL have a huge problem here.
They have allowed this to happen so I don't blame Chelsea. They want to challenge on all 4 fronts so need a big squad to do it. There have been no spending limits or seemingly squad limitations (number of foreign players) put in place so it follows that much will have more. They seem to have gone down the brick shithouse and superstar route.
They are at risk however of killing the golden goose before she's had a chance to build a nest.
Fans will fuck off if Chelsea win it every year and there is insufficient competition, yet not a fucking peep out of the "concerned" about an English farmers league media as they appeared to be when City won 4 in a row. Why do we think that is?

Crossways with Wrighty and Steph

It has clearly been an unlevel playing field for years with Chelsea being way out in front of the rest.

And the media have never picked up on it, always preferring to lavish praise on the set-up and management ( rightly so imo ) without ever bothering to discuss the merits of the imbalance amongst the following pack.

Can't see anything likely to change in the near future either personally.
