If I remember rightly she was in a relationship with a Scottish player early in her time in England, so she probably took on some of that accent as she became more fluent.

Seems like she already has the Mancunian accent

Will Roord be fit for the start of the season?Love this signing - the loss of Bunny for the final games effectively cost us the league. I'm trying to get my head around who is going to play next season as first choice front line once Bunny is fully fit. I can only assume Kelly is going to PSG because it would be a mistake to not give Mary Fowler, Jess Park and even Poppy Pritchard some game time.
Obviously this may change if there are any further signings...
Hemp - Bunny - Fowler/Miedema
Hasegawa - Roord - Blindkilda-Brown/Park
If Taylor is thinking of 4-3-3 this looks pretty good with Coombs and Pritchard in reserve in case of injuries I just can't see Kelly being a better option given her lack of goals per chances over the last year or so especially if we can get a decent fee for her.
Defensively I really hope we can keep hold of Alexandri because we will be struggling if we enter the year with Alex and Alanna as first choice centre backs. Rumours of us signing Shimizu will strengthen full back but we really need a ball playing centre back alongside Alex.
I think so given the mid / late Sept start - she seems to have been training at full tilt for a while. I think the extended rest will do her good. We def need her as it is vital we start well - this year could be one where you can only afford to lose 2 games to win the title.Will Roord be fit for the start of the season?

I think late Sept might be a little bit early but I hope we're no more than 1-2 months without her.
Everyone's different but I don't recall many pro footballers returning within 8 months. She looks to have made great progress every step of the way though so she'll hopefully be one of the ones that comes back early-ish and stays fit. Mead was out 11 months, Miedema 10 and Williamson 9.
Thankfully there's no need to rush things as we have great cover. Very excited to see if bring her back in at 10 or drop her a bit deeper given our forward options now.

I think we've all been wondering what's going on with Viv. Well now we know...
Good luck to her on her recovery.

Sad news, lets hope it's not her ACL again.

Missed these latest updates and didn't even realise she'd been injured. I thought we were just managing her minutes carefully. Bad news.
There's not a lot of detail, do we know if it's the same knee as last time?

No details from the club other than her having a knee op but this was Sky's report on the story:Missed these latest updates and didn't even realise she'd been injured. I thought we were just managing her minutes carefully. Bad news.

Vivianne Miedema successfully undergoes surgery on her left knee; it is the third operation Miedema has had on the same knee since she suffered a cruciate ligament tear during a Champions League match in December 2022.

Doesn't sound all that good, though hopefully it's just minor rather than anything too big. Can see why Arsenal were maybe unsure about keeping her though.

The City website now saying it was just a minor procedure to sort out a niggle.

Gareth Taylor says Vivianne Miedema’s recent surgery was a ‘minor procedure’ to correct a small issue the Dutch star has been struggling with.

Massive relief as it initially sounded like the club were being deliberately vague around this like they were with Shimizu.
The stop start nature of her career since the ACL means there are still major doubts for me as to whether she will ever find her way back to her peak, but I think she was always worth the gamble, especially given we have other options at number 10 meaning we never have to rush or over-rely on her

Saying that the expected recovery time for her hamstring injury is 8 to 10 weeks. Talking about possibly playing in the Nations League fixtures against Germany and Scotland. Think most City fans would rather you missed those Viv and concentrated on getting fully fit and resting up over the Summer instead.
Also goes on to talk about the need to reorganise the schedule to help protect players better in the future:

Our experience (women and men) this season, says she's spot on, too much is being asked of players.Also goes on to talk about the need to reorganise the schedule to help protect players better in the future
