I can see yer point, Bigga, but Zinky wasn't our top scorer. Georgia was, and I should imagine that if yer banging in goals and that's a great motivator to bang in a few more, experimenting at full back is just one step away from playing her in goal. I shall see what Bayern do with her, and where they play her. I don't expect her to start a game at full back. Beckie was also shoved in as a make shift full back. It doesn't do much to develop their game. I'd really like to hear why Georgia called it a day!

I'd love to know her reasons for leaving too. I can understand those at the end of their career wanting something different like Weir but when it's a young international player it's harder to fathom.

She probably wants a chance to win the CL, there appears little prospect of that playing in England at the moment, hence why Bronze, Duggan, Christiansen, and Parris all did the same at similar ages.

I'm pretty sure playing Georgia at full back was out of necessity rather than experimenting

Alright, kidda.

I understand your point, but Stanway played a position we were short in because of injuries! We, both, saw how the season panned out.

Again, the men filled in with similar problems in their team. I'm not convinced there was an attempt to convert Stanway to that position, as she didn't have the awareness for the role, although she did her best.

I don't recall her getting carded or sent off, so that impressed me!

She's been 'away from home' for some years so she appears to be someone who can cope with the challenge her latest move brings. It's just bloody annoying that one of our best is off. It's like waking up one morning and finding Bernardo's gone, or Mahrez! And a host of others.
 
Would love to know why (apart from Jill and Steph) any of the women dont stick around too long. It would also seem that we have a policy of British only (in the main) and Chelsea and Arsenal don't, as much. I know Stanway is a Barrow girl so no need to portray her as a big City fan, but maybe the girls need to chase the money (fair enough) as the career is shorter and no where near as lucrative as the mens. Hope the keeper isn't next.

Those that go, go abroad and come back to the UK after. There have been some strange ones. The two yanks obviously were not going to stay, but the third Dalkemper, who surprisingly signed a longer deal, left before the end of her contract. Just seems a few strange goings on. imho,
 
If all these outward transfers come to pass that's a great fullback and our entire first choice midfield gone. The women's team would struggle to compete next season. It's like the men's team losing Cancelo, De Bruyne, Bernardo and Rodri.

There’s big moves afoot which either points to a group of unhappy players - and there were signs last season that all was not well in the camp - and lots of players have decided to walk. OR City have decided that group of players have gone as far as they can and we need to shake it up… and we have facilitated the departures. I‘d assume for a variety of reasons like injury and loss of form but - faced with a salary cap - we had a lot of bigger earners sat on the bench or in the stands (Houghton/ White / Kelly) last season and we really need our bigger earners on the pitch a la Chelsea / Arsenal. My genuine concern is that to make progress we probably need to bring in some technically better overseas players but Taylor doesn’t seem able to use foreign players - so not sure where the Women’s squad goes from here ?
 
Following the FA Cup defeat Gareth Taylor said “We’ve got young talent coming through so the future’s bright.”
The MCWFC Academy has Jayne Ludlow as technical director. The Development Squad play in the FA WSL Academy League Northern Division.
The info that I’ve been able to glean from the FA site reveals that the season just ended (March 2022) saw our Womens team finish 6th out of 7.
P 20 W 5 D1 L14 Pts16. The title was won by the Ragettes ….
P 20 W16 D1 L 3 Pts50…………..
Doesn’t look like a conveyer belt of talent coming through to me !!
Any Bluemooners have more info about the Development Squad??

The Player of the season is Lauren Hemp, to not even make the top 6 is an utter fix, she is quite possibly the best winger in the damned league.

Chesting cunts.

Their selection makes no attempt to conceal their bias and total lack of credibility.

Absolutely shameless .

This must be a concern with the potential losses of current players linked with transfers to other clubs.

It is to be hoped that significant funds are being made available to bring in quality replacements.

Can't see Chelsea or Arsenal being overly worried as things stand.

Do people think the wage cap is good ?

Seems to me the best players are moving abroad for better wages, which can blame them.

Depends how serious the FA is about growing the women's game together with how important respective clubs feel about building up the quality of their squads.

I am concerned at the way the club appears to be going at present and how committed it is to bringing in quality to replace the players moving on.

It's pretty obvious that Chelsea are managing to bring in top players and do not appear to be losing players, so how are they managing to do that ?

Arsenal are another team that don't appear to be affected but I really have no idea about wages across the teams.
