A lot depends on the ability of the new signings to hit the ground running. They appear to be quality players. My biggest doubt is Gareth Taylor and his consistent failure to get the best out of players.
The players that most concern me are Ellen White and Alannah Kennedy - have just not been good enough - and should be moved out. Looking forward to Esme Morgan getting back after injury and having a good season.
Another potential issue is goalkeeper- are we going to have that old England pattern of Shilton and Clemence getting games in turn?? Sandy MacIver is far too good a goalkeeper to sit on the bench all season watching Ellie Roebuck in goal every match. Khiara Keating also deserves opportunities.
I have a feeling that our best signings will be Aleixandri, Castellanos and Fowler.
 
Kennedy was actually better than i expecred, but only because i expected very little! With all the injuries we desperately needed a centreback and its obviously difficult to get one just like that, so i thought she'd be useless. She isnt, but we need better in terms of the starting lineup.

A lot of changes. Im reassurred by the signings in that they do still show we have ambition, but im unsure how it'll all fit together.

Would still expect White or Shaw to leave considering the new forwards and the goalkeeping situation is crazily strong, so thatll be interesting. I do wonder if Ellie intends to leave either now or in a year and we're getting a replacement in early. Hope not, but we'll need to do well in the Cups to make sure theres enough games to share out. Beating Real Madrid in the Champions League would be huge.

Not sure about Aleixandri. She's a footballer, but im not sure if she is good enough in any one specific position to be a first choice. We'll see though.
 
Excellent. I was wondering if we were going to go for a new right-back and after Maya Le Tissier went to United i felt we'd missed out. Casparij has looked decent in the Euros.
 
Seems like the end of an era for the Womens Team. Can’t ever see them providing so many players to the Lionesses again. It had been the dominant theme - helped by both Chelsea and Arsenal going ‘foreign’ - and we most certainly have now.
In the past the club have consistently failed to get the best out of the foreign players signed. Let’s hope that changes this season.
