useless Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Kenza back training with us this week, so I think that probably ends the Angel City rumours, also Bayings was with the team in Spain after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Drew 2-2 with Charlton, Leon and Paula with the goals, not a great result but only pre-season and it was their last friendly before seasson kick-offs next weekend, so maybe they treated it more like a proper game than we did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Never heard of a draw in a penalty shoot-out before, but good to see Sophia Poor save a few of them, and Rachel Maltby to score, should do their confidence some good, interesting that Poor played the whole game with D'Angelo on the bench, I think Leat must be injured, didn't see her in any of the training photos from last week, and Soffia Kelly was with the first team again. We will have a chance to try and do better against Charlton soon enough as we play them in the League Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Quote @SERDepValencia Aston Villa are negotiating the signing of GABI NUNES The @LUDfemenino refers to her clause, which would mean about 300,000 euros of income. If the Brazilian '9' leaves and no signing arrives (and if it is not a guarantee): OBJECTIVE TO STAY. #LigaF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I'd be surprised if we were signing another striker, we already have plenty of options, Daly, Salmon, Mullett, and Leon and Grant can play there too, and we have lots of attacking optons in general But transfer rumours in women's football more often than not have some truth to them, you don't get the same level of things being made up as in the men's game, because there isn't the audience for it Of course could be that someone is leaving, but have seen no hint of that, Mullett could go out on loan, but even without her we would still be well covered All that said, we're allowed 25 in the squad, and as it stands I think we have 22 places taken, as I presume Poor and Mullett still count as PGA players being U21, so might as well use up the other spaces if we can, given injuries are usally a major factor in women's football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Quote Unless something unexpected happens, GABI NUNES will no longer be a footballer for @LUDfemenino in the next few hours The Granota team assumes that her move to Aston Villa will end up happening, due to the important offer from England. #LigaF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) Seems like it's legit. Odd signing for that sort of price if true, a very big-money forward isn't what I think anyone really expected to be something we were after. Hardly going to complain if she starts banging in the goals, mind: and it looks like she has done throughout her career. Another Levante player too!

If we do make this kind of signing in addition to what we’ve already done, I don’t think anyone can then doubt the commitment of the club with the woman’s team. We seem to be backing the manager with what he wants which is good. I’m certainly looking forward to the season ahead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) Women's team have been well backed even before potential Nunes signing, If Nunes comes in for the figure being reported then that will take it to another level, will be our record transfer, and even in terms of world record transfers, I think would be close to the top ten. Wasn't expecting another striker, maybe the logic is that Daly is our only real out and out striker other than Mullett, so we needed another, I think we've played 442 a few times in pre-season as well, so that might have played into the thinking Edited September 5 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) Yeah I was worried towards the end of last season about it all but the commitment to the women's team is clear to see. I'm excited again. Hopefully we don't have a 5 game losing streak to start it off and ruin it all Edited September 5 by Farlz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
