shahanshahan Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 News that I missed yesterday while I was on my way to Southampton, but 17-year-old academy goalkeeper Erin Foley (who only made 1 senior appearance last season) has been loaned out to non-league Larkhall Athletic for the season. Hopefully she gets a lot of gametime; I don't think she'd get much or any with Fran Bentley or Liv Clark being in goal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Interesting appointment. Seems previous work with Lauren Smith was key in attracting her to the club. Obviously Asante has a long playing career at club and international level, as well as experience abroad. Just wondering what her coaching qualifications are. Could be this club is beginning to put a real effort into the Women's side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted July 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 As someone who has minimal knowledge of the women's game, I'd be intrigued to know whether our squad is seen to have been strengthened with the recent signings? Have we simply signed promising youngsters? Also, are there any objective outside sources commenting on prospects for the new season? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oldest of the new signings is Chloe Mustaki, who turns 27 next week. She's done great things in her native Ireland Signing Fran Bentley permanently is promising. But I feel Liv Clark (who seems to be the in-out replacement for Sophie Whitehouse will give competition). Shania Hayles is only 22 but had a huge impact for Villa a while ago. Transfer window is still open until the start of September, I believe. Am not sure what the actual budget is, but at least this season we won't have the likes of Liverpool to compete with in the league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise that when she first joined over the summer from the Welsh leagues, it was on a non-contract basis - this may explain why she wasn't initially announced at the time. Club announced today that she's left the club, as her deal ended. Either she wasn't offered a new deal, or chose not to sign & is going elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 I actually bumped into Sophie Whitehouse after the England v Spain game at Brighton. Had a chat & said that her new signing would be announced soon. A day later, and she's announced as joining Lewes, which is only a few miles away from Brighton...

Slacker Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I don't think there will ever be a better time to try and generate interest after the fantastic tournament England have just had.It would certainly be an opportunity missed not to give it a try.

Yes, now is the time. Between City and Bears there’s only 4 games on in September so would probably be a good month in that respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
