Maybe they see enough "Potential" to keep her inhouse hence the option for the additional year I am intrigued who will be the first of new incomings to see if it sets a tone for the level / quality of player we are looking to bring in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Is this because the club already has a good idea of who are staying, who are due to go and perhaps have some indication of new players coming in? Are we that organised this early after the season? I suspect the 'pipeline' is going to be longer than that. Personally, I would expect the club to bend over backwards for the likes of Fran Bentley, Abi Harrison and would have done so for Aimee Palmer had she not left. There is a good core of current players who will be keen to stay and prove themselves in the WSL, which is good but the step up will be a real test. Early days yet for new arrivals, so we'll wait a while. I dare say the released lists from the other clubs will be examined in detail by all the clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Bentley is still under contract, I have a feeling Abi's contract extension will be or has been triggered. As for Palmer (and I think I mentioned it before), she was sat away from the dugout alongside Boddy (who also eventually left) at the final game away at Birmingham. Don't know if there was some fallout or difference of opinion, but that's partly why there was no new contract for Palmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to add significant quality to the squad, or will be looking at drubbings every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Appreciate what you say, OE, but I think the club sees some potential that Jesse still hasn't reached as yet - she's still only 22. Hope she will reward everyone (especially herself) and can push on next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Interesting it's been worded as a new contract as opposed to an extension - maybe it's better terms she has now. She was already under contract until 2024 but am glad she's committed to another year 56 minutes ago, phantom said: Serious question, who is left to be announced? The club are certainly dragging out these contract signings As far as I can recall - Vicky Bruce, Brooke Aspin (she'll be 18 this summer so can sign professional deal), Maddi Wilde, Liv Clark Mari Ward, Tianna Teisar, Erin Foley are still academy players. Grace Clinton & Gracie Pearse were loan players but will be interesting to see if their parent clubs will keep them, loan them out again or let them sign for City (or anyone else) Edited June 14, 2023 by shahanshahan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miser Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 There was a comment by Vicky on a media piece prior to the end of the season which implied that she would be here next season playing at the Gate. Kinda implied that something contractual was already in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 I think this may be Anita Asante's position.

Thanking you in advance Games are meant to be played on Sunday afternoon, but given the TV deal for the WSL, you can see games moved to Friday nights, Saturday midday(?), Sunday midday(?) or even Sunday evenings if selected for TV. Not sure about fixture announcement but I expect once the EFL ones are done next week, then the women's leagues can work out the fixtures - especially for the benefit of those teams that share grounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkwaymom Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I’m guessing we won’t get picked for tv much. Possibly at home to top 3 or 4 for the benefit of their supporters who won’t travel in numbers. Might have to accommodate rugby once or twice though.
