Might change mine to Bonmati

Such an excellent signing. Really exciting

Shelina to West Ham confirmed. Loan until the end of the season, which is also the end of her contract.

For people more knowledgable than me, are the signings decent? Are we moving in a better direction with this and the new manager?

Yeah definitely decent signings. I don’t watch the NWSL but from those I know who do, they think Shuang is a great signing and just purely by the fact so many Arsenal fans are annoyed they didn’t get Charli Grant proves how good she is

Vinberg is pretty young but was admired by a lot of clubs and is a massive prospect. And like the Grant signing, it’s made fans of other clubs sit up and notice.

 

[bombarda]

Lovely lovely stuff. We’re going to win the league.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

This is honestly a bigger transformation than the men's team has seen this season. Not sure about winning the league - but, its starting to look like a team with ambitions.

 

[Saoirse]

Not going to get 3rd (Champions League football) this season realistically - 7 points behind Arsenal, themselves a very good side, with 12 games to go. But with this calibre of signing, you never know what could happen next year!

Yes, Vilahamn is building for next season and he's gonna need a few more. Would be nice if they could prise Clinton permanently away from United, but that's unlikely to happen.

I have no idea who else Vilahamn will get, but like Ange he knows what he wants for his style of play. I remain a huge fan of Hannah Hampton whose wasted on Chelsea's bench and would be great in a ball playing, play out from the back team like Vilahamn is creating.

Yeah he's said this season isn't about league position, its about building and honestly I'm just happy to be better than last year

But it is a good sign that we seem to be taking the womens team seriously and could be the perfect time. With Emma Hayes leaving Chelsea, hopefully their stranglehold on the league will weaken. Lets just hope we don't do what Liverpool did and put loads of money in, win the league a couple of times and then just forget all about it and get relegated!

We've been linked with another player, Amanda Nilden. A centre back who plays for Juventus and is blonde and Swedish.. I'm going to have to go back and delete all my tweets laughing at how many blonde ponytails there are in the Arsenal team!

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Sam Kerr has done her ACL.

Sam Kerr has done her ACL.

Just saw that - club loyalty aside, she is one of my favorite players to watch. Not to mention whenever I hear her interviewed she seem like a really cool person to hang out with.

Its a tough break for her, and Chelsea.

The club should be selling this as a poster on the shop I always love these kinds of photos (unless its the other way round). Shellshocked looks on one teams face and pure joy on the others.

Word has it Zinsberger is still stood like that in goal

I'm just to the left of the goal in the black coat with my kids we enjoyed that going in!

Was a really good game and they look better than last year but arsenal completely dominated us in the game.

We've signed some good players though should be exciting going forward.

Yeah real bad news. With how often this happens to players in the women’s game, it’s really hard not to feel especially sad for them. Particularly as it’s generally a longer recovery period for women too.

 

[Fitchspur]

Looks like we could be closing in on that Swedish CB we were linked with!

Left back I think, no evidence she’s actually played centre back despite Google’s insistence!

You know I did wonder, from all the clips I’ve seen she was playing LB but everything I’ve seen said CB so I assumed maybe she just filled in at LB for Juve

All the apps (and a few Italian fans I know) say never played at centre back. Covered right back and left mid so versatile and who knows what funky thing Rob has planned!
