@CFCben1905 Then I think this might be good, you sign someone who can play striker but can be easily be moved around the frontline if an elite striker suddenly become available in the future

@CFCben1905 Which is why I probably would've been happy not signing a striker ngl, especially one who mostly scores pens and have only played in poor leagues 😅
English
@CFCben1905 cuz people are happy to see cfcw bring in a big money but don’t accept they spend big to sign. But that’s just the market now.

Quotes on this are very fun. Will look forward to circling back on some at the end of the season

Exclusive: Chelsea are close to signing Melvine Malard from Manchester United for a fee that would be a club-record sale for MUFC. The France forward will reunite with Sonia Bompastor, who is a big admirer. All parties seem happy with the deal. More here. theguardian.com/football/2026/…

@_treacherous_13 Does it for United and France. We have lots of players who can score against the likes of west ham, we have maybe 3 or 4 on their day who can show up against the biggest of teams. Signing a player who thrives under the pressure of big games really is only a positive imo
English
@CFCben1905 That might be the biggest thing ever, her track record against big teams can sell it to me alone lol
English
good especially under skinner but shooting practice needed fgs
English
@CFCben1905 Yeah that's one thing when considering our signings.. mccabe, malard, manaka, romee etc are hardly ever injured
English
@journalism_rp So I see Malards the defender you were talking about the club bringing in
English
@CFCben1905 Just don't scream "we want to take back the league" more like settling to fight for 3rd place, but maybe I'm overreacting

We might finally get the answer to the years long debate “ how would an NWSL team do in the WSL?” On their way to being a very NWSL coded squad

As reported by @Andrea_Pelaez_ I’m told London City Lionesses are set to sign France forward Kadidiatou Diani from Lyon. Sources close to the deal say the fee will exceed £500,000. She had a year remaining on her contract & LCL fought off competition. More on BBC Sport. #lcl

@CFC_Lorna Godfrey is an interesting one. Goodwin probably stays unless she improves significantly
English
@CFCben1905 True but then again, how long will Goodwin and Godfrey last
English
@CFC_Lorna Tbf the only young players they can recruit are the academy kids from top clubs who weren’t good enough to stay
English
@CFCben1905 Everyone else: signing reasonably young players
LCL: 30+ year olds
English
@CFC_Lorna Do have to wonder how long their “star” squad of 30 year olds is sustainable for
