Geyse Ferreira | Leaving on loan to the US?

I think it's been a tough period for her. She came to us from Barcelona hoping to become a starter and that hasn't really happened. She's not had an easy time off the field either from what we've heard. Relationship troubles and now her brother's death will have made everything hard.

We don't have any other Brazilian, Portuguese or Spanish players currently and that won't have helped her to feel at home in Manchester either.

The rumours were circling last summer that she wanted to leave. We heard before Christmas that United were looking at possible transfers and loan deals. This latest set of complaints, initially given to the press by her agent, suggests that United carried on suggesting loans while she was back in Brazil with her family.

In an ideal world - that might even be United trying to be good employers and giving her agent the chance to maybe look for a club closer to her family/friends while she was getting her emotional strength back. Unfortunately we really don't know.

She seemed ok on Sunday, but when emotions are this raw, it's hard to know what another person is thinking or feeling. It does look like the team are still very protective of her though, which speaks well of them.
 
Geyse has written similar stuff in portugese before, not exactly this, but its happened before.

United were going all in for Kelly and Geyse was obviously going to make way for her. (The worrying thing is we could not just add Kelly without axing someone to save money)

Does United make the football club priority or Geyeses feelings? Thats the main question. I guess not everybody will agree on this.

But its definitely a field day of others clubs fans saying United are scum etc and that Mark Skinner is the devil etc, the usual stuff.
 
I think we don't have enough reliable information to know whether Geyse was really ill-treated at United -- by players, coaches, or administrators -- or whether she is a prima donna who just resents the lack of playing time she's had.

Putting all that aside and focusing strictly on the football side of things, my personal opinion is that she has turned out to be a bad signing who has not proven to be a benefit on the pitch. She seems to me a selfish player who likes to show off her fancy foot skills -- which she undeniably has -- but is not a good team player. She usually seems to me to be focused on driving toward the goal or the end line, no matter what is in front of her nor with any awareness of where her teammates are. More often then not she seems to lose a dribble amid a triple-team, or makes it to the corner only to send a hopeful cross into the box (whether anybody is there to receive it or not). Chloe Kelly would have been a much stronger addition to the team.

An unhappy Geyse doesn’t offer us much, but our wing options (depth) wouldn’t be great if she leaves.
 
It has to be said it was a huge failure to lose out on Kelly, while still pissing Geise off and make the club once again a laughing stock in the media and in the womens football world. It could very well end up being the difference between that UCL spot in the end which would be a shame! The only thing we know is that Marc Skinner will be blamed for everything regardless if we cant finish in the top 3.
