Manchester United Women - Silly Season - Summer 2024 edition
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
No idea who she is. Sign her up.
Edit: another bloody midfielder
Much like the Men's team many signings needed

We’ve also been linked to Wolfsburg striker Ewa Pajor, who has a release clause of €500k. It would be one hell of a signing if it did happenTweet

That would be something. CL top scorer last year, BuLi player if the year, nominated as one of ten for world player of the year. Still only 27
Both Grosso and Pajor would certainly be statement signings from INEOS. Are these sources in any way reliable?
I find it hard to believe that proven top players would sign for a club with no CL football - unless it was a really good sales pitch from United.

Could this be a hint that we're looking to make a statement appointment in the managers position? We may be able to convince players with a combination of competitive salaries and an exciting project.
I hope we're looking at a statement with the new manager's appointment and I'm hoping that the statement isn't, "we'll get round to doing something fresh eventually." 
Meanwhile we've got reports today that Irene Guerrero is likely to leave - no surprise there. We've apparently made no move to sign Malard who was here on loan. Garcia is also likely to leave, her contract runs out next month.
It's also suggested that Hayley Ladd may be looking for a player/coach role somewhere. She's just completed her UEFA A licence and will probably be looking at starting the qualification process for UEFA Pro. She's under contract until 2025 but I doubt United would try and stop her if she finds the right opportunity somewhere.

I’ll miss Garcia if she leaves. Always gives her all.
So we sell somebody who could be a really good player for us, so Skinner will then sign more players who he actually will barely play in the team anyway. The people up high should be looking into the money he is wasting on players.
She’s still got a year left on her United contract.
Started wondering whether it would be a good idea to loan out some of the players who have missed the whole season to a league that runs throughout the summer period.
George, Watson & co. will probably just become match fit when our season ends. Seems a bit of a waste to just train for the summer when match sharpness is literally the only thing they need.

ACL injury rehab is tough though - it's very easy for a player to get reinjured almost instantly on returning to competitive football. So wherever they train/play needs to be handling them with care.
If anything my worry with Watson is that she'll get called up to a U21 or a Scotland squad and she'll be too eager to play.
I agree with you in general terms though. It would be nice if they came out of the summer in match mode, not rehab mode.
You’re right. Still being able to play say from middle of May and getting the first minutes in mid July doesn’t sound ideal either.

I can't claim to have watched Ireland that intently but I have watched them but I'm still none the wiser. Not sure what she'll add to the team or even where she'll play. Does this perhaps mean that Hayley Ladd is indeed off to look for a player/coach role somewhere.

Damn, I mean fair play for sticking around but looks like a lot of our bigger names could be off this summer? Parris and Earps potentially going, anyone else?
Let's hope she gets rewarded for that choice
Garcia is expected to go - her contract runs out at the end of May. Geyse may go too. Whether we'll see Irene Guerrero leave is anyone's guess. It doesn't sound like a deal for Melvine Malard has been done. I also wonder if Hayley Ladd is looking for a player/coach role somewhere - I suspect that might depend on what opportunities are out there. Plus, the usual flux of young players leaving our going on loan I guess.
Rumours on the incoming side aren't nearly so strong. We wait and see.
She signed a new contract in December, can’t see her leaving this summer.
Bloody hell, sounds like it might be a bad summer. If that is the case, with many of the better players leaving and not much incoming, how long before Toone and so on look to go?
I don't think she'd move just to play elsewhere, but I do think she's at that moment in her career where she might be ready for that kind of change.
I hope not because I do think on the right formation she gives us a defensive resilience that we often lack without her.
