Not 100% sure on Groenen - as United are saying nothing - but the idea of a transfer fee has been mentioned in the Italian press, and that seems to be consistent with what United regulars have heard. If the rest of the Italian speculation is right, United are still negotiating with Jackie on a renewal.
On renewals generally, it's all a bit of a mystery. I think most people are assuming that Fuso is going. Russo seems to be a major renewal doubt, but as far as I'm concerned they're all renewal doubts until the contracts are signed.
One glimmer of good news (assuming she is renewing!) is that it looks like Millie Turner has a medical all clear to start training again. At least that's how I read this tweet from her dad:
Not to sure any United regulars know the full picture with regard to renewals, which is why it was such a huge missed opportunity by those so called fans, who had the opportunity to speak to Arnold, but failed in their duty to ask him anything about these contracts, or indeed seemingly anything about the women's team.
If they were true fans of the club, they would have asked about the women's team, but sadly it seems that they very much were anything but fans.
I hope that we get some information shortly as to who is staying and who is going, as it is unbelievably frustrating to be in the dark and not be knowing what sort of squad we will be looking at for next season.
I mean we have no clue about our captain for crying out loud!
It is good that we have our first friendly known now, although facing PSG with one fit CB (Thor) doesn't exactly fill me with any joy whatsoever.
I couldn't possibly even begin to think just what our team will be that will start that game, seeing as there is sooo much confusion over soo many of our players and their respective contracts.
The fact that right now, we have more goalkeepers than strikers (3 v 2) is most odd, and very concerning (Earps, Rambo and Baggers v Russo and Thomas), surely by the time we play PSG, that will change.....won't it....??!!
It will be good to see Mille back whenever that may be, but with an injury or a diagnosis such as hers, there definitely should be absolutely no rushing her back, despite how good and how vitally important a player she is for us.
Hopefully, by the time we do play PSG, we actually have a squad of players able to take to the field against them.....but who knows with this club, and the seeming disdain that they have for anything that involves the women's team...
