    The transfer window is opening next week but as the FA does not communicate on the dates, it's not a certainty.

    Lincoln Ladies are signing 2 players from Australia Collette McCallum and Laura Alleway

    Doncaster Rover Belles have signed Julie-Ann Russell a forward with champions league experience with Peamount United.
    Chelsea carries on with its puzzling signings : after Katie Sherwood from Bristol come Sophie Ingle from Cardiff and Scottish forward Suzanne Lappin ( at least a quality player who will improve their squad)

    Any chance of WPS players going to England? Would they pay enough? Are they interested in non-English players?

    There is a salary cap and a maximum of 4 players per team can be paid between 20k and 30k£ a year...

    Foreign players are coming into the WSL last 21% of players were not English.
    This year 2 aussie and 1 kiwi have been signed already. So WPS would be welcomed, if money is available.

    Arsenal decides to try to give a chance to other teams by exhausting the players before the season has even started ( Laura Harvey might start the same 11 5 times lol)

    Wed Feb 15 v Gillingham
    Fri Feb 17 v Celtic - 8pm (Training ground)
    Sat Feb 18 v Rangers - 7pm @ Murray Park

    Wow, I was wondering where she'd gone to! As for Arsenal's signings: ouchy ouchy for Gothenburg in the Champions League.

    Asante and Press for Gothenburg seems a very valuable pairing for them.
    Kelly Smith isn't the player she used to be and was roughed up by the French team at the Cyprus Cup ( to my disbelief) :eek: :confused:

    Kelly Smith missed the FA Cup game as she currently injured. Arsenal still put her on the teamsheet :confused: Strong rumour about an ex WPS player who won the title last year coming to Arsenal as well.

    Well today was the day to get the new team sheets into UEFA for the Champions League so I guess she will be missing that game if she comes.

    Some good goals, some bad defending as well. Commentary guy is saying a lot of wrong thing as well which is extremely annoying.

    Too bad you don't really see the incident in the Liverpool - Bristol match that lead to the red cards.

    If you look in the corner of the screen a 01:47, the Liverpool player goes late and studs up into the Bristol player. The Bristol girl is alledged to have stamped her on the neck, probably as retaliation.

    McCatty has a 3 games ban while Yorston has a 2 games ban. The Liverpool player is not charged as far as I know. Brooke Chaplen from Everton has a one game ban.
