Jaedyn Shaw, the 17-year-old attacker who committed to NWSL, remains unable to launch career despite league clearance. San Diego owns rights but she wants to play for Washington, for which she trained in preseason. Trade talks ongoing. Bad look for league.— Steven Goff (@SoccerInsider) July 13, 2022
Apparently LOU has obtained the rights for Chinese forward Wang Shuang from RGN (in exchange for a relatively small amount of allocation money and a fourth-round draft pick)
Bombshell: Houston transfer RD3 to Aston Villa https://www.houstondynamofc.com/hou...ansfer-forward-rachel-daly-to-aston-villa-f-c I mean I guess Salmon has been doing very well since arriving, but Daly is the Dash's franchise player.
That is big. Was expecting a duo attackers for the rest of the season and help Houston significantly.
I'm guessing this was more a personal thing. maybe to get back home with family, maybe partner, maybe just to be close to the England National Team. Who knows. I do know that I will miss her as a fantastic player in the league. BUT, will NOT miss her playing against the Red Stars. She was a terror against them over the years.Red Stars often had no answer for Rachel Daley. I wish her the best. She made the NWSL better with her time here.
She lost her father suddenly in September. They seemed very close. So I think getting back near family has a lot to do with this. She said as much in her Instagram post to the Dash fans.
I have been a Dash fan forever and we love Rachel Daly in Houston. She is a warrior and she will be missed.
should of been reported weeks ago, but still worth mentioning; Claire Lavogez of France moved to KC Current. Remembering her last year looking superb in the #10 role for Bordeaux when they nearly beat heavy favorites Wolfsburg in the Champions League playoffs(went to OT shootout). So excellent catch for KC!
Houston getting in on trade action again: they acquire French national Valerie Guavin from NC for some allocation money and a conditional 2024 draft pick. Guavin joined the Courage in March, but minor injuries have prevented her from making an appearance. She was a fairly prolific scorer in France on a goals per appearance rate, but she's averaged a relatively low number of appearances per season everywhere she's played.
