Season doesn’t start for another month though so plenty of time. I don’t know if the new Director of Football has started yet either. I think it has mentioned a while ago by the Athletic but nothing from the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 7, 2025 Share Posted August 7, 2025 Came in to ask the same question! Should expect 3 or 4 more arrivals in the next few weeks at least. Defence looks stronger and Nobbs is a great pick up. Surely another couple of starters to come though. Look forward to seeing them at the weekend.

Iwantcurlyhair2 Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 They look really good during warm up. May well be a step too far for us. Should be a good day regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

belly fat Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 I'm I the only one who thinks playing with a back five has only robbed us from having an outlet out wide (Lumsden), whilst simultaneously not stopping us losing the battle in central areas?

belly fat Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Well, playing 40 minutes against 10 might show us if there's actually a plan in place on how to controll the game and create chances. (So far it's been lump it up, see if it sticks) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 That should have made it 10 versus 10. Very lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT24 Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Wants to add 4 or 5, sounds like they've just moved into a new(?) training centre too but unsure where. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iklgizmo Posted August 10, 2025 Share Posted August 10, 2025 I think we'll see a bit of movement in the WSL over the next couple of weeks, and then championship clubs will be fighting for the scraps to bolster their squads after that. London City lionesses are doing great business in the transfer market. Hoping we can get promoted and do similar next summer!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 10, 2025 Share Posted August 10, 2025 I would have thought we are well stocked in defence. Maybe another experience CB and GK (thought moan was highly rated though). Another top drawer CM, Winger and striker would be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 So the person we had lined up fell through? Grace Williams from Palace? Or was that a different job? Gives the impression we simply dont have our shit together and in that scenario people get tired waiting and move on to other opportunities. Best case, maybe they formally need to advertise it before hiring the person they have lined up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best case, maybe they formally need to advertise it before hiring the person they have lined up? Different roles, that Palace lady is coming in as DOF. Head of Football operations is basically the same role as what Jack Ross is doing for the mens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT24 Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Yep, what 54 said. Basically setting up a full structure for the Women's side. No update on when Grace Williams is starting but hopefully soon. This hire would report into her (who I guess would report into the new CEO?). Between that and moving to Cochrane Park for a new training centre, looking forward to seeing the progress they make this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
