I know. She actually left Juve and the CL to sign. Just shows how highly she wanted to play for us having come through the academy. Also having Stoney as a manager played a huge part for a lot of these. Alex Greenwood will be captain :) Cities loss!
 


Huge signing for the Manchester United women and a big loss for Arsenal - Lauren is arguably the most promising young player in the world at the moment.


Just been reading about her. She was wanted by nearly most big teams around Europe. Breaking all sorts of records at a young age. Featured for England u18s at the age of 15. Captained the u17s at the age of 15 scoring 4 gls on debut at the Euro champions.
 
Oh my god, who the **** cares. None of you are gonna watch them play.

Yeah I'm sure you're overwhelmed with joy to watch 4th division level football.

bit condescending mate, which is the whole issue with why people will not give women football a chance. Sure it will never be as good as male performance, but that's just life and we need to give support to these people.

It's almost as bad as people who criticise Paralympics because it isn't as exciting as the olympics. You shouldn't;t even be going into it with that mentality.
 
‘Sake z.

Yer can’t add ‘these people’ and have that carry any weight. You’re doing the same thing you’re trying to make a pertinent point over.
 
It shouldn’t have.

You just patronised woman with the ‘these people’ line in the same breath of pulling Tyton for being condescending toward woman’s football.

Jeez, I was trying to support it not condescend it. The post was meant for that purpose.
 
Pulled up on English by Scouse. Might as well throw your keyboard in the sea.

No surprise the plastic flag waver completely missed the message there, but regardless .....

I know what you meant z and the point you made to Tyton was spot on. But you can’t then go flippantly band female’s together as ‘those people.’ It’s as male chauvinist and patronising as it gets.

‘We need to give support to woman’s football’ should have been the sinple line.

Of course I'm condescending. 50% of all the posts this forum is people being condescending towards male players and staff. I thought the entire idea was to treat female players in the same manner as you would treat a guy.

And I don't agree that it can never be as good as guys playing. It can, but it needs 2 things - smaller goal and a smaller pitch. Right now it's an abomination just like women's basketball.
