Yeah it's ridiculous, especially when the men have one. I would kill for an actual goalscorer up front for Sydney, we're solid everywhere else including on the wings but that one position (plus midfield without Indi dos Santos) is fucking our entire season up once again.
Welcome to the forum! I agree that the A-League Women is at a disadvantage compared to the rest of the world by not having a January transfer window but I'd say because the transfer window at the start of the season runs through Christmas then APL thinks there's no point in having one in January, but surely they could extend the window until February and move the April-May transfer window to June to align it more with the European leagues.
Oh and my apologies, I should also say, welcome to the forum! Great to see more women's football fans here! This forum is the perfect place to discuss Aussie soccer: men's, women's, youth, you name it! We cover the Socceroos, the Matildas, the A-Leagues, the Championship, the NPL and Aussies playing overseas. If you have any questions feel free to DM, but once again welcome!
A surprising signing that's for sure! Surely she makes the starting 11 and helps them get promoted. It's tight up the top at the moment though.
WHAT A SIGNING!!! And who says we aren't still making talent?
Raz is going sooner than I expected but she certainly has the talent to make it overseas.
Yeah definitely way sooner than I thought. I thought she’d surely spend the rest of the season at Mariners and try for the Golden Boot.
I think Annalise Rasmussen getting a Matildas callup is inevitable, whether that be as part of the Women's Asian Cup 26-player list or in the April international window as she already has international and big game experience with the under-23 Matildas and no doubt she'll be making waves at Juventus as soon as she's registered on their playing list and getting game time for them.
She needs to be capped soon like we did with Daniela Galić (who was also eligible for Croatia). She's eligible for the Cook Islands and South Africa and with South Africa having won AFCON before but lacking players playing in Europe (and would possibly use her to say "hey, we have White players too") and the Cook Islands being shit at football a player like her would be a gift so we have to cap her.
Alana Murphy to Nottingham Forest now a done deal. She'll be under contract at the club through the end of season 2026-27 and makes the move after 12 appearances for SC Sand over the course of this season.
Did see this! Forest looking for promotion so could be good for her.
Nuremberg will be looking to stay up (though they're pretty far off going down) so this could also be good. They've conceded the second most goals in the league (40 in 16) so a quality CB like her should strengthen their squad.
