Any thoughts on other players in the Dub who may be on the move elsewhere between now and May 26th, given that the A-League Women April transfer window is currently open? Tori Tumeth and Hana Lowry have both secured transfers overseas, but it's entirely possible that we could see more players move abroad or even jump ship to other clubs within the league.
Surely this is the season that Holly McNamara leaves. If not she’s truly wasting her career and taking up a spot City could be using to develop another bright young talent. Alexia Apostolakis and Leticia McKenna are some other names from that squad I think will leave or try to leave. Both have Matildas caps so they’re now officially on the international stage. Melissa Barbieri probably hangs up her boots.
Daisy Brown, Izzy Gómez, Alana Jančevski, Sienna Saveska, Ella Tonkin, Peta Trimis and Pia Vlok are some ones to watch. Talia Younis will probably stay in the A-League or maybe goes over to Denmark with Marcus Younis but there’s no way in hell she’s staying at Wanderers, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up at Sydney FC. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Bente Jansen ends up back in the Eredivisie, she’s been quite a prolific goalscorer and is Brisbane Roar’s top scorer this season.
Goalies are an interesting one. Some teams have had some shocking goalkeeping yet the top three players on Sofascore are goalies in their early-mid 20s: Teresa Morrissey (24), Heather Hinz (24) and Anna Leat (25). I really hope we keep Heather, she’s over seeing her family in the US right now but she’s made it very clear that she loves living in Sydney (and apparently is bringing her three-legged cat with her if she comes back), though I’m sure American clubs are watching her.
As for loanees and potential loanees, Sharn Freier and Anna Rasmussen need to sort that out. Sharn’s injured but Wolfsburg had zero interest in playing her. Anna was the same with Juve, they didn’t need her. Wouldn’t be surprised if Clara Hoarau comes back from Fleury, she only plays a few minutes per game if she even plays. No idea what Kyah Simon will do, come back or retire or just be ambiguous? Would be cool to have Aivi Luik retire back home but her season and contract at Häcken isn’t over till November.
What do you reckon?
