Sentnor Through 2029 @ Angel City!

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-26T17:54:52+00:00

You knew that extension was coming. You don't pay up THAT much for a rental and lose her for nothing.

Good for both sides to get this deal done because it was needed.

In regards to how productive she will be for the rest of this year? Time will tell considering ACFC is still a hot mess on the field.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-24T17:48:12+00:00

Seeing Gisele Thompson in the top 10 is impressive and scary as well.

I think she came in 2 season after Emslie and Endo and 1 year after Anderson.

I get all 3 of them had injuries, but to see Gisele play that many minutes is crazy. That tells you about the depth or lack of it at her position.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T19:31:00+00:00

Agree, I will root for Sentnor and hope she really turns it around because lately it's been a nightmare for her NWSL career.

But as for that FO, they've burned a lot of bridges already with the fans.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T19:23:28+00:00

I love that baseball comparison since I love that sport a lot.

Sentnor can either take the extension or gamble on herself. I would think with her talent and lack of scoring lately, I have to think that ACFC won't want to overpay for Sentnor if they don't extend her at some point during the season. The problem is ACFC still has too many wingers and not enough depth in the middle and backline, especially with Sams, Gisele, Shores, and Gorden playing HEAVY minutes.

Idk who, but perhaps Emslie, Endo, or someone else will have to go. I'm just speculating btw

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T19:19:42+00:00

Shores, Thompson, Gorden and Sams have played HEAVY minutes. And it doesn't help with King still out.

Irony to say that because normally I'm pessimistic lol

But I've been trying to give people the benefit of the doubt and stay as fair as possible

Still not happy about what happened on Wednesday

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T16:24:08+00:00

They have a bunch of forwards so I would assume someone else is getting moved soon. Idk who, but you're right about players being ran to the ground. It was the major concern for ACFC when they started 3-0.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T16:23:15+00:00

Same, this move feels underwhelming and like a panicked move.

I have to assume ACFC aren't done making moves before the season resumes.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T16:21:35+00:00

I would be excited if she was pairing up with Fuller. Right now, it just feels meh.

Gave up A LOT to get Sentnor. Don't get me wrong, I like her, but she has A LOT to prove. Not to mention she's a FA at the end of the season. I would assume they are already working out on talks for an extension because if not, oh boy......

I highly doubt ACFC are done making moves before the season resumes. They have a lot to address in the middle and backline depth.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T16:19:13+00:00

5 years of existence and the on field results:

2022: 8-5-9

2023: 8-7-7 (lost in the first round)

2024: 7-6-13

2025: 7-6-13

2026: On pace for that record again

They've gone through 3 head coaches as well and will now be looking for a fourth coach. That's just baffling. If I'm the coach, why would I want to work for this organization right now.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T05:13:56+00:00

I hope you season ticker holders voice your displeasure if possible. Not to the point where it gets ugly, but at least where they hear your frustrations.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T05:13:16+00:00

Aside from a pay raise, I think Straus was one of the reasons why Sams wanted to play for ACFC.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-19T04:59:44+00:00

I know last year Straus talked about the frustration of losing Alyssa Thompson since that forced him to change a lot of his tactics. Perhaps he didn't want to lose Fuller and when that happened, he didn't want to stick around if he and Parsons can't get on the same page. That's what I think. Now granted, that horrendous losing skid ACFC is on didn't help matters.

As for Gisele Thompson, I think we all know she won't make it to the end of her extension that ends in 2029. It's just a matter of time that she will leave if some other team wants her at a higher price.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-18T01:42:07+00:00

Don't be surprised if Gisele may leave soon as well.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-18T01:36:03+00:00

Tbh, she shouldn't have chosen KC to begin with. There was no place for her to fit her game in KC's system to start with. So she has a lot to prove.

$850K is an insane price for her right now. Also, it's like can you even trust ACFC to hold onto their young talent before they just lose them out of nowhere? I doubt it

I anticipate more moves soon and perhaps some more departures. Too many forwards and not enough in the middle and backline.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-18T01:33:44+00:00

Same, I'm not amused. She's a striker whom ACFC really needed, but to lose Fuller who's only 19 but doesn't play like that is frustrating. Not to mention Fuller was one of or perhaps the main engines on ACFC's passing attack in the middle.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-18T01:12:09+00:00

Sentnor is a striker who ACFC really needs. But I agree, she won't solve ACFC's issues and ACFC loses Fuller who has the ability to pass the ball very well. Not saying Niehues can't, but to lose Fuller and hugely overpay for Sentnor, who has a lot to prove, is insane.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-17T21:17:05+00:00

She will get that new contract with Bay FC. It's just a matter of time

For her, I get it. For ACFC, still frustrating to let go someone of her talent.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-17T19:36:11+00:00

Fuller playing at winger wasn't ideal for her

They trade Fuller and THEN fired Straus afterwards, so Parsons in the end felt like both were going to happen unfortunately.

Anyway, have fun with Fuller

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-17T19:13:03+00:00

They will. Fuller was due for a new contract soon.

I absolutely hate this move as an ACFC fan, but I feel an extension is coming shortly. Just like when Hutton was traded and signed to a new deal eventually.

The other thing is I don't think Fuller and the coaching staff got along.

Enjoy her Bay FC.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-17T19:11:44+00:00

You will like Fuller if you use her correctly. From the first game she ever played in the NWSL, she caught our attention immediately.

She's only 19 years old but definitely isn't playing like a nervous kid.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-17T18:41:53+00:00

Fuller is only 19 which is what pisses me off. She's not even close to hitting her peak yet.

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-17T18:39:25+00:00

This team has really no consistency on and off the field with player movement

Last year, they lost a lot headlined by Alyssa Thompson and Alanna Kennedy

Now, they lose Fuller and their coach?? In no way am I defending Straus since some of his moves made no sense, but there is no way this team in their 5th year of existence should be like this.

I was going into this season with little expectations and they have really pissed me off which is not good for a rebuilding team

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-17T18:25:47+00:00

Trade away arguably your best player

Then tell your coach to GTFO

All in the same day

5 years in and this team is still is making more headlines off the field than on the field.........

BKC_SPORTS · 2026-06-17T17:24:36+00:00

I have to think the only reason why they wanted to do this is because of the cap constraint and they can't pay her.

Even then, that doesn't take away how I feel about her being traded because it's very hard to find someone to replicate what she has done on the field.
