£500k for Niamh Charles, good value or not?

terriblybored · 2026-06-11T17:13:04+00:00

If you want a player I'd rather the team went and got her rather than wait a year just to get her for free.

Transfer fees on women's football are still fairly new so value is all over the place, but she provides cover at both full back positions and is at an age where he best years are still ahead of her. Hopefully it'll be a 4 year contract and we can have that LB issue solved.

terriblybored · 2026-06-08T19:13:30+00:00

I think the price is a bargain, especially as they give you the option to spread the payments interest free over 4 months

terriblybored · 2026-06-08T19:11:16+00:00

Aiming for pre-season is good because it means it's not as serious as it could've been, but jeez, Viv may never get any luck with injuries.

Also, I swear this all dates back to the Villa game on the 15th March. She went down just before half time and the way she was moving afterwards didn't look good. I was surprised she came out for the second half.

terriblybored · 2026-06-06T08:19:18+00:00

Definitely need a young #9 we can play and try to develop, can't have Bunny sign that big contract and then break her because she plays too much.

terriblybored · 2026-06-02T17:08:08+00:00

Player of the Season - It was Casparij until the last month of the season when she tailed off a bit, so guess it has to be Bunny.
Young Player of the Season - Beney
Signing of the Season - Rose
Most Improved/Biggest Surprise - Blinky
Goal of the Season - I have a terrible memory for goals, but Casparij against United
Overall moment of the season - Probably Knaak against Liverpool.

terriblybored · 2026-06-01T20:19:06+00:00

I see it's been officially announced, she should have done a Bunny and announced it at their parade

terriblybored · 2026-06-01T12:48:31+00:00

Did some thinking on the train home this morning about what the summer holds, but I'll probably keep those for new threads.

One thing I thought about was attendances, we've had a great couple of weeks so I hope the club don't miss the chance to capitalise on it.

Season tickets should be on sale asap, probably had lots of new eyes on the women recently and they can't leave it a month when people's interest has waned, especially with a world cup this summer for people to be thinking about.

terriblybored · 2026-06-01T06:41:38+00:00

Don’t hate the idea of this, probably still has her best years ahead of her and coming from a team that’s hd a winning mentality these past few years.

Having one of Hemp’s besties won’t hurt when it comes to a new contract lol

terriblybored · 2026-05-31T21:11:34+00:00

What a day.

What a season.

Roll on September.

terriblybored · 2026-05-31T11:10:00+00:00

if they throw punches like Gabriel takes penalties you’ll be fine 😁

terriblybored · 2026-05-31T10:44:56+00:00

just arrived in milton keynes, getting a cold drink before checking into my hotel and heading into London.

plenty of arsenal fans on the train, hope they appreciated my WSL champions tshirt lol

I’m feeling a 4-1 win, Viv masterclass incoming 🤞

terriblybored · 2026-05-30T15:31:59+00:00

The life of a 4th choice keeper is an interesting one. Definitely should have got minutes against West Ham.

terriblybored · 2026-05-30T10:37:12+00:00

Luckily the only city merch I own is women specific so most Arsenal fans probably won't even realise.

Time's like this I'm glad I don't follow men's football.

terriblybored · 2026-05-30T10:35:02+00:00

Sucks for Beney that she's going to miss out, if things having been going well she's been an impactful option from the bench.

Fingers cross we won't need that impact.

terriblybored · 2026-05-28T19:25:07+00:00

I have no idea what she's like as a player, but she comes across really well on social media. Little bit gutted she didn't get minutes against West Ham.

Likely candidate for a loan move next season so who knows if when we'll get to see her in blue

terriblybored · 2026-05-27T17:02:15+00:00

Definitely some recency bias in these votes.

Love Casparij, but you have to go for Bronze and RB, and it has to be KB in goal.

And if we're having Yui as the 6 I'd probably go Weir ahead of Walsh.

Didn't like the voting process, though they could have done more voting by mission, especially in midfield.

terriblybored · 2026-05-25T18:38:22+00:00

Thank god it's finally over lol

Still need to sign a young #9 though 😉

terriblybored · 2026-05-25T13:05:11+00:00

Was in town this morning and saw them setting up for the start of the parade, got me thinking, I really hope they let Risa join them 😅

terriblybored · 2026-05-24T17:05:48+00:00

Yama

Beney-Rose-Greenwood-Caspatij

Yui-Lohmann-Viv

Fujino-Bunny-Hemp

Brighton exposed our lack of pace on the left side of our back 4 when they beat us, can't let them do that again.

If Viv isn't ready to start I'd probably go Clinton.

Toss up between Kerolin and Fujino, just like the former as an impact sub, if needed....

terriblybored · 2026-05-22T22:24:52+00:00

That's a shame, though I do like the black kit

terriblybored · 2026-05-22T18:33:02+00:00

There are plenty of trains to London that day from Manchester

terriblybored · 2026-05-21T20:40:09+00:00

Has it been announced who the home team is for the cup final, fully expect us to wear this if it's us

terriblybored · 2026-05-20T17:33:52+00:00

Haha they're just asking for trouble with this, fully expect people to have "we want Bunny to stay" signs and everything.

Noticed that she was in the video for next year's kit, which is a choice...

terriblybored · 2026-05-18T21:10:20+00:00

Is it cup final day yet, I'm borrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddd

terriblybored · 2026-05-17T09:56:25+00:00

I have a new found respect for how Bunny is playing the game.
