PRe end of season Transfer thoughts?

Personally, I bet PSG gets three or four players outside of Division 1 from the rest of UEFA. and, makes the strength of Division 1 be at 3 clubs: OL, Juvisy, and PSG.

But what do you think about transfers and acquisitions this summer with Division1 clubs?

did you hear about this?

There seems to be a striking difference between the English Ladies FA and the situation in France, Germany and Sweden. Briefly, less than 5% of the players in top English clubs are from outside the British Isles (incl the Irish Republic).

Out of 10 top clubs I looked at, 5 do not have a single foreign player while 5 do. Half of the clubs.

Out of 232 players, 10 are from outside the British Isles, of which 6 are from the former white British empire (2 each from Australia, Canada and New Zealand). The other 4 were one each from Belgium, Italy, Serbia and Spain.

Having read (and commented on) Romain´s news about transfers in the French Feminine League with a Swedish player being bought from a German club and a Brazilian player coming in, and all the refugees from the collapsed USA league finding a berth in Sweden, have you or Romain any thoughts about the state of the English game?

england is taking a domestic tact, i think england wants to build up their players in their clubs and let france and sweden and germany take womens soccer in uefa to the next level then use the money of the FA and england to take over later.

You may well be right. Although Man Utd infamously closed their ladies´ section in about 2005, most of the other clubs carry on and Arsenal Ladies have already won the CL once for England. If your estimate of 3M €uro per year for the basics to run a ladies outfit is correct, then the Premier League clubs can fund top women´s soccer without straining a gut. Let´s hope that UEFA can keep ladies football more like the NFL than baseball.
