leemond2008 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 What are the contracts and transfer fees like in the womens football? I've seen in passing that we have made a few signings in the last few days and I'd assume that they are decent players, I haven't seen any transfer fees mentioned though, do any tranfers cost in the millions? and does anyone have any idea on the contracts, are the top players on £40/50k is it more is it less? I keep hearing about how it is growing in popularity, just wondering how that translates into the financial side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer record for them I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most expensive transfer in the women's game was Chelsea signing Pernille Harder last year (£250k), but most transfers happen with no fee at all, when a player's contract runs out (86.3% of them in 2019; just 3.5% with a fee: https://resources.fifa.com/image/upload/global-transfer-market-report-2019-women.pdf?cloudid=dm3mxtl95tjrufvuohwn) Edited July 2, 2021 by HanoiVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 11 minutes ago, soezetoc said: Yes, Birmingham were just as bad as us last season. Hope they are on right course The Birmingham women’s team was in a bit of a mess last season thanks to their owners penny pinching. It must have been tough staying motivated when you don’t have any decent training or physio facilities. From memory they had games where they couldn’t even fill the subs bench. So I wouldn’t write off any of their players based on last season. It needs an eye casting further back to see if those players we are now poaching are any good or not.

useless Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 We've got twenty players listed in our squad now on the official site of those Sian Rogers, Sarah Mayling, Olivia McLoughlin, Freya Gregory, Meaghan Sargeant, Remi Allen, Chloe Arthur, Marisa Ewers, and Shania Hayles have all played for Bham city, that's nine players, our England U19s internationals Missy Goodwin and Laura Brown also came from them as well, as well as Carla Ward. This summer Mayling is the only one we've signed directly from them, and she was their player of the year, Allen left them five years ago, and Sargeant has spent the last two seasons at Bristol City but was injured for most of last season.

useless Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Looking at some of the results seems like we have quite a decent U21 team, which must be a good sign for the future as I imagine developing our own players will be a good strategy for us.

HanoiVillan Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I seem to recall thinking Sargeant looked like Bristol City's best player when we played them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 She (Hannah Hampton) is another one from Bham City, was their supporters player of the year, and has apparently played for England U17s, U19, U21s as well as being called up to the senior squad whilst still only being twenty, so sounds quite promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strog Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hampton is a top rated goalkeeper so looks a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Small Heath Ladies are fast becoming our feeder club. It really is a dream move for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Yes having read up a little on Hampton it seems probable that she's been signed up as the No.1 keeper... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 3, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 3, 2021 It's all been a bit of a whirlwind this week. Seems like a player a day, every day. Great to see us continuing to invest and improve - we're a club that wants to succeed at everything we attempt. Interesting season ahead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
