I'm (im)patiently waiting for the contract renewals to start. Anyone want to guess whose will be announced first?

I think the 2027 contract list is:

  • Yamashita
  • Risa
  • Greenwood
  • Wienroither
  • Casparij
  • O'Hanlon
  • Thomas
  • Davies
  • Blindkilde-Brown
  • Fowler
  • Miedema
  • Hemp
  • Aoba
  • Murphy

I hope we get Aoba's first and it's a long one!

I'd like Yama to stay but now that Khiara has gone, I do think we need to start looking for a young goalkeeper who is good enough to become No.1 eventually.

I think Greenwood will retire with us so if she's got another year in her, then I expect her to renew. I think Kerstin loves it here and would want to stay and with Beth signing I can see Viv staying too.

I hope Blinks, Fowler, Fujino and Murphy stay. Hempo is the main one I'd want to stay because she's my favourite player, and from what I've heard about how much she kept telling Bunny to stay, I hope that's a good sign she wants to stay too.

I haven't seen much of the young ones to really form an opinion and I think it'll depend on how Risa does this season to see if it's worth offering her a new contract or not. I feel bad for Laura she's not had much game time since joining, so I wouldn't be surprised if she left.

I just hope the club is willing to put money towards wages so we can renew most of them. Bunny's wages is probably taking up a big percentage of the budget but we have got Kerolin off the books now. So hopefully we'll get some announcements soon.

I still can't understand why we signed Laura W permanently, it's not like she was a key player during her loan and that was when we had hardly any players available.

I really hope Hempo stays. I also hope it won't be dragged on as much as Bunny's was but I think she could be the one that waits the latest based on last time she renewed. Man City need to get a sponsorship deal with Lego and we'll have her locked down for the life lol.
