Is The Future Really Bright?

There is one clear and obvious answer to this click bait question. Whenever you have Kim, Lia, Beth, Viv, Katie, Steph, Manu, Leah then YES. A resounding yes. But we know that a few of them are injured and I’m less concerned about the future as I am about the present.

Like I’ve said before, Jonas and them have to be extremely aggressive during this window and I don’t think it will be sustainable, in terms of achieve success, staying with some of the players that have come in to help us during our stars’s injuries.

Look at Barcelona… Putellas gone yet they invested and the furthermore the players already in the squad are so incredible that they were able to win the lot, without the best player in the world. With that said I also think we could’ve done that if only ONE of our players had gotten injured and sadly that wasn’t the case. My point is that the we need to close the gap between the talent/ability/experience between out first choices and our bench, with the bench being players that not just show up when called upon but that challenge the first team.

We need to have these players in as soon as possible ideally but I wouldn’t be mad if I had to wait til after the WC or until the very last minute to get several players in if they are world class players. We are AWFC after all, a historic club and we deserve and clearly need more world class players.

Now, even if we don’t get a single player in, and we get all of our players back, we will be ok. But I don’t wanna be ok. I want the players to win the titles they deserve and because the injuries have robbed us, it is the club’s responsibility to see that this is a clear situation and we need to be smart and invest.

It’s time…

And if we don’t do it we will be left behind.
