HT, 0-1

 

[Blue Maniac]

****. 0-2

 

[Blue Maniac]

Passing is somehow been worse today than last week. We’ve kicked off twice in this half already and both times we’ve booted it upfield to nobody. Tactically incomprehensible. Gonna be a long season if we play like this.

Pike forces a save. Sigsworth wins a corner. Confirms our players are at least awake.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Triple substitution coming. Good save Levell.

Looked like it went in to me.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Looked like it went in to me.

Assistant ref is in a better spot than me but I couldn’t guess where it crossed the line.

 

[Blue Maniac]

****’s sake

1-3

 

[Orifice]

Ah well, at least we're the best of the teams that have lost both games so far.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Much more than a difference in quality here. I wouldn’t even guess our players are training together. They don’t seem to understand each other. The passing is clueless, they’re half a second late with every run, and they’re not fit in the same way the opposition are going to be this season.

On the plus side, Jemma Purfield delivered a better cross from a free kick than I’ve seen in the men’s team in years.

LCFC Women are pleased to announce the signing of midfielder Luana Zajmi from Slovenian side ZNK Pomurje.

The 19-year-old – a Slovenian youth international – teams up with the Foxes for their first-ever season in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League.

A versatile midfielder with UEFA Women’s Champions League experience, Zajmi enjoyed a successful 2020/21 campaign as she was part of the ZNK Pomurje side that won the Zenska Liga.

Speaking to LCFC TV, she said: “It’s just an incredible feeling signing for Leicester City. It’s always been a dream of mine to play abroad. To sign my first professional contract is just incredible.

“Women’s football, especially in England, is developing really fast and I think I’ll have a great chance to improve myself here.”

Internationally, she has represented Slovenia at Under-17 and Under-19 levels, earning 14 caps in total.

She will now link up with her new teammates ahead of this weekend’s WSL fixture away to West Ham United.

Does the women's game not have transfer windows?

Does the women's game not have transfer windows?

Yes. And it's closed.

Maybe she was out of contract. Or maybe she's not going to be able to play until January.

Yes. And it's closed.

Maybe she was out of contract. Or maybe she's not going to be able to play until January.

The article says it's her first professional contract, so presumably that's the reason.
