[Albion] Fran Kirby

On her way to the Albion reports the BBC.

 

[Change at Barnham]

That's a statement signing that will garner some column inches.
Top work Brighton!

[Ethelwulf]

Great news

Dreamland

 

[Farehamseagull]

Wow, that would be brilliant, a real statement signing!

 

[HantsSeagull]

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Fantastic if true.

 

[ozzygull]

She would be a great signing. Great player.

 

[Silverhatch]

Keep hold of Terland too (or has she gone?).

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Great signing for raising the profile, experienced and a winner

Although she's on the decline, this and the other transfer business done today is certainly encouraging that we won't be in a relegation scrap.

Now for a manager?

 

[tigertim68]

How about a manager

 

[Mackenzie]

Just seen that, what a coup!

Who? Is she any good?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Wow, that is off the charts. What a statement. Should put some numbers on the gate, hopefully. Bring on the stadium.

 

[PascalGroß Tips]

Class player and a great signing.

 

[GrossTurn]

I thought she’d be older than 31, in fairness. I remember when she first broke onto the scene with the national team - great dribbling ability. Does she still get in the England squads?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Can she play left back?

 

[Hamilton]

Great to see that.

In the scheme of things, she is more towards the end of her career than at the height of it but a great signing. Like signing a Lallana.

Actually, upon reflection of the piss poor crowd at the Amex for the Everton game in May, having a Lioness Euro's winner in the squad is a huge coup for raising the profile of the women's team. Amazing signing in that sense
