Quick note about Emma Holmgren not extending:

She is a genuinely nice person, so obviously I am sad in that sense. She’s nice and reliable and those are qualities I like both in a person and in a player. She keeps her head down and works hard and that’s what you want in a player.

Would I have rather she stayed on? Yes, of course.

But let’s really cool it with the hot takes of a backup goalkeeper who played a REALLY small amount of games during her time at Lyon not extending being synonym with Lyon’s downfall.

Bompastor said at the beginning of the season that Endler would always be the starting goalkeeper barring injury. That was made very clear to all goalkeepers and was part of the reason Sarah Bouhaddi sulked off to PSG (only to fall out of favor there too, but that doesn’t suit the current popular narrative).

The point is, if you’re a goalkeeper in search of playing time and you’re not Endler, then Lyon really isn’t the place for you.

The practices would be good for her, because she gets tested against a group of really world class players, but the only way you can really test yourself is in a game. Can’t really improve if you’re not playing. And that wasn’t going to happen at Lyon.

Now I know the popular narrative at the moment is that Lyon is dead, will never recover, and their downfall is to be celebrated by everyone and their mother. The absolute glee of Barcelona fans is truly something to behold.

But it’s already a little premature, and ignores important context. Bompastor already said that a lot of the 2023 contracts wouldn’t be extended. Those who follow Lyon are fully aware of which players are getting little to no playing time. Why stay at a club where you’re not playing?

Obviously I want my favorites to stay. I’m sentimental like that. But I’m rational enough to know a player who sits on the bench for almost every game of the season and whose contract is up is probably not going to stick around, especially when they have their whole career ahead of them.

So, bye, Emma. I will miss you and I promise there aren’t any hard feelings. Wish you the best, truly. Time will tell if you end up being The One That Got Away. I mean this sincerely - I kinda hope you are.

Yeah it's insane how many players have been/are in Linköping! From the top of my head and in no particular order it's:

Jonna Neto Minde Pernille Magda Frido Stina (x2) Nilla Kosse (3 times iirc) Frida Maanum Vangsgaard Bredgaard Labbé Pauline Hammarlund (now in Fiorentina and apparently the best paid player in Serie A) Lindahl Janni Arnth Rasmussen Jessica Wik (formerly Samuelsson) Slegers Gajhede Knudsen Nico Kildemoes Hurtig (with wifey) Selerud (now in Roma) Saori Takarada Landström (now in Roma) Mimmi Larsson (now in Kansas City Current) Angeldahl Dajan Hashemi Emma Holmgren (now in Lyon) Skinnes Hansen Ebere Orji Chinaza Uchendu Banusic Olga Ahtinen Yuka Momiki Uchenna Kanu Anna Oscarsson (now in Glasgow City) Rantanen Homare Sawa

Then the current coach Jeglertz can be added. He coached Umeå IK in their golden era with players like Marta, Hanna Ljungberg, Hanna Marklund, Frida Östberg, Caroline Jönsson, a young Lisa Dahlkvist, Sofia Jakobsson, Bachmann and Elaine in the squad. He then became head coach for Finland wnt and assistant coach for Canada wnt before he came to Linköping.

And of course Denise Reddy who's been a coach for Linköping twice and not to forget Martin Sjögren.

It is quite surreal the talent that’s been through, wonder what they put in the water up there to make them develop that much

Watching Angeldahl on the other stream. But I watch the games on the Dazn website. Real has the 2-0 lead in HT.

Before kick off they held a minute of silence after the floodings in Spain. It has affected Levante where Emma Holmgren plays.

Svenska målvakten Emma Holmberg är mitt i översvämningarna i Valencia

Emma Holmgren är målvakt i den valencianska klubben Levante och bor i de centrala delarna av staden, som hon säger har klarat sig relativt lätt från översvämningarna. Men bara några kilometer därifrån börjar det “riktiga kaoset”, säger hon. – Delar av Valencia och alla små byar runt omkring är helt förstörda. Bilderna och videorna som vi har skickats till oss kan du inte ens föreställa dig. Hem,…

2023 Contracts

Lyon is out of the Champions League which means contract extensions / non-extensions will start dropping. Here is where things stand for the remaining 2023 players:

Catarina Macario: TBD (my guess is no extension)

Amandine Henry: TBD, unofficially confirmed to go to Angel City FC

Eugenie Le Sommer: TBD (???)

Dzsenifer Marozsan: TBD (almost leaning towards she actually does extend but it's 60-40 certainty)

Lindsey Horan: TBD, most likely end of loan. Would be genuinely surprised if she wants to extend.

Vanessa Gilles: technically on loan from Angel City, Aulas made a comment about giving her an extension. Would much rather she extends but we'll see. Imagine how much more stable Lyon's defense will be when her and Renard have truly gelled.

Emma Holmgren: TBD (stays? maybe?)

Janice Cayman: confirmed departure

Signe Bruun: TBD (90-10 does not get extended)

Alyssia Paljevic: TBD (god I hope not)

Assimina Maoulida: TBD, but most likely departure
