Russo's agent in talks with Arsenal.
Yeah, I'm hoping the agent has put it out there to get a better offer from United.
Arsenal also managed to get champions league football.
I'm guessing she feels that with them she's got a better chance of challenging Chelsea for the titles than she does if she sticks with Utd.
I don't follow it closely but sounds like Arsenal had horrible luck with injuries last season if they'd had their full squad they'd have been able to really push Chelsea.
A chance to be closer to family as well maybe is a factor.
Huh, United took Chelsea to the last game of the season just finished, and with one of the youngest squads in the country.
........ See above.
She lives in England, not bloody America or Russia.
They did push them close but she may have felt like that was a one off whereas Arsenal are maybe setup to challenge season after season.
She's from Maidstone so maybe she wants to be a bit closer to her family assuming they're still based there.
Facilities are being improved at Carrington for the womens team but they are still not the best according to reports.
Might feel the coaching is a better standard at Arsenal we don't really know.
She hasn't given a reason but there's obviously a bit more to it than just how competitive the side is.
Stop making excuses for her, she wasn't bothered about being close to her family when she was playing in America..
She was at college and we don't know if this was an issue.
I was just chucking ideas around about why she might be leaving sounds like Utd offered her good money to stay and it wasn't enough.
By all accounts, the contract she wanted was only offered at the last minute.She was at college and we don't know if this was an issue.

Sounds very much like her head was turned during the season.
Losing our better players to rivals isn't making the task any easier for the club as that's two England internationals they've lost to Chelsea and Arsenal in recent seasons.
I'm more gutted we lost batlle
