Smith to UIK, Ludlow to Linkoping

The official news will be all over internet tomorrow
but I can tell you now that Arsenal are to lose their two key players

Kelly Smith is going to play for Umea IK whom Arsenal face in the UEFA Cup final
and Jayne Ludlow agreed to sign with their rivals Linkoping FC

I can't believe this is happening... F*cking nightmare!

Well If they got good money out of it and a new challenge that's all right.
And it will be an opportunity for the youngsters to prove themselves at the club.

Yes, it will be their opportunity...

But I'm not happy I never saw it coming
even though I knew LFC were interested in Jayne,
she seemed to be one of those who'd never leave no matter what

And Kelly?! Going to our biggest rivals in Europe?
I understand they needed someone like her after Mostrom retired
but what is her interest in the move?
If she wants to be in European Champions Club,
she can as well stay in Arsenal

Well at least Dani will be able to prove she can play at center mid, Charlotte could get a game on the left wing and maybe even Sian as playmaker instead of Kelly.
And we could have Meg McKeag at left back as well, plus Flaherty & Wicks regularly on the bench.
I would have this team next season :

Byrne ( Spenser)
Scott ( Tracy)
White (Cooke)
Phillip (Flaherty)
McKeag ( Champ)
Carney (Wicks)
Asante (Saulter)
Chapman ( Buet)
Yankey (Gurr )
Sanderson (Larkin)
Fleeting (Davison)

Wow you seem happy they're leaving shlj

Do you think they will still play in the FA Cup final?

I don't know when exactly are they going to Sweden
but the season starts there very soon.

Where did u find this out?
If it is true then ill be sad but goodluck to her anyway!

Wander how the fans will treat kelly after her gesture to them

If its true I'll be sad about both players and thankful I got Fayes name on my shirt

That was in Denmark matey, Kelly's going to Sweden

Chelsea, I know certain people in Sweden. This is 100%

Ahh right Thanks for the info.

Sorry agent smith and kelly if you see this

Is this a [beep!] joke...

April 1, looks like it

Argh! I don't know...is Agent Smith trying to be funny??

I'm not finding this funny

Agent Smith tell us the truth!!!

I will always be happy if Gemma , Sian, Charlotte and Danielle get more game time.

Looks like an April fool to me

Maybe ? it would be a blessing in disguise anyway.

Hahaha you guys suck! No one wants to believe me waaah

Of course it was an April 1st joke

Here's the truth: LFC are indeed interested in Jayne
but no one's signed anything yet
but Kelly in UIK? Pfffffffffff that was a cruel joke indeed
Nananana

It means a lot of youngsters will leave at the end of the season to get a chance
of first team fotball.

If anyone wants to leave, they will leave anyway,
Jayne might still go LFC, who knows?

And if Kelly goes anywhere it's WUSA only IMO - and that's in 2008

Well done Agent S - fooled 'em

You'd probably have got me too if I'd not just been reading the MOTM thread
