I don’t think she’d be a starter anywhere but WH or Villa. All signs point to van Domselaar staying at Villa. If Earps leaves United, they have Phallon Tillies-Joyce to take over. Mac would be on the bench. She needs to be somewhere she’s starting regularly. Now that Teagan is well and truly back to full fitness and finishing this season with the 1 spot for her club (which is what Liverpool bought her for, she’ll keep it now as long as she maintains form) they will be in a battle for the first spot for the Tillies that they’ve never really been in before. It’ll be crucial to be starting week in week out for their clubs. I think staying at WH where she’s the undisputed number one is the best thing for Mac. She runs the risk of being benched at Villa or United
Whilst regularly playing would hold importance over everything else dont you also think that being on a team where they wont concede 5 every week is important? teagan is at a better team with a much better defence and by proxy, wont concede as many. So naturally in a 'battle' between the two then teagan will always look like the better keeper. I AM NOT TRYING TO START A DEBATE IM JUST SAYING WEST HAM ARE CRAP AND DONT MAKE MAC LOOK GOOD, THAT IS ALL. So if the reason for macca moving is because she wants to keep the tillies jersey then maybe her best chance is around europe.
FWIW, i think teagan will be starting by the time it gets to the asian cup regardless.
I understand you don’t want to start a debate and I agree with you on all points. If Teagan stays healthy, which I am crossing all the things she does, she’s gunning for that spot back. As she was always going to be.We know things would have been different without the monster head injury. Which is why Mackenzie has (totally rightfully, I’d have done the same) jumped on every sponsorship opportunity that has come her way. Being the starter in the WC due to the kismet of perfect timing is not lost on her. I’m sure it’s in the back of her mind. And now she has set herself up brilliantly money and sponsor wise for when Teagan (eventually, she’s not just waltzing in and taking it back lol) overtakes her.
I do see the point that she needs to be somewhere with a better back line so she looks better and maybe their competition for the 1 spot stays closer, but starting on a team where your back line sucks is better than being on the bench for a team where the back line is better. I could see her at Villa if DVD (goalkeeper version) goes, but United would be a nightmare. I’d hate to see her there, especially if Earps stays and she takes PTJ’s bench spot or if she goes assuming she’d start over PTJ and then doesn’t.
DA. Fully agree with all points. Mac and her team have been very smart in the way they have gone about taking advantage of opportunities that have presented themselves post WC, and she is doing a good job of making herself marketable beyond the present time, and will continue to make money from sponsorships and the book deal etc regardless of whether teagan takes the starting spot or not.
Personally I can't see her at Villa, nor can I really see her being United's starting keeper so that sort of leaves West Ham, Palace?, Spurs (their starting keepers contract is up this summer), or going abroad as her options realistically. I could see her and Kirsty being on separate teams in England and making it work, but question is whether both would live abroad, or if they would be content to do long distance for a season or so. I know people will say "if they are meant to be together they will figure it out, its not forever etc", but going from living together practically your entire relationship to then living in different countries is hard and not something that some people would want to do. I certainly wouldnt.
