The same person on twitter who baited with the fake Russo announcement post has succeeded in getting Lia Wälti to get tricked about a fake Emily Fox announcement; so I guess the news of Maritz to Villa and Fox to Arsenal is real. lol.

IIRC, Tim Stillman talked about the Fox deal on the last arsenal women pod episode, so we knew it was on the cards.

yeah, but that feels like basically confirmation innit XD

@Astrealix for me, Stillman is the women's Ornstein. If he mentions it, it's as good as done. But yeah, third-party confirmation is nice. Kinda surprised Maritz is off, but I guess they have to make room in the squad if they want to register new players.

I mean, yeah. Honestly Stillman might be more accurate than Lia Wälti ngl, not sure how much the players get to know.

Maritz leaving felt a bit inevitable once McCabe constantly played RB ahead of her ngl.
