Ella Toone

How can anyone not love Ella Toone -- except perhaps for anyone playing against her?
No idea. She is marquee
She's going nowhere.
Can't imagine it, especially if we get to the CL.
Of course PSG would love to have her. It wasn't long ago that there were rumo(u)rs about Barcelona being interested. Of course they were/are, as I suspect is the case for many other clubs around the world. But wanting her and getting her are two different things.
I agree with those who just don't see it happening. If there is a player anywhere who I would bet on to spend the rest of their careers with the same club, it would be Tooney.
I'll just add that if she were ever to switch teams, it would be to one outside of the WSL. Maybe Barcelona could entice her with the promise of being able to play along side her own favorite player, Aitana Bonmati.

"rumo(u)rs" -
Very good.You are right - any top team in the world would love to have Toone, but she is United through and through. And, she is so close to her family. She only moved out of her mum's house a couple of years ago apparently, and bought her own house a few doors away - at least I think that's what she said in a podcast thing.
Like I said - she is going nowhere.
P.S. - We could get Bonmati to United!

Not that it matters at all, but my recollection is that she said that she bought a house "a mile or so" or "a mile or two" from her parents' house. (I think that was discussed in one of the episodes of the "Tooney and Russo Show," when Russo told her that she wished Tooney would be a bit more open-minded about trying new things, and she responded by saying "I like what I like....")"rumo(u)rs" -

Another reason why I don't think she's going anywhere, at least not soon, is that she has established a brand -- both figuratively and literally -- in the U.K. She seems very dedicated to her ET7 Academy, and the web site promises a store to be "coming soon." (I hope the first item in the inventory will be red bucket hats!) Playing her club ball outside the U.K. could potentially hurt the brand, and she would have to consider that potential lost revenue when evaluating a salary offer elsewhere.
I’ve watched a fair few of her YouTube videos and she absolutely hates leaving Manchester at all, she doesn’t even like going London.
