Finally confirmed by the club after many rumours and reports. Excellent young defender and the right kind of signing.
Maya Le Tissier | our new club captain
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Any relation?
Nope
Good signing this, the Channel Islands is putting a lot of effort into Womens football past few years, there are two more I know of coming over next year to play while at Uni Danni Da Silva is a very promising CB/RB and then Leah Morris is an attacking CM who has broken goals and age records, both worth watching out for, both will be at Lewes next year.
What? Are you saying there have been two talented footballers in England called Matthew Le Tissier and Maya Le Tissier, and it’s total coincidence?
They're also both from Guernsey yet unrelated.
I suspect all ‘non-relations’ from Guernsey.
Does she occasionally takes cracking long shots?
Its a common name in Guernsey
A fantastic signing, one that we couldn't let pass us by, seeing as we were severely depleted in the full back area.
Presumably Ona moves to left back and Le Tissier plays Right Back, with Blundell as cover?

The Channel Islands are a bit odd, but Guernsey isn’t Pitcairn
At least this one signed for United.

I might be generalizing a bit too much from Bergerac.
Bergerac is wonderful

Charlie Hungerford would suit our board…
fecking hell he's a bit old isn't he?!
Does she actually play as a defender?
I would say it was pretty special seeing her play as well
Two goals for a defender in her debut is unusual. More importently, she looks a proper player!
She was really good today - some lovely passing, good at her defensive job and two goals. What more could anyone ask for on a début.
A hattrick on corners?
Well Zelem has scored twice directly from corners before, so a hat-trick for someone would be ace!
Maya & Millie Turner have to be nailed on to play for England against the USA, same for Zelem, Tooney and Russo....
How Sarina couldn't pick them I wouldn't understand.....if she picks any City players that would be a farce (Kelly & Hemp did naff all v Villa, both should be dropped, and I would call up Salmon instead of both of them).
Switches to number 4 for the upcoming season.
Deserved.
A great debut season. She looked good at Brighton but stepped up a level last year. Outstanding passer. Sadly the question will be how can we keep her when her contract is up for renewal in her last year. We are developing a bad habit with James, Russo and Batlle not renewing contracts and are starting to look like a development club for great young players to move on from after 2/3 years. Teams will definitely be looking at her.
Delighted for her. What a debut season she had.
Good to see. She really has made a terrific start to her United career.
Interesting that United ended up providing 3 of the back 5 in that team.

Don't they call natives of Guernsey 'donkeys' and those from Jersey 'beans'? I'm going from childhood holiday memories here so I might be completely off.
You’re right about beans; I know because I used to know one. Not sure about Guernsey.
Great news!
Excellent news and all the better after the Chelsea match where the commentators were complaining about her success in the dark arts
Any relation
Yes, some generations back they have a common ancestor.
It was a masterclass in shithousery - she knew exactly how far she could take it without getting sent off. I didn’t know she had that in her, but I’m glad she does because I don’t think we would have won otherwise.Excellent news and all the better after the Chelsea match where the commentators were complaining about her success in the dark arts
Delighted. Captain material in the future.
Now that’s a good aquisition if I ever saw one.
100%, she is consistent and confident. Not always maki g the right choices, but the mistakes are reducing and she always leaves everything out there
