Maya Le Tissier | our new club captain
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
A rare bit of good contract news!
Even if she has been more variable than last season, she is such a lovely player to watch, cool on the ball, feisty in the duel.
Replaces Niamh Charles in the Lionesses squad.
Cool.
Fully deserved. Shame for Charles though, but these things happen.
Our new club captain
Toone is the new vice-captain.
I know she played as captain in a pre-season game the other day so I'm not surprised. It's always interesting to see one of the younger players chosen for the role though.
Of course it reminded me of our Chelsea semifinal win and her role in that. Anyone who gets the backs up of pro-Chelsea pundits is my kind of captain

I’m pleased with the choice of Le Tissier.
The perfect captain. Fully deserved.
I thought it would be Millie but I'm delighted it's Maya. Proper leader on the pitch.
Millie can carry on being chief hype merchant

I don't think she's missed a WSL league game since joining it. Consistent performer and great talent.
Will she change position or will Jannsen challenge Millie for the other CB position?

I’m very happy she gets this trust. The first time I saw her play, she took exactly twenty mins to become one of my favorite players.
Nice little update from United there. A nice reminder that we are a football club and the women are now part of the story.
Though personally my favourite SAF meets United women player is still this one described by Ella Toone.

It's just got that wonderful "he knows my name and I've screwed up" vibe

Not surprising really. She was playing for a boys' team on Guernsey until she reached 16 and could make the move to Brighton without it upsetting her education.
She made her debut for Brighton's first team only a couple of months after she arrived at 16 and was a regular the next season. Excellent injury record as well as a terrific young player.
Brilliant player. She's going to have some career.
Future England captain. Let's see if we are ambitious enough to keep her.
This is probably the point were I should refrain from saying anything ignorant about Guernsey.
