Next Captain

[Willie Wontie]

Does it really matter in football

The cult of England captain is meaningless

 

[Trautmann's Chiropractor]

No Dani Alves to call on for leadership it seems!

 

[Toney’s bookie]

KDB for me but don't we have a great choice!

 

[Neville Kneville]

Silva for a bit, then Stones.

 

[Bill]

Stones

 

[Marvin]

It might work out that Kompany gets a little rest and Stonesy gets a confidence boost at the same time. That would be perfect.

 

[mccity]

Silva for a bit, then Stones.

Exactly what I'd come to say when I saw the title. It'll be Stones long term but if Kompany were to step down this season it might be a bit too much to give it Stones. Let him develop as a footballer first, leader later.

Stones

I suspect this is the long term plan.

I thought it was telling he's doing far more media work now.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Mendy.

 

[RayCTID]

Stones is a good shout but Ederson is another good candidate.

 

[City Raider]

Messi

yeah i know....

 

[Armaan]

 

[Carver]

Stones has got a lot to learn about his own game first. Yes, he's had a good start to the season but pep has only just stopped ranting at him from the touch line. We want someone with a football brain, not a football for a brain.
On current form Dave until he retires at age 45.

Kyle Walker for me, the way he's shaping up

 

[TonyM]

Jonny Evans?

 

[TFC]

It'll be John Stones.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Probably Stones,
but right now I would plump for Kyle Walker.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Kdb for me.

 

[hazmcfc]

Interesting that Stones turned the captains armband down when fernandinho went off

 

[richards30]

de bruyne and then stones

 

[City_Sean]

If Stones can keep up the quality of last night's performance then he'll be our captain no issue.
