Barry seems a logical choice to me, though I have heard Villa fans saying that he isnt a natural leader?
What is Certain is that the the balance and experience he will bring to our central midfield will be integral to any future success. Not sure Kompany will be an automatic starter unless he moves into defence. Midfield three IMO looks to be De Vong, Barry and Ireland.
Ideally a good team needs to have leaders all over the pitch and I believe we are starting to have that - its a good sign that we have two or three players other than Dunne that you could make a good case for being captain.
