Was that about us not having leaders? If so, then he's bang on. Mind you, as Blues, I think we all know that anyway.

No. Don't need for pressure and the spotlight. All he need is to work hard and learn.

Kompany is a leader, that is obvious, but he's injured more than he plays. At times(especially last season) we looked all at sea like a rudderless ship on too many occasions, nobody wanted to be influential on the pitch and that cost us points.Don't really get the importance we, in this country, place on the Captain. If you're a leader, then you're a leader, you shouldn't need a silly title and an armband to show your leadership skills on the pitch. However, as a team we do lack genuine leaders.
Zabba is a good call but he's not a regular nowadays, where as Stones will most probably beHis performances suggest that he is capable but I don't know enough about the lad to know whether he has the personality...the likes of Kompany and zabba are born leaders which is clearly obvious
Stones certainly leads by example on the pitch in the way he plays but has he got the character to be a capt....Pep certainly seems to send a lot of messages through him not he side lines so maybe that suggests he trusts Stones to get his instructions across to everyone else.
lineker was arguing with piers Morgan on Twitter .about the importance of strong captains .
PM " At Arsenal , strong captains like Adams & Viera regularly inspired & influenced the teams performance - verbally & physically"
GL " Also, those 2 played in the same team.Was the one without a bit of cloth on his arm any less of a leader ? Of course not "
GL-"On the pitch ,it didn't make any difference who was captain. None whatsoever"

i was just using zabba as someone who has natural leadership skills and wondering if stones possesses those

Has he got the character? Have you not been paying attention? Of course he has the character and said in that Times interview at the weekend that he wants to captain City and England, which he will.
Not sure when he will first wear the armband for City but I expect him to takeover from Vinnie when he relinquishes the captaincy of the club.
I think he'd be fine captaining the team now in Vinnie's absence but he is a new kid on the block so probably reasonable to wait a bit longer.

I wasnt questioning whether he had, I was asking a genuine question as I've not heard much from him
I didnt see the times article/interview.
