Next Captain

[northstander62]

Otamendi for me short term, or walker, mendy a possible if and when he returns, however i would prefer a player who's been here at least 3 years, that would also allow for stones in the not too distant future. my preference is a central defender or fullback as they can see the game developing in front of them. i wouldn't give to silva or KDB for the simple reason i would prefer them to concentrate on what they do best without worrying about other things on the pitch.

I think fernandinho, easy choice for me, plays every week and a natural leader. Saying that I believe there are a few captains capable, them being, stones, walker, otamendi and of course kdb. I could say David Silva but let him do his magic and concentrate on his own game and let A another worry about the rest. We are lucky to have so many potential candidates, but id stick with what I said for now. May I add, few have said Ederson, never fancied a keeper as a captain no matter how good he is, and yes he is very good but it needs to be someone involved in the game!

Otamendi and/or Fernandinho atm.

Stones in the future (Waaaay to early in his career as yet...).

I'd give it officially to Otamendi for the next few years (hope we can keep him for at least that long). Give it to Stones when he hits 25/26. By then Silva, Aguero, Yaya, Nico and Bravo will be gone, making Stones one of the longest-serving players.

Stones or De Bruyne will be captain long-term. But Kompany/Silva for the next two seasons or so

 

[doobyedoobye]

Kevin all day long

 

[Mr Wendal]

Stones or even Walker if he carries on as he's doing now.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

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

David and Kevin both lead by example and I get the impression captaincy wouldn't weigh heavily on their shoulders. Other players look up to them.

I'd give it to Mendy, he seems to be a calm, mature and level headed kind of guy.

Why do we need a specific captain?

When Pep took over he said he’ll let the players decide each game and to be honest I don’t think whoever we picked would do a bad job. Even if they were struggling we’ve got enough characters and personalities in the dressing room these days to sort it out between them.
