Next Captain

[mat]

am i too old fashioned expecting the manager to pick a captain and vice captain himself? This player vote thing seems nonsense?

If I was a player I'd be voting for Carson to take the piss.

Good to see the armband back on a CB

And our best leader on the pitch.

We normally give the club captaincy to either the longest serving player or the most senior player. If it's longest serving then it would be De Bruyne and if it's the oldest it would be Gundogan.

I think the players elect five players to be part of a leadership group at the start of each season.

This season the rank was:

Club captain - Fernandinho
Vice-captain - Gundogan
3rd captain - Dias
4th captain - De Bruyne

My guess is we'll give Gundo the captaincy as he's the most senior player and clearly a well respected member of the dressing room otherwise the players wouldn't have voted him to be vice-captain. After his heroics against Villa and the fact that it could well be his last season at the club I think he deserves it.

Pretty sure Walker was in there as well.

You're probably right. I did look for who the other one was but could only find four.

It should be Kev, but I reckon they will vote for Gundog & once he probably moves on next season, Kev will be wearing the armband. Similar process to Silva & Fernie in previous years.

Dias is the Captain,no one else comes close.

If anyone's wondering, it's very much this.
