Next Captain

[Mancio]

Everything Mancini does seems to be thought through and forward looking.

I get more and more impressed by this guy as each day passes.

You Tubthumper

The captain should lead by example and thats exactly what carlos does. CTID

 

[whynot?]

he doesnt speak english, surely thats the main criteria for a captain? this is a strange choice IMO.

 

[cleavers]

Nice hat captain...

You can tell how much he hates being at City, he's turned the badge upside down.

 

[lee-mcfc]

nice one tevez
now start banging in the goals starting from tomorrow thanks!

 

[Lordeffingham]

Apparently the truth behind this decision was:




Bridge approached Roberto and pleaded with him, to allow Carlos to the permanent City Captain, said he was sick of finding Captains armbands under his bed and felt Carlos being the hansome bastard he is, this decision might give him some peace of mind.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I think the reason that he's not given it to a defender or midfielder is to avoid complacency. Something that I thought happened with Kolo last season. I got the feeling he felt he couldn't be dropped because he was captain which lead to some average performances.

Tevez is going to give you 100% regardless of captain or not.

There could be something in that. You know that captain or not captain, Carlos will always be the same. Maybe it's not just coincidence that Kolo put in his best performance in a City shirt v Spurs, immediately after losing the armband.

Certainly seems like a gesture of goodwill from Mancini.

I was a bit surprised that Kompany didn't get it but then someone posted that he doesn't have the full respect of the squad. Not sure what that signifies but then again not every player is a born leader.

Tevez, however, does seem to lead by example.

Maybe natural leaders like Konoany will still lead during games but it may bring out the best in Tevez?? Just Ian idea mind.

more indication of over caution.

Maybe.

In fact I quite like that idea. Mancini multitasking eh?? ;-)

 

[pee dubya]

Tevez was captain of Corinthians, a 21 year old Argentine as captain of one of the biggest clubs in Brazil. He obviously has something about him.

You couldnt find a better player to lead a team by example. Good choice.

Was debating this yesterday and my personal preference was komp, however as mentioned this jumps out at a manager who is thinking outside the box, and who not only impresses me with each passing day but who is displaying why he's now the manager of the best 'young' squad in the prem, I think Damocles mentioned it a few days ago but if there's a better young manager in world football I'll show my arse in lou macaris chippy. Great choice for captain, I can already see him growling at the opposition in the centre circle of scum towers with balo stood behind giving it the bigg'n to the rest...... God this is making me giddy, feels like I'm shooting my duff on a birds bristols for the first time.

It would be funny if the "boot-licking moron" ever gets back in their team and captains them against us. The centre circle pleasantries might not be so pleasant!

But i agree about Mancini. I love the guy. About young managers in world football though, surely Pep Guardiola is above him? But i can't think of many more young managers that are better than him.

I see what your saying m8 but the foundations have been layed at barca for going on 10 years, the style they play etc but bobby has built teams from scratch, and is also testing himself in the toughest league in world football, he pulls it off, and I have every confidence he will, then he is up there with the very best, pep can only exPect the same once he's experienced and achieved at more than a dynasty.

all he has done is suck upto carlos as he is pissed off with bob.

more indication of over caution.

FFS Bob, give in up on Bobby - time to move on and give him a full shot and total backing now - he's a perfect fit for us without a doubt, great call on Big Joe and another with King Carlos, I'm very impressed with our Italiano

So in effect we now have 3 captains, Kolo at the back, Barry in the middle and Carlos upfront.

Fuck me, we are ruining the Premiership and the Championship and now how many leaderts you can have on the pitch at one time !<br /><br />-- Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:50 pm --<br /><br />So in effect we now have 3 captains, Kolo at the back, Barry in the middle and Carlos upfront.
