Next Captain

[Fame Monster]

Balotelli - a true professional in every sense of the word.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Take your pick from Kolo or Vinnie. Although Kolo seems to have came on to a cracking game this season without the pressure of the captaincy so more than likely Vinnie for me.

 

[tamworthblue]

Nige or Vinny for me. They both portray the club in a positive light externally and command respect internally and both have a long future at the club.

I hope Carlos is relieved of the duty immediately as to allow him to wear the armband right now belittles the position.

Agree with all of that. I sway slightly towards NDJ in that he's more in the middle of the park and can communicate both forwards and backwards. Small point but there you go.

 

[Stuart]

Big Vin for me.
A model professional , both on and off the pitch.
The type of character I'd feel proud of leading our great club into the promise land.

 

[Fulop's Reflex]

Should give it to Given to cheer him up so he can stay as a back-up keeper for a long time.

 

[NathanC]

Vinnie.

 

[TimmyTopper]

NDJ

 

[NZBlue]

Bobby will give it to Messi when he signs

You heard it here first!

Nigel De Jong for Captain

 

[LouisianaBluesFan]

Flying Dutchman or Vinny. Both make me proud to be a City fan every week. But seriously, do you think Mancini's not going to just promote Kolo? I guess the, this thread should be a Vice-Captain one.

and there's nothing wrong with that imo. Kolo would be a great choice to take back the armband.

 

[adammck]

Vinny for me... hands down.

 

[JamesTenOne]

I think it would be harsh on Kolo being vice captain if he wasn't given the role. De Jong would appear to be next in line, with Kompany surely not far behind.

agreed, but I'd have VK ahead of NDJ as he'd probably get a more sympathetic ear from the refs.

 

[Any1aBlue]

that'll be on a 'week-to-week' basis will it? Given that in all likelihood he'll be gone in the summer...............perhaps he should share it with adebyor.

hello mr mancini so who are you getting in place of barry!!!!

or are you just a poster that is presuming that we will be getting rid of one of our better players :(

de jong is a soldier not a leader and my vote would go with kompany!

bonjourno - leewill31. Ima glad you lika my ideara ov gettinga rid ov barry. You see i listen to any1ablue and he talka de sense................

 

[asae]

NDJ could do it no question but we give the press another stick to beat us with.

Tevez should be stripped of the captaincy immediately. Can't have a half-hearted mard arse that has handed in a transfer request as our leader.

VK or GB for me.

Here here, I wonder if it will change NDJ and his temprament at all if he was to be made captain?

 

[SkyBlueLion79]

De Jong for me but I think we all know that Kolo's gonna be Captain.

 

[tomcoblue]

Captain Nige has a good ring to it!!

Got to be either him or Vinnie though, as everyone else has said, they both act brilliantly on and off the pitch, even when Nige was getting stick for the Ben Arfa tackle, you didn't see him come out and mouth off about it, or get lairy on the pitch. he just bided his time, rided the storm, and then showed everyone why he is probably first on the teamsheet everyweek!!

 

[bluemoonmatt]

It'll go to Kolo but should be given to the collosus that is big Vin in my opinion.
