Next Captain

[Tugay One Cup]

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Pick the strongest formation/players to give you the best chance of winning then decide who should captain the team. I believe this should be the case in any sport football, cricket, rugby even pub darts. If you have to move other players around and weaken your team just to crowbar the captain in, then you need a new captain.

Brendan?

The gobbiest. Language doesn't matter. I suppose "WTF are yer doing?' comes across adequately enough in Spanish, French, Portuguese or English!

Fernandinho should be vice captain anyway imo

 

[domalino]

This should be the order of things

Kompany
Hart
Zabaleta
Yaya
Silva
Aguero
Kolarov
Fernandinho

And if all of them are injured or unavailable then it really doesn't matter who is captain.

Remove Yaya, Dave, Kun and Kola from that list and I would agree, including their rank order.

Yaya - doesn't care enough, sets a poor example, petulant and should be starting fewer games.
Dave - brillIant player but too unassuming and misses quite a few matches.
Kun - fabulous player but selfish and a walking sick note.
Kola - too prone to leaving it to others; not an automatic first team selection.

And Zab depends entirely on re-establishing himself (which I really hope he does).

Alek is a good captain for serbia so he would be ok as well

Give it a year and I could see it being KDB

He's already pretty much said that he's not interested in being the captain iirc. Could still see him as the 'lead by example' type if he manages to regain and maintain the form he was in a couple of weeks ago.

Fuck what he wants :-) as you say he needs to regain form, hard when the rest of the team aren't on it though

 

[KingCarlito]

He'll give it Kolarov lol.

Should be Fernandinho as Otto doesn't speak English and hasn't been at the club long enough.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Dinho.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

After seeing the rumours that Kompany is being made available to offers (and assuming his heartbreaking injury crisis continues either way), there's a good chance we'll be seeing someone else with the armband next season.

Any ideas/ guesses?

It's no secret that we're lacking leaders when Vincent isn't on the pitch and I don't think there are any stand out candidates outfield. For that reason, I'd guess Hart.

 

[PepForPresident]

I think we need to wait and see what players Pep brings in.
I would think it would be someone he knows and has worked with previously.
He will need someone to imprint his style & tactics on the pitch.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Absolute horse shit.

Like I said, rumour or not he's more than likely to miss a significant amount of games. Hope I'm wrong and this time he comes back fully fit.
