Easily, Wilf :)

Which one

 

[thereWasATime]

Laporte?

 

[Phil1]

Laporte?

Have you been on a bender for the last fortnight? That ships sailed.

On another note, whenever I read you username my favourite tune is stuck in my head for ages - which is a good thing. Can't beat a bit of Swedish House Mafia to start the day.

Next season is always open ;-)

We seem to struggle at times (especially when Kompany is out) with a natural leader on the pitch. As much as I like Silva, he's not vocal and commanding enough, so I think Stones would make a good captain as he reads the game well.

Thoughts.

 

[kaz7]

Too soon,he needs to concentrate on learning without the distraction,it has worked passing it around so no need to change it

 

[geoff clipp]

No need to rush into it. I reckon Fernandinho is a much better option for the time being.

 

[Bill]

not now but next season for sure.

 

[normskih]

Agree with @karen7, a bit too soon for me, but can see it in a couple of seasons and will no doubt be captain for many a year. I would go for someone like Fernandinho.

 

[maccadon]

Next season maybe.think pep is grooming him for the role with amount of times stones and pep have been deep in conversation mid match

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

next season, he has all the attributes to lead both club and country

 

[Blue Smarties]

He will be our future captain, but not this season.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I agree it may be a bit soon this season, but he doesn't have the language barrier that some of the others have.

 

[RandomJ]

Too soon but I can easily see him being our captain for years and years.

 

[McfcInsideMe]

No. For me no.
For future of course, but now no

Don't really get the importance we, in this country, place on the Captain. If you're a leader, then you're a leader, you shouldn't need a silly title and an armband to show your leadership skills on the pitch. However, as a team we do lack genuine leaders.

 

[razman]

in a couple of seasons

 

[simon23]

His performances suggest that he is capable but I don't know enough about the lad to know whether he has the personality...the likes of Kompany and zabba are born leaders which is clearly obvious

Stones certainly leads by example on the pitch in the way he plays but has he got the character to be a capt....Pep certainly seems to send a lot of messages through him not he side lines so maybe that suggests he trusts Stones to get his instructions across to everyone else.

Spot on Malg .
Lineker said exactly the same thing today .
