Well I think I'm more confident in a Lejuene and Clarke defence which, unless we go back 3, isnt Guna happen at Spurs. Overall though he's got the personality for captaincy and does give his all so fair enough, who would have been more worthy?
As long as it doesn't mean he'll start games no matter what then it's okay. Needs to be picked on form and ability like everyone else. I'd have Ritchie as vice-captain as he's in the team every week.
Colo was a terrible choice to make captain. Especially for the last 2 or 3 years when he just wanted to leave.
agree no one should have an automatic right to be picked first they have to earn it the hard way and this season is going to be tough
Can Chippy please just get on and enjoy/hate his holiday so that the rest of us who have work to do can post on here in peace during work hours!!!!
When you think we went from Nolan/Barton to that, you can see why the team spirit just diminished by the year. He was the embodiment of everything that was wrong with the club
So long as the team gets picked on merit I don't have a problem with this. As some have alluded to can anyone name someone else who has demonstrated Captain material?
All this picked on merit stuff is bollocks for me. Your captain should be so good he picks himself. I think this just confirms what we all already know - the squad is lacking quality massively.
I think it is the nice way of swapping Lacelles and Shelvey round, "Jamal you're club captain....apart from when you don't start, then its Jonjo"
It would have made sense to have gone and out and bought someone with all the attributes to be Captain. A player that is in the team on merit, respected, a leader, etc. Having read that back to myself, I've realised how deluded I am.
My season predictions were 8th in the league. QF in the League Cup. Win the FACup. Deluded? The above answers that question.....
