    Are you actually serious about Ben Arfa as captain? He doesnt even speak English.

    Seems a little odd to award somebody who has played less than 5 games and spent most of his club career in another country the captain armband no? So there'll be lots of French players; he can lead them whether he is captain or not - just as you propose Taylor and Barton can in their respective positions.

    Carroll was our Talisman but he wasn't captain, your argument is pointless.

    What are you getting at? We dont have Cattermole and Ben Arfa would only be able to talk to 3 other players on the pitch. English is the common language of our team, the captain needs to speak it.

    And you have to actually argue on here, thats the whole point of it.

    I know that we have just signed Cabeye and am not expecting him to be captain this season but his interviews have been very captain-esque and the fact he wants to be here, learn English and build our side strikes me as our potential future captain

    right, so someone who has played zero games and you have never seen play in the premierleague is now above someone who has made a few appearnced, knows all the players and has lived here for a year, hmm contradictory

    You'll find that it was me who suggested Cabeye and I suggested after another season - Colo was just stating that Cabeye was captain for his last club who won their league
