Ronaldo Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Bobby did the same thing. Insisted the players wouldn't do in on a matchday and get booked if they refrained in training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Can actually see Sissoko or Tiote getting it. I'm really hoping McClaren and the new coaches can get Tiote back to his best or near it. The way he turns into danger, holds the ball too long etc are all stuff that can pretty easily be coached out of him. Something the incompetent t***s who went before never realised, unsurprisingly. Don't think he'd strip Colo of it tbh. He'll just wait a season until he goes imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Wants away, never speaks, crumbles under pressure, doesn't trust his teammates. Dat choice. The ugly truth. He only became captain for want of an alternative, and the team has sorely lacked leadership on the field. Trouble is, it would be difficult to hand the role to someone else, whilst Colo is still in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 You look for leadership from more than just your captain, and Janmaat and de Jong aside, we haven't got a whole lot of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If youre looking from that perspective it's janmaat by a mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Aye, for what it's worth Janmaat would be my choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Janmaat all day long, even more so with the ever increasing dutch contingent! As good as Siem or Georginio might be as well Janmaat deserves it IMO. Colo has been in decline for sometime now and could leave at the end of the season - time to think for the future. He might even play better with no armband on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 On balance Janmaat aye, with assistance from De Jong. It's my biggest hope for the season that De Jong stays fit, I think he's class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'd be surprised if Colo got stripped of the captaincy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's a lot easier to strip Coloccini of the armband now than it would have been with Jonas and Enrique here. Depends on Coloccinis standing with the players. You have to take into account he's going to be starting every game when fit too. From McClarens point of view, I'd let him keep it but then say to the others that they should display leadership also as the captaincy is up for grabs in the near future.

TRon Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Unless we buy another centre back, Colo is still going to be first choice so I don't see why McClaren would be stripping him of the armband. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I like the idea of captains who actually have won something and communicate. McClaren should be looking at this pre season and thinking clearly of who he wants to make the face of this club internally and externally. De Jong and Janmaat stand out for me. If Sissoko didn't have 1 step out the door, I'd throw him in there, but I've got the feeling Wijnaldum will come in and absolutely boss the place too.

KaKa Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yes, nice that we are looking at signing a captain that just won the league in Wijnaldum. Pretty cool. Between him, De Jong and Janmaat we have some strong looking characters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 He does have to be careful with Colo though, assuming he's our number one CB still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If we sign one highly rated centre back. I would look to jettison Coloccini immediately. Sick of his silly face. In all honesty I wish we would sign two top centre backs and rid ourselves of Colo, Willio and Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Completely agree, just saying it's a consideration for a new manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 He does have to be careful with Colo though, assuming he's our number one CB still. He hopefully won't be by the end of the window. We absolutely have to get a commanding centre back in, otherwise signings elsewhere won't mean anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'd rather sign 2 CBs and let Colo actually earn his spot, and if he fails, sit pine or get sold. We had fucking MYM man...bahhhhhhhhhhhhh i hate Pardew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 From Schteeve's perspective, might be better to leave Colo for his last season (not piss anyone off) and then give it to Wijnaldum after he's settled in for a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
