TRon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's the same s*** every time. I can handle the fact he can't keep up with the topics of discussion but implying and projecting an endorsement of Taylor or Williamson because I, along with pretty much everyone else, think Coloccini's a s*** captain. The lad must hear voices or something. Can't you answer a simple question? I asked who at present is an alternative to Coloccini assuming that Taylor and Williamson would be the natural alternatives. If you've got someone else in mind then go ahead and enlighten us. I suppose there's the right back turned centre back Dummett but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable giving him the job on a long term basis. For captain? Janmaat De Jong Krul Sissoko Even Colback and Anita ahead of Colo for me. For the captaincy I don't really have an opinion since I don't know which player commands respect in the dressing room. That should be for McClaren to decide, he should suss it out quickly enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 We've got a couple of players in the squad now that have actually led their team to some silverware. It's time to get serious with this and give it to someone who's got the right experience. de Jong might've been out a lot last season, but you can just tell he's the sort of guy that you want to have as a leading example to other players.

KaKa Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I mean Wijnaldum has just come in and already you just see the vibe off him is quality. Speaks well, is well liked, is very open ... you just know leadership when you see it. Don't know who ever decided to make Colo captain man. I mean I respect the guy's game, but it's probably hurt him being captain if anything. He doesn't carry that responsibility well at all. What has Colo ever said that has been of an significance. He's just a quiet dude on and off the pitch man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Of the present squad the only stand out I see as captaincy material is Janmaat. Can't really see how you could justify giving the captaincy to anyone else. Coloccini has been on a pretty sharp decline over the past couple of seasons and clearly isn't capable of lifting his team mates on the pitch which is part of the reason we've gone on these ridiculous losing streaks over the past couple of years and automatically lose any game we go 1-0 down in.

KaKa Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If we're going to be looking to play more possession football then I want Anita as the anchor to start the season. Coming off that West Ham performance, it's time to give this guy a proper chance in a team that is looking to play to his strengths. If he flops then so be it. But I don't want to see Tiote in there ahead of him. That guy is done man. As Kanji said De Jong absolutely has to be in there too. He has already had a season off, and so time for him to start doing something. He has a lot of making up to do, for both himself and that brother of his.

STM Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think we are seriously underestimating how good De Jong will be. Provided he stays fit. Him and Wijnaldum will be class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Front 6, for me: Anita Wijnaldum Sissoko De Jong Cabella Mitrovic I'm basically with this for the time being but I'd have Perez over Cabella.

KaKa Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Front 6, for me: Anita Wijnaldum Sissoko De Jong Cabella Mitrovic I like that. I want that Duth trio central. Sissoko has done well enough out wide, and in a team that moves the ball better can drift inwards occasionally too. Nice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm taking a punt on Cabella. If he has not improved after half a dozen games we should drop him. Perez would be first sub, every time for me. Have no qualms seeing the lad start either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I don't see any evidence that Mitrovic would be better than Cisse. He's only 20 like tbf but I'm sure Cisse would absolutely take the piss in the Belgian league if he was there. Or is it that people think it's likely that Cisse will leave?
