David28 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Who should be our new captain? That's what Hughton has said about it: “Nicky Butt has gone now and the captaincy is available.” “Nicky didn’t play as many games as he wanted last season, and so we had various captains, including Alan Smith, Steve Harper, Kevin Nolan and Fabricio Coloccini.” “These are all characters that have played in his league before, and Alan and Steve have been at the club for a number of years now.” “It’s another decision that will be made in pre-season, but I can rest easy knowing there are plenty of candidates for the job.” “It’s not just about one vocal point on the pitch, but you need somebody to lead the way.” I personally don't want Smith or Nolan as captain because it would mean that they would start pretty much every match. Don't want Harper either, because he's a keeper. And I'm not too sure about Coloccini as well. I'd might just give it to Barton as he seems like a player who is always talking to others while playing. Problem, of course, he won't be playing that much.

Amir_9 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Nolan, seems like hes going to play a massive role for us next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Not Smith. I don't mind Nolan, he's an experienced captain at PL level and if he shifts a bit of timber in pre-season I can't see why he wouldn't be efective in the right system. If not him then Colo or Jose. Leading by example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ7 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Someone else. Colo is the only one really good enough for the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Nolan, seems like hes going to play a massive role for us next season. Im convinced he'll chip in with some goals, probably 4-5, its not him who im worried about, even tho there are massive question marks over his fitness and performance in the Premier League.

If he's our attacking CM and Smith is our holding CM we'll get shat all over from minute 1! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 It should maybe be Colo, if it's the type of thing that will bring the best out in him, but I think it'll be Harper, and I wouldn't have much of a problem with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Knowing Hughton it will most likely be Smith, since hes made him captain every time hes played basically ahead of Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Harper or Taylor. Only 2 that make even a little bit of sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 nolan, the impression I got over the season was he was the leader among the players and he's been a prem club captain before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Barton, or Taylor id agree with. Nolan would be alright if hes gonna be playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Kevin Nolan. We joke about his weight but he has a big voice in the dressing room and lots of Premiership experience. His goals were a big factor in promotion and I feel like he can be relied upon to at least try his hardest every match. Potentially a good leader, inspires others.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I'd be tempted to give it to someone who is more than just blood and thunder... so not Barton or Smudger. Really don't know what Colo is like personality wise. Probably Nolan, maybe S Taylor if he's actually going to play (or not be sold). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 We need someone who can lead by example, and not just "a big voice" in the dressingroom. I say it again: Jose Enrique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Nolan, from the realistic options. He's still not good enough for the Premier League though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
