Disco Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Couldn't give a shit as long as it's not Colback. And this. Tim hat well and truly on, but Colback probably wouldn't be an awful Championship captain. Still Jamaal for me by a country mile. Didn't know you were a Celtic fan.

54 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Siem would be perfect if he could play 8/10 games. But he can't, so it'll have to be Lascelles. Pretty much this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Rafa will give it to Lascelles. No doubt in my mind about that. I'm hardly ever right of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 It's nailed on Sissoko if he stays as it'll be part of the bargaining talk. If he goes then the fact that there's no obvious choice is the telling factor. Id hazard a guess and say De Jong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Really hard one. It is surely too soon for lascelles but he is the leading candidate by a mile. I guess much depends on Sissoko and wijnaldums futures. Think it has to be someone that is already at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Is there a rule out there that necessitates the presence of a so called 'club captain' We have one man in charge, his name is Rafa Benitez. This year is a chance for a few players to step up, wear the captain's armband when picked to do so, and prove that they can lead the cob going forward. Giving so much sway to a single club captain did not work out well for us in the past, we need to go back to when we had Nolan and half a squad of team captains.

Geordie Ahmed Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Easily Lascelles Although he hasn't played that many games and is still young he has shown he is more than capable of it. The way he stepped up towards the end of last season was so impressive The only issue I can see is if we sign a CB that will start ahead of Lascelles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving so much sway to a single club captain did not work out well for us in the past, we need to go back to when we had Nolan and half a squad of team captains. Pretty sure I read somewhere that Benitez likes to have a nominated player who does the bollocking for him. I'm pretty sure I read someone named as his Liverpool bollocker (not Captain Gerrard, someone Spanish, I think). Even if Lascelles isn't given the armband, he might be given this job.

LRD Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Lascelles out of the current lot, Siem does not play regularly enough to be considered. I wonder if there are any leadership credentials in Ritchie though. If Rafa brings in his own captain, then make Lascelles the deputy so he can eventually grow into the role.

mozy Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Lascelles out of the current lot, although would only really be mad at Janmaat, Wijnaldum, Sissoko or Cisse getting it. Head says he's yet to join though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 If we bring in an experienced CM who will start regularly there's an argument for it to go to them. Quite abstract at the minute with them being un-named, but Lascelles had already showed that he'll lead regardless; we'll get two for the price of one.

Keegan always said it didn't matter who was captain because a good side needed leaders all over the pitch and the dressing room. So as you say, whether Lascelles gets it or not is irrelevant. It would be good to encourage leadership amongst the entire playing and coaching staff so people can take initiative and make things happen. Pretty sure Rafa subscribes to this school of thought as well, as opposed to the King's reign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
