Mowen Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I voted Given - seems the logical choice to me. A captain is mainly symbolic imo, a real leader will lead whether or not they have the armband (see Gary Speed when Shearer was captain for evidence of this) - but we don't want to risk making a player difficult to drop as we did with Parker. What if we made Butt captain and he had a shit season next year? You either have to persevere with him or admit that you didn't assess the squad properly - Roeder did the former and it did anything but help us last year. The bottom line is that Shay is going to play every game when fit, and has been here for a long time - no-one will begrudge him the captaincy. If a real leader on the pitch emerges maybe they can have it next season or the year after. For me, Given is the common-sense choice for the time being.

Tom_NUFC Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Nicky Butt. I think Taylor may well have the makings of Captaincy material, but not yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest samtoonarmy Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I would choose Steven Taylor. He has proven that he is a leader of our back-line and I think he would make an excellent skipper for us. But the only problem is that he is a bit young and not very experianced but my second choice would be Nicky Butt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'd personally go for Taylor, think it could be great for him and the age debate isnt that big a deal as people make out at plenty of clubs have young captains, think its the experience which is more important And he's got loads of that to. Compared to say someone like Butt. John Terry was made Chelsea captain at 21 was that wrong? Wahey, Taylor and Terry. Awesome comparison. Terry at the age of 21 (which Taylor is) wasn't any better than Taylor is now to be fair. In fact i'd say Terry was more arrogant, made more mistakes (on and off the field) at that age. Didn't Terry nearly sign for Huddersfield when he was younger? I know what you-re getting at with the off the pitch thing - he was part of the Jody Morris crowd - but I don't remember him being owt special as a kid. Don't think he did owt until Raneiri and Desailly got their hands on him... Aye mate but in the end they couldn't afford the fee. Terry wasn't even a regular 3 years ago if I'm not mistaken.

STM Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Butt if hes in the first team, if not Barton. Have a feeling with all the media attention it may well go to Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 My vote's for newboy Claudio Capaca as he's been captaining Lyon for 5 years or so. That said, French and Portuguese won't be much use with our players or refs ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribble Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yes, but now we know most of the players we're going to be starting the seaon with, and sam did say before that he may still have to buy the player who will be his captain. I'd go for making nobby club captain, though as he is a good example but not certain to start every game. Still unsure who would captain the team on the pitch though.
