GM Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Parker's an embarrassment to the very word "captain" let alone the club. Absolutely lacking in authority, leadership, ambition and determination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I would give it to Taylor, like George Graham did when he took the captaincy off England's left back at the time & he then gave it to a very young Tony Adams. As for Given he has never spoke to his defence in 10 years, so not sure leadership is his gig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 wtf? Taylor? The lads still a liability and hasn't even put in half a decent season in the Premiership. As much as I think he is over-rated I'd give it to Shay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I think Taylor (whilst still having a LOT to learn) would benefit massively from the captaincy. It would help him move on to the next level imo. He talks to the other players, which is a fucking start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Monkey Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 We might as well have just given it to Shay. He has been here for ages and he is an inspirational player for us at least. I know it's not ideal to have a goalkeeper as captain as outfield players are better but when you consider our other options ... just cos he's been here years, he should be captain?? the fact that he has proven himself incapable of controlling and inspiring the back four, never mind the whole team, is a bit more relevant i think.

I was talking about who can inspire our back 4 at newcastle with the like of Ramage,Bramble,Carr,Babayaro From the people which you mentioned i think only Schmeichal would have done it.

stozo Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 My personal opinion is Taylor should be made club captain. Firstly he is one of our better players and secondly he is a Geordie. Now before I get my tin hat out I use the Geordie reason as he is Geordie and seems to give 100% committment in every game, and for that reason the vast majority of fans will let him off when it comes to criticism and I think as has been shown with Parker this season the role and criticism that comes with it, if your name isn't Alan Shearer, is too big for anybody who isn't extremely popular within the club. For me unless Speed returns it has to go to Taylor as no other player we currently have is able to perform to the level needed and can take the criticism.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 As a squad member I'd maybe think about it a la Lee Clark, but there's no way he's better than Butt in that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Load of balls. People criticise Parker cos he's shit, not cos he isn't Alan Shearer. And Taylor never 'escapes all the criticism'... a belief many are infatuated with on here. The ones with braincells have a go at him when it's justified, just like any other player.

stozo Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 For me Nicky Butt already seems very vocal and in the long term I can't see him being here for more than 2 years. I'd rather have Taylor who could well be Captain for the next decade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
