Yorkie Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clarkyshan Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 steven taylor. anyone watching a match at sjp can see his leadership quailty is head and shoulders above anyone else. but i got the feeling barton has been promised it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Morph Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Why the fuck should we give it to Taylor? "Other clubs have young captains" isn't a fucking argument. Other clubs play choons after goals are scored, so hey, lets try that. Why not? Other clubs do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Joey Barton. So he can smack Dyer a few times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Out of the players already here i'd say it's between Given, Taylor, and Solano. I'd wait to see who we bring in first though before coming to a decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically shares all the weaknesses that the other 3 have, he's too quiet like Given, he's too rash and prone to the odd mistake like Taylor, and his place in the team isn't assured like Solano. Not a good candidate IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peter.Sthlm Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 My first choice is either Butt or a new experienced CD coming in (who posses the right atributes). If that doesn't happend I think Barton could be an option. Btw doesn't any one think Viduka is an option if Owen or Martins leaves? I would rather have him as captain then Given, Solano or Taylor if Owen or Martins would leave the club. I think Taylor is still too young, Given not beeing the right type of GK for beeing a captain (if he would have been more like Kahn I wouldn't mind him being the C) and Solano may only have one year left at the club and is not a guaranteed starter. Viduka on the other hand would be a regular first team player, has the experience, the winning mentality and seems to be a good team mate. He is probably not the best of captains out there but I think he should be put infront of the three players I just mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Viduka isn't even going to be with the team at the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good candidate IMO. who would you have then? Its a tough one: (In brackets who applies imo, although Barton is obviously hard to rate) Of high ability, always 1st team choice and one of our better players. (Given, Taylor, Barton) Respect of players & staff (Given, Butt, Solano) Respect of fans (Given, Solano, possibly Butt & Taylor) Vocal with players. (Barton, Taylor, Butt) Vocal off the pitch with media and fans. (Given, Taylor, Butt) Motivator. (Taylor, Butt & Barton) Able to handle pressure. (Butt, Given, Solano, possibly Barton) Ability to organize and think quickly. (Solano, Butt, possibly Barton) Positioned in the field where he can see everything and communicate with everyone. (Barton, Butt, Taylor) likely to still be here in 3 or more years (Given, Barton, Taylor) Calmness and professional (Given, Solano, possibly Butt) No one ticks all those for me, however Barton gets closest, he needs time to win over the fans and new team mates, if this was a year down the line he'd probably be perfect.

Guest nufcandy Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 i think butt is one of the better players in the squad, he was last season anyway and i think hes earnt the respect of fans lately.....he is the man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I think Nicky Butt is too quiet to be a captain....by all accounts (both at Man Ure and here) he's the quietest member of the squad and I'd prefer somebody who is a shouter that will bollox the rest of the team if they're not pulling their weight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Didn't we already do this? Solano-Butt. Co-captains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 It's interesting that Allardyce mentioned the possibility that the captain might be someone who's not yet at the club. It sounds like he's aware that there's no obvious candidate at the moment. In the absence of any other choice, I'd go for Butt, but he's a bit quiet and may have difficulty holding down his place.
