Guest DavB93 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Just wondering who is going to be the club captain if as expected Parker leaves for West Ham, I would of said Given but not keen on a goalie been captian and always think it should be an outfield player.

Guest johnson293 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think it may be Butt - I can see Sam trying him as his 'Gary Speed' up here. A Bit Ironic really!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Butt Solano Given Tea Lady In that order. Anyone who thinks Owen needs to be shot.....with a harpoon gun... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Solano for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Shay if you ask me. The only consistent performer at this club. And he has a great attitude. Disgusted he was overlooked by Stan in favour of Robbie Keane at international level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DavB93 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Solano or Butt have a good chance, I can see Sam giving it to Owen though sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 It needs to be someone that Sam thinks is experienced enough, with decent leadership qualities, but who will also play regularly - will Solano fit into that last category? Of the current squad I think only Nicky Butt is the natural candidate - unless/until he buys anyone else (Nolan?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Butt for me. Owen wouldn't make sense, a captain only playing 10 games doesn't work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guinness Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'd give it to Nicky Butt, he's pretty much got all the qualities you need in a captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnson293 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Taylor Too young/Inexperienced TBH It'll be the new boy from Citeh. I did think that, but I guess he'd have to prove he can control himself first, on and off the pitch. Wouldn't rule him out for next season, or after though.

Lemmy Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Butt for me, really liked his attitude last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Its a sad situation but i'd rather give it to Barton over Solano who should be used as back-up only next term, Given who can't communicate with his own defense properly nevermind a whole team, Owen who is a cunt & Taylor who is way too young and bullish. Butt is probably the leading candidate, but if both him and Barton had been at the club the same amount of time, Barton would be the 1st choice for captain, so should effectively one decent season from Butt allow him to be captain? My problem, so i'd probably go Barton for a fresh start and new ideas, it should also give him a huge boost and hopefully keep him in line and leave his problems behind him for good.

madras Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 shay given....for his testimonial season. if you're looking for a leader,a true leader will do that regardless of wether he has an arm band or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellious Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Would rather wait to see who we bring in defense. If we bring in an older player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I am not a big fan of a keeper being Captain but we have to give it to Shay, with Barton in the middle no fker will get the chance to slack anyway but Shay deserves that armband!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 How do people expect Given to organise a team, when he can't organise a defense? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Taylor Too young/Inexperienced TBH He's a natural leader in my opinion you can't teach that, most people say Given but if you look for inspiration you wouldn't look to Given and add to the fact hes a goalkeeper is another factor against him. Butt/Taylor for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Good drilling and coaching organise a defence. Goalkeeper can only do so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 How do people expect Given to organise a team, when he can't organise a defense? Was about to point out the same. You never hear him shout at the defence except when there's a corner and he'll shout "head away". Not captain material for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 How do people expect Given to organise a team, when he can't organise a defense? tbf we didn't give him alot to work with. I still wouldn't make him captain mind, he's not the right guy, I don't think he could organise a team. I'd give it to Butt, then Solano, then Barton, then I'm running out of options.
