Guest samtoonarmy Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Steven Taylor should be captain. Yes he isn't experianced but he is a good leader and I think he would make a great captain for NUFC. Shay Given would also be a goos captain, however because he is in goal, he is quite far away from some of the players so that has to be one of the factors why we shouldn't give it to him. Other than that, Shay Given would also make a goos skipper for NUFC as well as Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ryunufc Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 new at the club, but IMO viduka would be a good choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Given's the only guaranteed automatic starter, so it'll be him; not that i consider him a very good Captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Given's the only guaranteed automatic starter, so it'll be him; not that i consider him a very good Captain. Actually his communcation skills are poor..but he might be the only real option we have for captin at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Well, judging by the quotes, it's clearly Babayaro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Given's the only guaranteed automatic starter, so it'll be him; not that i consider him a very good Captain. Exactly. As for it not mattering if the captain is an automatic starter or not Mick, howay man, it'd be canny ridiculous to have a club captain who plays a "bit part" role in the first eleven although I know there are a few teams who've done it in the past. Just doesn't make sense to me though. The captain should be the figurehead/mainstay of the team and should ideally be there in every situation that the team finds itself in. It wouldn't be as much use having our club captain on the bench/in the stands, even if he was better at the job whilst on the pitch. Given, barring last year, has been almost ever-present for us and is one of the longest serving players on the books - as well as being a model pro and having English as his first language. Obviously he's held back a bit by his position and his apparent lack of communication skills, but in the dressing room you'd imagine he's one of - if not the most - respected blokes at the club. Short-term he's the best option for me. As much as we need to, I'm not sure if you can buy "captains" - especially not good ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 It'll be a bit of a surprise if he's still here next season mate, let alone as club captain! His first-team status is far from determined as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest khyberpass Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I'd vote for "none of the above". Given too quiet. Owen - not sure of commitment, or ability to play 2/3rd of games, Butt - a good call but is he 1st team; Taylor - too young; If rumours of a Campbell/Hyppia character coming in are true, they would be the perfect club captain... Otherwise - the Duke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 The only realistic suggestions so far are Given and Viduka. None of the others are guaranteed starters including Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 what does a captain do ? those that are leaders will lead regardless of an armband. sometimes giving the captaincy to a player fires/inspires them (beckham) or matures them (cantona),we have a leader too immature(taylor) and little else. viduka could be an interesting choice..captaining aus at the minute and with a reputation for going missing....would the arm band "inspire him"?
