CaliMag Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Ozzie's right. I would favour Nobby because he is a good communicator (significantly better than Given and the mute Butt), currently our best set piece artisan (god forbid we would have someone else take penalties), and is immensly popular among supporters (If things go wrong he won't be booed off of the pitch and crack under pressure which happened to Parker)... but then how many games is he expected to start next year? And I would not want to go the Roeder route and play him every game even if Geremi and/or Milner are clearly better. I would feel comfortable of Nobby over Carr every time though if Big Sam is not planning on having Geremi there. My vote would be for Solano and Given with Given wearing the armband when Solano doesn't play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I watching Spurs vs. Newcastle from December 06 earlier today and saw a lot of leadership in Nobby. He was very vocal and was pointining the players in the right dirctions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ridzuan Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Big Sam should wait till Viduka return before deciding who should be the captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Solano if he is a regular starter... Barton mabye after a while.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian-Geordie Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 wow I must vote on this poll, that was started on JUNE 6th fucking amateurs tbh Why the fuck do you care to be on this forum if it is a bunch of amateurs? BTW you haven't told us who yo think should be captain yet. You've just whined about how your poll was deleted, and you say I can't make up my mind, so can you?

Optimistic Nut Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Given as club captain and an outfield player as team captain. A bit like when Chelsea had Dennis Wise as club captain and Desailly team captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShearMagic Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I personally voted Given. Has given (no pun intended) a great 10 years service to the club, and is very experienced. My second choice would be Nobby, has always struck me as a bit of a leader tbh. I think they are the only two I would pick atm. Steven Taylor - While I love him, he's not old enough, nor does he have the experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest samtoonarmy Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I think Steven Taylor. Hes a good leader of the back four and although he isnt experianced, I think he is a good role model on and off the pitch and he is very determined. But I would also go for Shay Given. He is a fantastic goalkeeper - the best in Europe - and he is very experianced. The only problem with Given is that he plays in goal and he is a away from the other outfield players, apart from the defenders. Id be happy with Taylor or Given - both would make good captains.

Guest Alan_Shearer Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Not a clue why people are voting for Butt... 1) He's crap 2) He's never shown any leadership skills, he just goes about his business 3) He ain't even gonna get a game...a captain is a starter for every game...

Guest Ian Cunningham Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Not a clue why people are voting for Butt... 1) He's crap What on earth are you on about? Did you actually watch any of last season - he was one of our better performers by far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WalkervilleMag Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Steven Taylor for me, think it will do him the worl of good in his growing up. Would of said Nobby, but i have the feeling he will just be a bit part player next season under Big Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Not wise, imo. However he looks the most regular starter of all the candidates so it seems the obvious choice - Shay Given not being captain material in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Will make him as a player imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 i dont think taylor would be a bad choice at all. it seemed to bring john terry on leaps and bounds when he was given the honour at chelsea, and could have a similar affect on tayls. i still think it could be owen though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Invicta_Toon Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 what a fucking stupid decision and what the fuck is this about? Newcastle’s hierarchy are delighted at the prospect of a return to the days of a Geordie skipper, with Taylor set to follow in the footsteps of Alan Shearer.

Yorkie Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Will make him as a player imo. How can he lead a team when he can't even lead a defense? Sam seems intent on nurturing the raw talent that Taylor has; the lad has potential as a defender, more than anyone that this club has had in a lot of years, but he's 21. And Sam's method is spot on; i'd be confused if Taylor became Captain. Tayls needs someone telling him what to do, before he can start telling others, imo. If Butt were an automatic starter, he'd be the blatant choice. If Butt wasn't a regular starter, then Barton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 And, regarding the decision, the fact that he is a Geordie will have absolutely fuck all to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WalkervilleMag Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Taylor does not need somebody telling him what to do, he needs to be able to concentrate on his own game, not having to also worry every time Bramble or Moore or Boumsong gets the ball in there own half.
