Hate keepers being captain. They're not involved enough. Needs someone who's in the refs ear all game

Gigi Buffon - World Cup Winner as captain

Oliver Khan - World Cup Winner as captain

Iker Cassillas - World Cup Winner as captain

Dino Zoff - World Cup Winner as captain

 

Kind of quashes that theory...

The responsibility of a captain is to be vocal, lead by example and take the game by the scruff of the neck when needed. Isn't it coming in soon that only a captain can speak to the referee? If so then that means it's got to be an outfield player.

 

Tom Lees is not vocal enough for my liking.

Sam Hutchinson is the best candidate out of who's at the club already.

 

I'd be interested to see who we bring in over the Summer who can fill that role.

No really, especially when you look at who they had in front of them.

Course it does. The biggest prize going in football has been lifted by a lot of Goalkeepers proving that Goalkeepers can make excellent captains

I think too many are writing Glenn off.

 

Still our best CB. 

 

If he does take a back-seat I don't see a natural captain among our side, other than Westy.

 

Hutch is not available enough.

I've not even got round to this. Absolutely bang on the money. Look back over the last 2 years at threads at the start of the season claiming they want Loovens replaced. They all then come back with their tail between their legs when Loovens gets injured to say how much we miss and that Tom Lees isnt as good without him etc etc. 

 

Its excellent

I'd have Hutch but according to some of you lot, our player of the year won't even be in the team next season.

No one is writing him off, obvious that we require more competition at the back, to cover injuries.

You called him 3rd or 4th choice

 

That classes as writing him off as captain, and possibly as a player.

This. I love Hutch but you need a cool head as captain. Lees is a bit reserved for me and Westwood is too far removed from most of the action. I'd stick with Loovens myself - if he's on the bench, I like the idea of Wallace as replacement skipper, actually. I bet he could get inside the ref's mind by half-time...
