Nyff 0 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 From.com It's reported that Alan Pardew has appointed Fabricio Coloccini as United's new club captain in succession to last season's armband wearers, Alan Smith & Kevin Nolan. The Spanish-speaking centre half has been preferred to Joey Barton, seen as the natural candidate by many but entering the final year of his current contract and not always "on message" enough for his employers...

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 He had quite a few outstanding performances, has a lot of technical ability for a centre-half too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 877 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Always preferred a CB as captain. Colo is a good choice if it couldn't be Barton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentAxeman 175 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Always seemed like captain material to me. However, how is his mastery of english? (and French btw?) Good player who can hopefully lead by example! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippealbert 0 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 good choice, been here 3 years now so hopefully the english issue isnt an issue at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4716 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Kevin Nolan was a proper captain, Joey should have been the next captain and Colochini for me is a bit of a daft squib in this role. I am not too fussed because the "Captain" at times is just a symbol and I have no doubt it will still be Barton, barking instructions, geeing players along and dragging us back into games when it goes wrong.

StevieRoss 0 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 He'll have to toughen up if he's going to lead by example. Someone needs to show him some old videos of John McNamee and Norman Hunter playing CB. The forwards were scared of them, not the other way round...

If he played like them, he would hardly ever be on the pitch anyway in this day and age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6551 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Pardew: "Derek. I need a new captain. Who are you not going to sell this year?" Dekka "Well, Colo is on £80k pw so no other club will stump up that. Therefore we are stuck with him for another 2 years" Edited July 8, 2011 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
