Tooj 17 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This may seem a bit of a surprise but I'd actually go for this man. At times this season he's been leading by example on the pitch and when a lot of our other players have hid he stood up to be counted. Yes he might not be the loudest of personalities on the pitch but it worked for Beckham. If not Ben Arfa then I'd give it to Cabaye. He has past experience of being a captain at Lille and is quite a determined character even if he can be petulant at times. (No different to Colo in that regard though) Also if anybody pipes up and mentions Taylor then I will actually despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4669 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Cabaye without a doubt (although we'll probably need another one in the summer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Jonas will probably assume the captaincy given the fact he's vice captain now, but I'd like to see Tiote given it, in the hope it helps his game back to 2011 standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1217 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think Cabaye. I always prefer it to be either central defender or midfielder, someone who's right in the thick of things and Cabaye lead Lille to the title as their captain.

sammynb 3342 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Probably best to give it to Stevie Taylor, at least he will still be here after we are relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 32596 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Give the captaincy to Sammy. If he's anything like his kid we're stuck with the fucka for the next 12 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerbarton 24 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I say Cabaye. Stevie would injure himself putting the armband on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hatem or Cabaye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeris 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think Krul is one of the most mature guys in the club, despite of his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21757 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 must fancy his chances... i'd give it tiote, in an attempt to reduce his yellow and red card quota. jonas will probably get it, given he's deputy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 which means Jonas have to play, something he's shit at... No it doesn't. Alan Smith wasn't a regular when he was our club captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J, seriously it's not worth the energy it takes to respond to certain posters on here atm. Some people know the difference between a decent footballer having a bad spell and others just hurl their shit in the general direction of where they think it might stick.

Bictor 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Cabaye or Hatem. This team is more French than English, so it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ben Arfa is one of the best attacking talents in the league but a captain he is not given his temperament. Pards will give it to Saylor or Shola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21757 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 fucking shola man. can you imagine what state we'll be in if shola's the outstanding candidate to take overas captain after the window shuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pards will give it to Saylor or Shola. He's never shown any issues with his temperament whilst with us though. Seems to have really settled down and matured.

2bias 3 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Jonas is the vice and I wouldn't mind him getting it either to be honest. Outside bet would be S.Taylor for next season though, very passionate and knows what it means to wear the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Steven Taylor without a second thought. Nobody is more capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I guarantee most people who sit near me would give it to 'Stevie T' therefore it's the last thing we should do. Leadership has nothing to do with shouting "c'mon lads" and pointing occasionally at a random, unspecified area. My first reaction would be Cabaye given his experience and position but I quite like your Ben Arfa argument. He could, in theory, lead the team in the sense of driving the rest on by example. Ronaldo does it, Maradona did it and neither of them seem like obvious choices on the face of it. Also when has Ben Arfa's attitude been questioned when playing for us? I think it's too easy an argument to make and its not accurate imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30161 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Giving it to Steven Taylor could help to prevent a deepening of the divide between the French and Spanish speakers that we've invented today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Jonas would only be a short term appointment. There's not many in the squad older. Hatem and Krul are the long term quality I'd like us to retain and to see thrive with the responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
