nick76 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Just now, AshVilla said: I can't see him being captain for long. Well Gerrard is unlikely going to change him for a couple of seasons at least so I have to assume you don’t think Gerrard will last long in the job and the new manager will change it?

Herman22 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Wow! I came here for some light relief and it seems Stevie G has named Danny Drinkwater as our new captain! As much as many don’t like it, McGinn is an absolute nailed on starter in our team right now. I hope the signing of Kamara will give him a bit more freedom to get forward where I think he’s more effective. I’m disappointed that Mings has lost the armband but SJM gets my full backing. Top pro and top lad! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Also the Captaincy might inspire McGinn on to another level of performance. It did wonders for Jack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Henderson at Liverpool And when comparing the competition Mings has to that McGinn has. Mings definitely has the more competition for his place This is McGinn we're talking about though. Gerrard is already in love with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen_Evans Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Might this be similar to Dean Smith's approach with that other fellow who used to captain us? Using the responsibility to get more from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Feels a bit harsh on Mings but I’m delighted for McGinn, not many footballers I like as people but I love this kid! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Its funny as other clubs fans, pundits, other managers and players all seem to love McGinn Only people who don't are some of the Villa fanbase. Perhaps not exciting or foreign enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 If this happened 2 seasons ago everyone would have been delighted. Hope Captain McGinn can prove everyone wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not exciting or foreign enough. Or good enough to play a role in an area we’ve struggled in for 3+ seasons. Other fans love Mcginn because he throws himself about the pitch and does the odd turn, Saturday was a perfect example of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
