Jas10 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Who should or who do we think Unai will appoint as our long term captain next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Mings for me, leader on and off the pitch, model pro. However I think it would be a brave move to take it off McGinn now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Firstly, why does it have to be a long term captain? Secondly, I’d hope we wouldn’t make a change. McGinn has warmed to the role, he has respect from his peers. No point upsetting the team again. I would say club captain which was Ashley Young last yr, may go to someone else, but then I could still see McGinn do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn has looked the part under Unai and should go from strength to strength but… I’d still really like Martinez to take that armband… Not sure Mings will get a look in… even though he’s deserving… No decision was made on this, Unai said he would review it when he was appointed. He will have to decide ahead of the new season… Regardless, it’s great that we have such strong characters and positive personalities at the club who do a lot of work and project a positive image away from the pitch also… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted June 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2023 There was absolutely no need to take it off Mings, but now that it's done, and McGinn has warmed to it, I don't see a need to snub him by removing it again. Besides, Mings hasn't shrunk into himself. A leader doesn't need an armband. I'd expect him and Martinez to continue to step up as they have done even if McGinn remains captain. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and makes sense, we have a great “core” there… just a bit of fun and interested to gauge opinion. I’m intrigued to see what Unai’s plans are in every sense tbh, not just with transfers but how he wants to shape our team/squad and progress us. Such exciting times.

Absolutely where I’m at. Taking it off Mings was nuts, but the way Captain Meatball has stepped up under Emery, he might as well keep it now.

villan-scott Posted June 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2023 I don’t think it would be right to remove it from McGinn to give it back to Mings. Continue as we are with McGinn with the armband, but Mings will always lead anyway. McGinn has grown into it and showing great form since Emery came in. No need to change it again in my opinion.

Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted June 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2023 John McGinn deserves to be team captain. He leads by example as he gives 100% every match. His commitment can be inspirational to his team mates this coming season. Tyrone Mings should be made Club captain as that position has just been vacated by Ashley Young. He has the respect of our players and is a genuinely caring and likeable person. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Wow the difference a year makes. I still remember the meltdown when McGinn got appointed the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted June 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) It has to be said that Mings has been a better player once the role got taken off his plate, where Mcginn seems to have done the opposite. Id keep Meatball there as not to rock the boat again needlessly. Mings could take the club captain thingy off young.

gwi1890 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 No need to change it it’s just an armband not wearing it doesn’t mean Mings, Martinez or whomever can’t lead whilst on the pitch or dressing room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
