bickster Posted August 4, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2011 You missed Stephen Ireland. I'm sure you're taking the piss, so I won't bother. If you want to come up with a convincing case for him I'll consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Because N'Zogbia is a guaranteed starter - but saying that no way should/will he be captain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackneyVillain Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I voted Given however I do think that too much is made of the captaincy in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steaknchips Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 The way forward is chosing Clark..Old head on young shoulders..People easily forget his drive when he got the equaliser against City and his 2 x Goals against Arsenal.. A player Fergy has his eye on and for Villa to move forward these players should be ones now coming to the front... Backwards is picking Petrov or Dunne.

flatty Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Petrov gets my vote just as he had my backing in the other thread. He has moments of quality and is a steady eddy in the most part. I cant see any other players in our squad at the minute who would be any better wearing the armband. Maybe in 2/3 years with plenty of first team football and of course hoping they develop maybe Delph or Clark. I think theres a chance Mcleish will realise we need a defensive CM player and perhaps leadership quality will be one of the attributes he is looking for if he goes out to sign one in Jan/Summer. For now though I think Petrov will do a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark isn't and shouldn't a regular so shouldn't be picked as captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Darren Bent. He's miles better than anyone else in our team, does his job of scoring, sometimes helps out in other areas and no doubt he can lead a team in the Shearer mould. We need someone of real class to captain the side, not one of the cloggers at the back or the current incumbent, a guy who looks like he's going to have a heart attack after 60 minutes. Bent for captain! (it might also prolong his stay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I guess it does help if he starts more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 But the thing with Clark is that he's not yet a guaranteed starter. Our CBs are Dunne and Collins. Clark shouldn't play DM as I think he is less effective there. There is no way the captaincy should come from the midfield, as there is nobody there inspiring enough. Same with Upfront... Bent and Gabby are not captain material. So that leaves us with defence and keeper - Given is brand new and shouldn't be given it yet (plus I don't really like goalie captains) so that really only leaves us with Dunne. Which, I will be happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
