BOF Posted August 3, 2006 Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2006 Terry ? No. Way. Gerrard is a better player, a louder voice, more inspirational and he occupies a better part of the pitch and is more involved in the overall flow of a game. He is the perfect captain. He can organise and lead by example. He is everything I want in a footballer and I can't see why people want Terry over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Terry ? No. Way. Gerrard .... a louder voice, more inspirational .... how do you know this Brian? :? I would vote for JT for these very reasons. I just see him as the most "commanding" player in an England/Chelsea shirt every time i see him play. He seems to "own" the pitch, so to speak. I see JT very much as i used to view Donkey Adams, only JT is a better player IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant(aka_eddy) Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Terry ? No. Way. Gerrard is a better player, a louder voice, more inspirational and he occupies a better part of the pitch and is more involved in the overall flow of a game. He is the perfect captain. He can organise and lead by example. He is everything I want in a footballer and I can't see why people want Terry over him. It isnt about the 'best' footballer though Brian, otherwise it would be Rooney. They need to be good enough to be selected regularly, be able to read the game and influence their players. Playing CM or CD is also a bonus in helping them to do this. Ideally they'll also have a physical presence. Both SG and JT fit that category, both would be fantastic captains and both are young enough to hold the role for a decent amount of time. For me JT sneaks it as he's less involved in the action and has more time to view the game rather than running around and I dont agree Gerrard is a louder voice. He also has an edge to him....when he cut his leg against Man U and needed 10 stitches and had blood squelching out his boot...all he said was I carried on because I didnt want them to see i'd been hurt!

Downbutnotout Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 G.Neville - To much like beckham, not much passion on the pitch and not very vocal, a model proffesional yes and a good players but isnt a natural leader. Is this a joke? Gary Neville....passionless, quiet and not a leader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downbutnotout Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 He seems to "own" the pitch, so to speak. I agree with that. Terry has a presence which not many have. People like Vieira and Keane had it also in their pomps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 4, 2006 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2006 Judging by what McLaren has just been saying on SSN, I reckon Gerrard is his new captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheriffvilla Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 To me it would bring out the best of Stevie Gerrard, so I have opted for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I voted for Wayne, but only cos Trim wasn't in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Terry for me as well, although I think he has a bit of a wimpy voice! Gerrard as well.... and Lampard..... and Beckham certainly did. What's up with all these guys having light voices? Gary Neville certainly fits the bill as well when being fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x_villain Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 From Mediawatch: Stand By Your Man From the BBC website: 'England fans are split over who should become the new captain of the national team, according to a poll by the BBC Sport website and Radio Five Live. 'John Terry gained 51% of the votes, with Steven Gerrard polling 46%. 'Gary Neville was third with 2%, Frank Lampard polled 1% and former skipper David Beckham gained one vote.'
