maqroll Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure Ron Vlaar is our best choice for captain. He doesn't act like a captain, in fact he hardly seems to open his mouth at all. He doesn't lead by example on the pitch, either. IMO, Guzan, Weimann or Delph are better suited to wear the armband.

AndyBM Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 ive always believed that a captain should lead from the back, like a centre back or defensive midfielder, someone who can see the whole of play in front of them, and someone with experience, i dont agree with keepers being captains though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 We've made our choice of captain and vice-captain for the season. Changing it now is counter productive and does morale no good (ask Darren Bent). Next season we can change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mart-L7 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Luna should be captain just o pure entertainment value and bearded captains are always great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I have no problem Vlaar being captain, but it shouldn't mean he has to start.. Think Pl will be throng enough to drop him if required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 There isn't exactly anyone who you can argue would be a better captain then Vlaar. Guzan perhaps but I'm not convinced by GK captains. So he'll have to do for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Delph for me looks a standout leader his problem is staying fit and inevitable suspensions. Nathan Baker will be captain within 2 years if he can stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo69 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think we should find a Rob Vlaar, sign him and make him captain Delph is captain material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybofalbion Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Baker has always seemed very quiet to me ... i think Delph would be our best captin but must not forget our most experienced player Agbonlahor whose had the armband before.

troon_villan Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 There's not many I would call 'captain material' in the squad and therein lies the problem. A captain has to have a voice and presence and imo shouldn't be too young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some dont like goalkeeper captains but Real Madrid, Spain, juve and Italy have alway done ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesperchr Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Also Westy who has been a captain before. agree He seems like the type of player who can keep the team cool under pressure... and looks very stabil on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think Vlaar is a decent captain for now. Didn't he go all round bodymoor and introduced himself when he first signed for us? I guess that impressed Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Vlaar is fine imho. I also agree. Defenders or midfielders for me make the best captains just because of their positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaspg Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 agreed, and we want someone whos as close to a given starter as wel can, dont really see anyone but vlaar to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted August 25, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2013 Personally I think Vlaar's a good captain - he seems pretty vocal to me? Was straight over to talk to Baker (I think it was) when he scored an own goal towards the end of last season, and you see him going round all the players at the start of the game. I think Guzan is also captain material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
