So Sarri had said he knows who it is, but won't announce it yet and hasn't told the players. All seems abit strange to me, if it was going to be Dave full time im sure he'd have said by now but since he hasn't it makes me think it must be someone else. So who do we think ? Im think the only real options are hazard or Luiz, no one else stands out to me

Yes Sideshow but with our recent track record of signing not great offensive players,it is unlikely that Chelsea will win CL in the near future.We need rwo quality strikers but we don't even sign one and we are not going to win it any time soon!

Azpilicueta for sure, not that afro-muppet

If he's gunna play consistently I wouldn't mind giving it to Luiz.
He's been at the club the longest (just forget the two PSG seasons lol), he's got captaincy experience with Brazil (just forget the 1-6 Germany result lol).... nah but seriously, I've always been a fan of the captain being a CB and Luiz, in a way, has the commanding personality for it.
But tbf it's somewhat moot. If the captain's meant to be the managers figurehead on the pitch then it's Jorginho whether he's wearing the armband or not

Has to be Azipilicueta he is the embodiment of Chelsea. Gives 100 percent every game and class and I think will set a great example for years.

I'd go with Azpi but I wouldn't mind Hazard. He's the only international team captain in this side. Has stepped up his game for Belgium since becoming captain. Could see him taking more responsibility for us with the captains armband.

I can only imagine it being Azpilicueta.
The only scenario in which I think it'll be Hazard is if behind the scenes they've been speaking about his new contract and getting the armband is extra incentive to sign it.
Luiz, Fabregas and even Rüdiger have captains qualities but they are outside runners, It'll be Azpilicueta I'm pretty confident.

If it is Azpi...why would Sarri feel the need to "speak with the players and the club"?
No need to when he's already been the acting captain this season, under Sarri.
Azpi unlikely to be appointed permanent captain.

No way Sarri takes this long in the season to decide, for it only to be Azpi in the end.

Agree with this. There's nothing to say if the existing status quo is simply being continued.
