What is the point? I ask, as if you just give it to the oldest, most experienced guy, or to just keep them happy, then it is just ceremonial. I would argue that our Captain has been ceremonial for as long as I can remember.
Hugo, Kane, son.
I think we need to buy a Captain. This person doesn't need to be the best player, but they need strength of character. For me, a central midfielder or Centre Back who isn't going to take any rubbish from anyone.
I know this man probably doesn't exist, but someone like a Keane, Bruce, Gerrard, etc
I want rows on the pitch about why that cross came in or why did you lose your man.
At Rangers, Doggie just let a cross come in and he didn't even raise a leg to try to stop it. Not a word tom anyone.
The only balla kin t I have sent is Vicario having a go a Bergs, which I had an issue with as he is quite as a mouse to Romero etc.
I would love suggestions of who we could buy to fill this role.
Cheers
The Point of a Captain

Kulu ticks the boxes out of current crop
Can’t stand Maddison being anywhere near it …..too inconsistent
Captains should at least be getting involved in games ….even if having an off game the drive to be involved should be there and Maddison doesn’t have it ….passenger when having an off day
I’m convinced Romero doesn’t want to be here ……we don’t let valuable players get this close to contracts running down without offering new ones , I reckon he has said no

I don't think we currently have one. We need someone who will make the others rise. I like Kulu, but not him, wrong position.
Midfield general. Disagree that you can't buy one in. Like management in other walks of life, you don't always promote from within.
Who is the toughest son of a b in CM out there at the moment?

Don't disagree, but there must be someone out there.
Appreciate he could not play as he did back then, but a player a bit like Vinny Jones. I'm not saying Vinny Jones. Not especially technically gifted, but determined and pushes people to go above and beyond.

"Chelsea don’t have it, they are just riding the crest of a wave at the moment. They’ll win the euro mick as they are ridiculously overpowered in that comp, but won’t haul Liverpool in for the title."
There is traction to donate this to your club when we win it
What do you think...how offended would you be
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you win it this year then I will leave the site for good after admitting you are the greatest Chelsea fan that ever lived.
More chance of Daniel Levy realising he is a khunt this Xmas than Chelsea winning the title.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I meant the Euro Mick you mug....ðŸ¤
Although Liverpool are doing a good job of handing it to us today so far

You can’t really just buy a captain, they need the respect of the dressing room otherwise they are just a moaning khunt.
You look at City, if KDB says something the rest are listening, I don’t care if he is captain or not, they just will because he has walked the walk as well as talking the talk.
VVD and Salah at Liverpool - Allison as well, players are listening to these guys.
Arsenal don’t really have anyone, it’s partly why they never quite get over the line - you know they have a schitt result in them.
Chelsea don’t have it, they are just riding the crest of a wave at the moment. They’ll win the euro mick as they are ridiculously overpowered in that comp, but won’t haul Liverpool in for the title.
Spurs and United - no leader and collectively no backbone.
The lad i could see developing into that player is Archie Gray, just something about this guy, he shys away from nothing and plays like he is 28 not 18
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Archie gray has got 10 years of development before anyone could consider him a "captain".
The right player for the job, right now, is SON.
And if Son is out, then Romero.
Or Maddison.
Those are the options .
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Son is finished
Romero wants out
Maddison can’t hold down a regular spot.
The others are right, it has to be Kulu.
I just think Gray will grow into that guy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Son is not finished.
Romero has just published a sparkling assessment of Ange. He says he's definitely IN.
Maddison seems to be playing every match.
Gray... far too young and maybe gone before he's ready, if ever.
