How do you think Lloris measures up as a captain based on what you've read?
Lloris doesn't strike me as captain material, Harry Kane and perhaps Alderweireld are standouts.

I think the main reason Lloris was given the captaincy was to stop him leaving a few years ago. Probably not the best reason to make someone captain.
Kane seems to be the only 'leader' type in our squad imo

Lloris is captain and our only player whom knows how to win trophies.

Yes he is the standout for captain I think. Works hard and leads by example. If we could find away to give it to Kane instead of Lloris and keep Lloris happy that would be best I think.

Lloris is captain for France isn't he? Perhaps he's not such a bad choice after all!

Kane has many of the qualities in the book, but he's also the star player which is a big burden for one person.
The books shows examples of how it's a big mistake to give someone the captaincy to stop them leaving - Lloris? But then France did win the World Cup so maybe he has something we cannot see?
Wanyama has some of the player qualities but not sure about his communication. Could Winks or Dier raise themselves (after last Saturday Dier would have a mountain to climb on the ability front)!

on current form he shouldnt even be in the team.
davinson sanchez for captain
I think a big part is the fact that there is more tactics and intense coaching than ever before. ‘Man manager’ managers can afford a real leader/captain to have more of a power on the pitch than the ‘micro-managers’ like Pep/Tuchel who will literally sub you off if you don’t do as they say

Some of these comments....
Maybe we haven’t got enough leaders as such, but this notion that Lloris shouldn’t be captain because he’s not vocal enough is absolute nonsense. Look at this bunch here...

Only one man has the captaincy there. Do you honestly expect me to believe that Pearce, Ince, Shearer, Seaman and Southgate remained silent throughout the games like thieves in the night because they weren’t captain?
If you do, how does a player possibly stand out as captain material before he’s captain if he’s not supposed to show any leadership until he’s appointed? Pretty sure managers don’t draw a name out of a hat when naming a new one so this whole ‘Lloris is a crap captain’ notion is ridiculously flawed.
Yes, Lloris captained Wold Champions France.
The only other players in our team that might be considered for the job would be Vertonghen or Eriksen.
The question there is whether either of them would want the job.
I would not choose Kane. He's having a down turn in form ATM and that's enough to deal with.
Lloris fills the role well enough, but his recent drink driving conviction has lowered his stock somewhat.
Talking of Spurs captains, the great Ledley King was exactly what is needed.

Spurs do perhaps lack genuine leaders on the pitch.
Poch has to take some responsibility though. Asking his players to talk to cows about train timetables will be confusing for them
