the point of the captain is to have someone to complain about when you're in a bad run of form

Burgess, Blanchflower, Mackay, Perryman, Mabbutt or Roberts if they are available.

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

For United, Bruno does an awful lot of organising.
He leads the press and is the one who when the ball goes dead is ensuring that the players are in the right positions.

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.

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 .

Yeah, Sarr is our best bet then
Davies - too old, possibly his last season
VDV - he can be captain of the physios room
Romero - doesn’t want to be here
Dragusin - not with that haircut
Bentancur - bit of bother with Sonny this year rules him out
Bissouma - either doesn’t want to be here or has become rubbish - possibly both
It would have to be Sarr.

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 .

Nope, he doesn't act like the captain we need.

The point of a captain is so much more than during a match. Setting the tone and culture in the dressing room and training pitch, making sure new players and young players are not isolated and yeah, being a trusted 2-way conduit to the manager. Ideally a home grown academy graduate with 100s games under their belt and ideally a CDM or CB - positions that by their very nature seldom make mistakes for it to be cast up. Keepers are too far from the action, forwards by the nature of that position take risks and make mistakes. Above all it has to be someone you can't fault for lack of effort.

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.

Me too. Obviously soon now, but depending on your age you might remember Will Carling being made England Rugby Captain at 22
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, it’s probably too early at this point, but a couple of years from now - the boy is more composed than most our squad. Prior to Thursday night he had reclaimed possession more than any other player in the Europa league so far - he is special, in a couple of years people will be talking about that £40m fee as an absolute bargain

the point of the captain is to have someone to complain about when you're in a bad run of form

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

Me too. Obviously soon now, but depending on your age you might remember Will Carling being made England Rugby Captain at 22

The point of a captain is so much more than during a match. Setting the tone and culture in the dressing room and training pitch, making sure new players and young players are not isolated and yeah, being a trusted 2-way conduit to the manager. Ideally a home grown academy graduate with 100s games under their belt and ideally a CDM or CB - positions that by their very nature seldom make mistakes for it to be cast up. Keepers are too far from the action, forwards by the nature of that position take risks and make mistakes. Above all it has to be someone you can't fault for lack of effort.

Yeah, Sarr is our best bet then
Davies - too old, possibly his last season
VDV - he can be captain of the physios room
Romero - doesn’t want to be here
Dragusin - not with that haircut
Bentancur - bit of bother with Sonny this year rules him out
Bissouma - either doesn’t want to be here or has become rubbish - possibly both
It would have to be Sarr.
Kulu does give the ball away a lot, his stats for losing the ball are wild

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 .

Nope, he doesn't act like the captain we need.

Yeah, it’s probably too early at this point, but a couple of years from now - the boy is more composed than most our squad. Prior to Thursday night he had reclaimed possession more than any other player in the Europa league so far - he is special, in a couple of years people will be talking about that £40m fee as an absolute bargain
