following on from pervious threads and the hate this board apparently has for arguably england's best centre back john terry, who would you like to see cappello pick our new captain?
Gareth Barry, captain of his club team and working under one of the best managers in the game, I expect him to raise his game in the next couple of years and see him approaching the peak of his career as one of the most influential players in the country.
Good centre back yes, but the worst England captain ever. representes everything that is wrong with football at the moment. Demands to be the highest paid player, berates referees and sits back and allows his team mates to dive all over the place.
I honestly haven't a clue who else I would want as England captain. This is how low our game has sunk.
Can we have a foreign captain too?

Maybe Fabio will wait to decide, see the players first hand, have Beckham captain them for his 100th cap? Then appoint a permanent captain for the next game.
So the England captaincy should now be handed around like a sentimentel commerorative baubel for special occasions ? Kind of like one of those tacky "40 TODAY !" birthday badges that dangles limply off the lapel of a sad old has-been who's desperately trying to convince himself his life isn't already as good as over ?
Beckham shouldn't be anywhere NEAR the England squad in February. He cashed in those chips when He disappeared off into the BK Whopper Rodeo Premier Division. Add in the fact that the new season doesn't even start till April over there (so His Royal Beckness won't even had kicked a ball in anger for nye on 4 months by the time the Switzerland game comes round), and its a nonsense.
If Capello somehow see's fit to play that catwalk clothes horse in February, let alone hand him the armband, I will have severe misgivings over his early judgement, and may have to brand him henceforth as Fabio Crapello.
im quite shoocked that anyone would consider Ferdinand captain material, the only leadership he ever shows is when choosing which bar to go to.
