club captain

butters, and if he goes then hinsh.

I agree with Easy 10. Butters was not able to rally the troops effectively in our relegation dogfight so I can't see how that would work 1 year on.

Oatway is captaincy material but especially after the injury there will be question marks about his form.

On the basis that your captain needs to be a first team regular and command respect McShane would have been a cert but next best is Hinsh.

We need to sign captaincy material. Dodd could have been that man but events have moved on.

El-Abd I think should be made captain.

 

[Wilka]

McGhee said Oatway would be getting a contact next season even after he got the injury!

 

[blockhseagull]

El-Abd hasn't really cemented his place yet, so from that list has to be Hinsh

 

[sully]

My next choice once Charlie moves on would be Hinsh.

 

[B.W.]

What is the point of this?... the club is on record saying Charlie WILL get a new contract... and I can't see him giving it the big I am in negotiations...

 

[Grendel]

Turienzo is quite clearly the only choice for captain.

 

[Loft23]

Adam Hinshelwood would be the obvious choice as Butters may not be a first team regular next season.

 

[philgull25]

ogh

 

[philgull25]

Turienzo is quite clearly the only choice for captain.

actually you have swayed me

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Charlie is NOT going anywhere

 

[Easy 10]

So in that respect. How do you stand on having Beckham as England captain? As has been said there are 'different' kinds of captain.

Never been keen on Beckham as England captain - its always struck me as more of a marketing ploy, as he's of far more value to his sponsors as England Captain then he is just as Englands right-sided midfielder. Changing the England captain would, of course, involve a Big Decision - something that Sven will usually avoid at all costs if it involves upsetting someone.

In terms of the Albion, we have a lot of young players just starting out in their 1st team careers, and they need real guidance. The Beckham "leading by example" thing will only get you so far - I'd rather have a vocal captain out there who's not just wrapped up in his own game. Ideally we need a midfield general or a central defender with natural authority and leadership skills, to direct and encourage those around him. Sadly such players do not grow on trees. Oatways ok (in a limited way), but Cullip was an absolute collossus as a captain, and played a MASSIVE part in getting us out of the 4th and 3rd divisions. We have no-one at the club in his ilk, and the team is all the poorer for it.
