Our next club captain

[AL the gooner]

I dont know if other is any good, but I voted for him.

 

[pacstud]

Needs to raise his game first. Can't have a Captain who makes so many mistakes, we need someone who leads by example. If he does this then I wouldn't be against it.

If it amounts to playing better, than the spot should be vacant. Only PEA is worthy performance wise.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Definitely Ramsey, only other contender I see is Monreal but he's getting to the stage where we don't want to be relying on him as a starter.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Give it to the new GK, CB or CM that we buy. Doesn't matter as a fair few will surely be out the door in the summer.

 

[salvat]

None of the names on the list fill me with confidence with captaincy.

 

[HBL]

Xhaka or Ramsey but neither are guaranteed to be here next season so it’s a difficult one.

I’ll give it to Chiellini when he signs.

 

[GeorgiaGunner]

Ramsey is the best of a not-so-great lot, hopefully as a placeholder for a new, commanding CM or CB who immediately takes charge of the dressing room.

I agree but I voted for Wilshere on the basis that it is Ramsey's last year and if he's made captain he will leave on a free.

It may be the new man brings a real experienced sidekick over (Chiellini? Brown?) and makes him captain.

 

[rich 1990]

Voted Mustafi. Who better to set the example of how not to do your job.

 

[Red London]

Poverty list of potential captains.

 

[Red London]

Need our captain to be a new signing tbh. Shows how weak minded //injury prone our squad currently is.

Mert was a good captain but was quite a dodgy player for us. Kos wasnt a leader. Ramsey would be a decent shout but hes injury prone and he's not exactly the best player in the league is he.

I'd love us to sign a very serious CDM , GK or CB and give one of them captaincy. Fresh start.

 

[SpookyDukey]

We seem to have some sort of hoodoo whereby whoever we make Captain then goes on to leave us (see Gallas, Fabs, Verms, Arteta, Mert). While Wilshere has his faults he’s the one guy you can say with confidence he will stay at Arsenal until he’s kicked out. I’d take him a Captain purely because he’s an out and out Arsenal guy. I don’t see anybody else within our squad who stands out as a natural leader. Giving it to Pea or anybody else brought in for next year is too soon and might bode badly with longer term players. Hopefully one of the new additions will be a natural leader who we can integrate as captain within a few seasons.

 

[Ricardinho]

I think Chambers has it in him to one day be a captain but whether that's here or elsewhere time will tell.

 

[Cudareli]

Harry Maguire.

Geez I'd love for this to happen. One of the most entertaining defenders in the league.

 

[Rex Stone]

“Entertaining defender” gives me flashbacks of the banter era.

 

[Trilly]

Just realised Xhaka would be the clear candidate if he’d had a good season, it’s the only thing holding him back imo.

 

[Cudareli]

“Entertaining defender” gives me flashbacks of the banter era.

Just picture a 195cm monster, with the biggest box head you will see, looking like Beckenbauer with the ball at his feet and literally gliding past players.

He's a quality quality player. Don't know how he'd go at a top club, apparently United are sniffing, but he's sensational to watch.

He might not have had an amazing season for some, but I don't understand those saying he hasn't had a good season at all?

He's played almost every game, improved his discipline, statistically is one of the best midfielders in the league and has 7 assists and a goal in 37 games from a deep position in midfield.

You can argue that he hasn't been brilliant but to say he hasn't had a good season is pushing it in my opinion.

 

[Wryer]

I want a captain who can, first and foremost, take care of his own **** and not be a liability on the pitch. Second, be fit enough to start 90% of the games. How else can you command respect from a team which desperately needs leadership?

With that, the only choice is Monreal. Not great but the only one who barely meets these criteria.

I would hate to give the captaincy for the sake of improving that individual's game. Why do you need the captaincy to play better?
