New captain

[tim cahill]

Jags is the obvious choice with Baines or Ossie as Vice Cap

Think they're all a bit 'nice' to be great captains personally. Better if your captain has a bit of an edge to them IMO.

 

[Neiler]

Bet it's Ossie.

If moyes stays then it wouldn't surprise me if he signs someone to be his next captain. He did it with Neville...

Went for Jags, wouldn't be disappointed with Gibson. Both good examples on the pitch, Baines would be an option if he wasn't so timid.

Surely Ossie with Jags as vice?

Older, more experience, local lad, vital part of the starting XI (like Jags admittedly), important for team moral (always making people laugh) and well spoken/intelligent off the pitch.

Don't get me wrong it's not who I'd go for but that's what I reckon we'll do. Depending on who we sign over summer. Reckon Pip will still get a run-out before the end of the season anyway for the applause so the decision can wait till after summer.

I think it will be Jags, Maybe Distin has a shout? definitely the most senior member of the playing squad. I can see the argument for Osman as well, with him being a local player, but depending on who we sign and who is sold in the summer, i'm not sure if Osman will be starting regularly

Jagielka as captain, purely because he defends like a lion. Baines as his vice captain.

Hitler in.

I think it's got to be Rooney lads.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

It's Jags.

He is the current vice captain and when Jags and Neville aren't playing Ossie is captain so he will be the new vice.

I think it that's simple unless Moyes leaves!

Personally I'd go Jags with Gibson vice because he should be our future captain.

 

[jackyboy]

Gibson for me, Jags and Baines a bit quiet.

Bit extreme maybe but if you put aside his politics, war mongering and persecution of minority groups the guy could certainly motivate those around him.

According to Fourth Official Jagielka has been named new Club Captain. Bit weird to do it now given Moyes could be off...

Not thought that maybe he is staying after all. I think he is. This Neville thing also hints at it. Moyes has obviously 'forced' him to make this decision by basically telling him he's not in his plans. If Moyes was a cert to leave im pretty sure Neville would wait to see what the new manager would want to do with him...
