Who should be our new captain?

:rofl: Fat? You've never seen me

I thought the above one was your pic. Fits your general description perfectly.

Using "LMAOS" "LOLS" "wierd emoticons (or somethings)". When asked to have a face to face, ran away without even replying to that particular thing. 

So a perfect fat geeky-nerdy internet warrior. You probably know the types. I am sure you are the type.

Why would I waste money going to meet someone I think is a cock? End of the day you're just an idiot bully whose only response is to try and get me to fight you. Reminds me of someone who used to post here Blue Daze!

Quite simply we don't have the best candidate at the moment.. I think cesc would be the closest considering everything bar the history but it is that very history that preventing me from supporting him to be the next captain.. 

 

Both azpi and cahill don't possess that leadership & respect by the look of it, costa can be a bit of arseh0le at times otherwise I'd pick him.. Wouldn't be appropriate to select the captain from new recruit so it's sh*t options really.. I think I wouldn't mind tossing a coin to decide who's the captain..

Better be a cock than a bufoon who cant comprehend stuff, right?

Did I quote you first? No i did not. Did i start to abuse you first, no i did not. And yet, I am the bully, and a cock and someone who is picking a fight? Weird. 

I would be supporting chelsea longer than what your age is mate. The least the fans expect is someone who can put his heart and soul for the badge, for the team, for the shirt. The idea of cesc wearing the armband is vomit-inducing. Sure, he can play a perfect long ball now and then, but that does not make him the captain. This is a player who was booed by the majority of the crowd at SB because the majority of us thought that he had not given his 100% on purpose until Jose was fired, not a desirable trait in the person wearing the band for the forth coming future.

You don't even know his old I am and I love how people live to back up their support by saying they've supported a club longer than another. Well I can't support a club before I was f**king buirn. For the record 1994 is when I started supporting Chelsea.

Also don't act like you didn't start this with a post that was condescending as f**k.

Anyway happily done with you.

1994. Well, Like i said in my previous post. Moreover, have a son older to you lad.

Condescending is not the same as abusing. Learn the difference. Using "f**k" so casually in sentences would be alright in your generation but their are a lot of people who will and should take offence.

Offer still stands though. Whenever you come to the bridge, just PM me. Drinks on me.  :)

Right now I'm gonna apologise for my language cause I've been out of order and have gotten carried away. I'm having a sh*t day and I've taken it out on you, for that I do apologise.

Apology accepted. 

And I would like to apologize too. Should not have stretched this out. 

We got off on the wrong foot but hopefully, nothing irreparable. 

Also, sorry for derailing the thread. Lets get back on track. :)

No it's on me mate, I pushed it. Not even sure why. Really big apologies mate.

Back on topic, I think some people are wanting us to replace JT with a JT like Captain and we aren't gonna find that.

There will never be a JT again. And people like me need to accept that. But, is cesc the answer? 

 

Yes, he does have the credentials. He has captained arsenal but that was a team that used to concede last minute equaliser every second week. They are also the team that conceded 4 goals to newcastle after being 4-0 up. It was a team that lacked leadership.

Moreover Cesc is 29 and runs like a 50 year old (i should know, I am 50+). Also, is it just me or has cesc become even more unathletic than his arsenal/barca days. I mean, I dont think he was this poor. I honestly think he is not aging well and wont be a definite starter in 2 years' time. Do we want another "stop gap"? 

 

This might sound crazy, but if we actually dont give JT an extension, and we somehow dispose off of GC and Iva, then I will give the armband to Hazard. Hazard is hands down our "best player". The guy needs to start taking things seriously for once. Jose could not get him to do it. Maybe having the responsibility of carrying the team on his shoulders and being the leader on the pitch, makes him a responsible person as well as a professional. The lad has the potential to be a world class player to the level of CR and messi, the only thing stopping him is 'him". This is what I would do.

I actually think that if we make hazard the captain he won't be able to bear the pressure

Edited by JT_<3

If Cesc was Gennaro Gattuso and Andrea Pirlo's lovechild he'd be captaincy material without doubt.

 

I still think Azpi should be captain, he may not be a natural leader or the most vocal, but i'd like to think it would encourage a togetherness that wins games, i.e. look at what Leicester have achieved. #fightforthepuppydog

If Terry goes and Conte doesn't buy in a new captain, we will be in trouble again next season.

 

Cesc is just to lightweight, I know he's experienced, plenty, but times have changed, the Prem is full of physically tough and very very hungry players.

 

Ivanovic would be a great captain, if he could still play football.

 

Cahill, I would love him to be captain material, truly, but he isn't, not for us anyway.

 

Costa ? oh please, don't even go there.

 

Matic and Mikel can be dealt with in two words, just no.

 

Azpilcueta, we'll just call him Dave, not captain. He would be a good vice captain, but we need someone with way more stature on the pitch.

 

Hazard has been mentioned, not sure about him as captain, but he must be under the wing of our captain, our prized gem that needs a tough captain.

 

Zouma could be a future captain, certainly has the stature and presence of one, if he had not of got the injury, and had carried on improving, who knows he could have been in pole position by now with all the other contenders failing to improve much.

 

Christensen, some people (me inc) think he could make a brilliant captain, he is fast improving, very cool headed, and certainly has the right atittude. But next season he may have to remain on loan for his second year.

 

 

But most of all I just pray we can keep JT for one more season as captain, even if he only plays half of the season, remember we won't have anywhere near as many games next season. 

Fabregas is probably the best candidate considering he can still play football unlike Brana.

 

I agree with Coco though, we need to sign someone like Bonucci who can just come straight into the team and be captain.

Maybe, Maybe not. 

If he fails, then I dont think he would be any different to what he is right now.

If he succeeds, and actually acts responsibly, does not come back from pre-season 10 kg overweight, is accountable for his actions. I mean this is a guy who has talent equal to the likes of CR and Messi. If he had the hardworking nature of CR, then just imagine what a player we would have on our hands.Definiitely worth the risk and worth a shot.

Anyone know what Contes preferences are in general? It's more likely he will begin with the most senior player for his first season.

Under Conte at Juve (and currently) Italy Buffon was/is the captain, but he also had a solid core with Bonucci/Chiellini/Marchisio/Vidal - all captains in their own right. Hopefully JT stays, I think the club may make an announcement before next week's game at the Bridge (I'd hope so, anyway)
