Next Blues skipper

[AlexSM 3]

I think Bano.

[Spike 12,049]

I honestly think Brani would be an ideal captain with either Mata, Mikel or Cech being Vice Captain.

And if he manages to learn English one day, Luiz.

[TopDrog 119]

[Spike 12,049]

That picture of Kalou should be a bannable offence.

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

Mikel. He plays a crucial role in the midfield, he was going to lead Nigeria in the World Cup, and I think he can be a very influential player in the future. Cech is a good choice as well but it's better if the captain was an outfield player.

But if Conor Clifford ever breaks through, he has to be our new captain. He looks like a born leader.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Defenders make the best captains. Brana.

[the Blues 11 19]

My preference would be Brana, Cech and Mata. Prefer an outfield player to be captain but would make an exception for Petr.

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

Mikel or Essien

[Randall 315]

Should probably be Cech, but I don't really like Goalkeeper captains so I'd say either Ivanovic or Josh or Connor or Kane or Chalobah, but don't know if any of those will be established first teamers in time. Would like it to be someone we've brought through ideally.

[Wilson 358]

Hopefully Cech and/or Essien. I wanna see Josh be captain when he's about 23

[Rambo 1,729]

Cech for me.

[Blue Armour 4,289]

Essien would have been an excellent captain if he was fit...Model professional and drives the team forward as its engine.

But as for future candidates, maybe Conor Clifford...or Sam Hutchinson (if he miraculously returns to playing in the top level)

[tnchelsea 79]

Cech

Essien is too quiet for me, Drogba once described him as a 'pussycat,' he doesn't seem to have the ability to assert himself vocally on the team like Terry can.

[kwylino 329]

Id like for Cech to be the captain. Someones who performances Just are magnificent and would inspire the team. Ivanovic i really like the thought of being captain too

if were thinking into the future

Id sure as hell love to see connor clifford as our captain in around 2017-2020. Guys long range strikes are just.....Deliciously juicy and sweet. And it would be sweet as hell to have a product of our youth as a captain too.

He does have the nice guy image, but he also like to get involved...I've seen him having a go at Bosingwa when his crossing was wayward in one match..Also...Remember how he likes to get in and calm everyone when we've had fights with other players (like with Arsenal, etc.)..Plus he has captained Ghana, so that must count for something..

He could be a good leader, but of course, having a leadership style different from Terry's

[Ray. 217]

Not yet, but I think at some point it could be Josh. Like JT will become a first team regular and like JT has risen through our academy. I just hope that we never sell him or put him out on loan.

Fair point and a good argument, and I totally forgot about him captaining Ghana!
