Gary Cahill

Imo he is captain because

1) He's English and longest serving member.

2) It's a natural progression when the captain (JT) leaves, the vice-captain takes over.

3) He was on-field captain in our title-winning season.

4) He is quite a determined player.

 

All in all people are making too big a deal out of this captaincy nonsense. Leaders will lead, followers will follow regardless of title or armband.

Just point 1. I doubt he'd even still be here had he not been HG.

You don't play whole seasons under different managers and CL finals in a club like Chelsea just because you're English, get a grip.

I'm saying the point about captain regarding his nationality. He isn't the same player that signed, so you need to be aware of that. His contribution in Europe has NOTHING to do my second point. [emoji106]

Has Cahill actually even improved since joining us? 5 years on and every time, it's the same issues when we talk about his performances.

That's it. I was actually happy with the signing and fee to begin with, but the thought that players improve around better teammates hasn't applied to him. Making similar mistakes to the ones that contributed to Bolton's relegation.

Am all for different opinion but this has to be one of the stupidest pieces ever written...

Imagine writing "Gary Cahill" and "Leonardo Bonucci replacement" in the same sentence.

Now imagine getting paid for writing that.

[Johnnyeye 7,453]

Cahill wont be leaving

Juventus closing in on a €10m move for Benedikt Howedes from Schalke. Guessing that Gary Cahill move isn't happening? #CFC

Howedes is actually a decent player, 10m for him is again GREAT business from Juve, if it's true of course. He is CB, but is also capable of playing as a RB.

If people actually believed that Juventus are interested in Cahill, then they seriously need a brain check...fast!
