Future Chelsea Captain

[LAM09 7,043]

Azpi for me. He offers his all in every match and is ever present in our XI.

[NishC300 1,865]

Easy. I know who it'll be.




Me.

Gotta be Eden, surely? You usually give the armband to your best player more often than not, Hazard represents our future and passing of the guard so to speak. It would be a fitting and help Hazard's maturity grow.

No, the armband should and usually does go to the best leader, not the best player.

Not to say that Eden isn't that man, but one's amount of goals/clean sheets/tackles etc. is only part of the equation when picking a captain.

Terry didn't play in the first half against NY Red Bulls while Fabregas did but the captain armband wasn't given to him. Ivanovic got it instead.

Probably doesn't mean much though...

I Vote for Cahill

1. He's seems to last long in Chelsea (loyal)

2. He has achieved all Trophies with Chelsea

3. he's been long partnering with JT in the heart of our defense

4. Still playing for England

5. I consider him as one of England's finest defender

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Cahill has no charisma, he is our weakest link in defence.

I dont think any of our current crop can replace Terry in this role, his criteria as english, loads of character and experience, blue through and through are unmatchable, logically the one who deserve it after Terry is Ivanovic, because of his loyalty, and he is the one that will probably replace Terry next season if things goes right as center back, Stones or any other young one like Zouma have to wait or to be extremly decisive this season.

It's pretty clear that Ivan is going to be the new VC. He was always "next in line" after JT-Drogba-Cech last season anyway.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

It will be Fabregas in a couple of years when Iva is gone I'd imagine.

[DavidEU 2,023]

"Eden is coming with big status now and was voted one of the top ten players in Europe last year. In my opinion he should be in the top three not in the top ten. Let's see what is going to happen but we have these people. But let's say John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic are our captains and the others are ready to come."

Saw this in a quote about Eden on WAGNH. Looks like Ivanovic will be VC this year.

Looks like Ivanovic will be VC this year.

Azpi could be one as well. I can see him wearing blue for a good amount of years. If not, Fabregas maybe?

[WilsonMay 12]

I think Fabregas will be the most possible choice.

[the wes 7,212]

Fabregas for me and after fabregas john stones thats if we get him tho ???

[Jase 43,479]

Don't think Fabregas is suited to be captain for us when he has been consistently inconsistent with his performances. He might have the leadership qualities but he also needs to lead and show example by putting in performances week in, week out.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Azplicueta could be a surprising choice for me. Mou favorite, always praised his character and never seems to be involved in anything controversial and always does his job well. Then again he hardly ever seems to talk on the field either so don't know how inspired he could be for other players.

As for people suggesting Fabregas, lol a bottler who goes missing in most big games and not someone to stand up and put his body on the line when things get tough, if he is made captain we are probably destined for Arsenal style trophy draught.
