Future Chelsea Captain

[Parky 739]

Costa just for da lulz.. 

[Ayioros 76]

Hazard no way. Like he said  "I'm not a natural leader, but I learn". That's maybe okay in national team but i don't want see Eden as Captain at Chelsea.
Switch from Terry to Hazard, that's really hurt in term of leadership. In beligum it's the same, switch from Kompany to Hazard is a big gap to lead a team.

And if Eden made an incredible season, no doubt it will be his last with us.

it's not a big secret he would like to join Madrid, but want finish "like a boss". Next season will be probably (and unfortunately) the best moment for him to leave.

I think Azpi is a good choice, a mature player, who works  hard for the team and could finish his carrer at Chelsea.

40 votes for Cesc. Are people blind or just naive that he can succesfully lead us as captain? 

In my opinion, and as far as I can judge from interviews and other public interactions, Cesc is the classiest individual in our squad. He has integrity, bravery, discretion and intelligence. These don't necessarily add up to a leader, but they are great ingredients all the same.

The big problem of course is that it's hard to see Cesc winning a place in the team. In fact it's easier to see him leaving during the next 12 months than it is to imagine him being installed as captain. If our votes mattered at all, Cesc would have mine but he isn't going to get the job.

It's gotta be someone who will play often and looks like a leader.

Courtois always comes across as very professional and isn't afraid to be outspoken. After him, depending on his season, Luiz could be the other option.

He is not a leader. Simple as that. When we were playing PSG, all was there to see. Completely invisible. Even Ivanovic shown more desire, passion, drive, leadership than Cesc. And to me, it all starts with that. I dont care how he looks and acts in interviews, I really dont. All that matters is on the pitch. And I dont see him as someone who the whole team would follow. Starting with his play style, how quickly he loses the ball which makes him undependable. And then his mentality. In big games, I have not seen him boss the game. And that is what captains do. Rooney is not captain material either, but he is ''legend''. I dont want Cesc to be one for same reasons, because when the shit gets real, he is one of those that you simply cant depend to lead the line, motivate others.

I guess afrer all these years of JT, my expectations are too high, he was best possible captain there is, but I would not give Cesc captain band. Just my thoughts. This will be bold, but if I got guarantee that Ivanovic will remain starter for next few years (not that I want that, but if that happened), I would give band to him sooner than to Cesc. Why? Obviously not because of his skill, because he is one of the liabilities out there. But he has confidence, he has drive and passion. In all these years he was with us he was almost never injured and gave absolutely 110% in games. You cant take away his mistakes, but for someone like him, he is still a damn great character to have when you play decisive games. Cesc on other hand has all the technical skill in the world, yet all that goes away when he gets pressed. How can you trust such man, if he doesnt have belief in himself.

Bottom line, Cesc is professional. Clear as day, since he went from Arsenal to Chelsea. To be true captain and leader, it takes something more. He was their captain and yet made the move. IMO that is not the right character, professional or not, you just cant depend on such person.

The real sad thing however, is that we dont have an out and out player in our team to tick all marks. Not a single one.

Poll updated. Added 4 new choices in.

[DYC. 7,542]

People place too much importance on who wears the band in my opinion. As long as it doesn't look ridiculous, for example Oscar as cap. A leader will lead with or without the title as captain.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Kante definately has potential.

[LAM09 7,043]

Luiz seems like the best choice now he's returned.

[scargo 75]

Azpilicueta or Hazard.

 

 

[Special Juan 28,096]

I will bet good money Luiz is vice next season.

[Adnane 1,101]

JT, Ivanovic, Azpi. 

Think it's a good order for this season, adding Luiz on the next.

Luiz should be are captain next season on the pitch he has growing up so much since he's came back from PSG
