Future Chelsea Captain

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

I'll go with Cahill and Mikel.

Depending on his development, probably Cahill. It's very important for the captain to be one of the better players in the team. It gives you that respect from your team mates. You can't be a player who's (easily) replaceable. It's not like he has Terry-esque leadership and mental strength so he would need to step it up and reach a much higher level.

One thing's for sure, we'll sure miss Terry as a captain when his time comes. He was truly iconic in that aspect.

Vice-captain role for Brana.

[Azpinator 2,325]

Brana is a better choice, he already did it in the Seattle game and he's been with us since 2008 while Cahill hasn't even completed a year.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Torres? A leader? . He's far too meek for the role.

Cech should be the leader. At 30 he has a good 6-7 years to go in his career. Assuming Terry is off at 35 and Lampard at the end of this season, Cech will wear the armband for a couple of years before passing it onto someone else, perhaps Cahill or at a stretch, Ivanovic.

Captain: Cahill

and by the time Lampard and Teray have left, Mceachren would have hopefully broken into the squad so I'd go for him as vice

[Swoopz 183]

Cahill, really? Was not expecting that. Howcome he's such a common choice?

I vote Cech.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Cahill, Ivanovic or perhaps even Mata (unlikely though).

You should add a poll. There are just 3 or 4 popular alternatives and it'll spare us the trouble of having 500 posts with one word responses.

Who ever it is, he'll have some big shoes to fill. Don't think there is anyone out there who is better than our JT at the captain role.

Can't just jump the gun, can I? Everybody will have different views on who should be captain. And if I were to put the entire squad(well, almost) on the poll, it's going to stretch the page because of how long it is going to be.

[Steve 10,227]

Most likely Cech, cannot see any other option at the minute. Only reason it won't be him is if the coach at the time who ever it may be doesn't want a keeper as captain.

Make a 5 man shortlist from the responses so far and have a 6th option for 'Others' where posters can explain their choice in the comments.

If you are so eager to see that, then why don't you go through the responses yourself?

Just a suggestion. Do carry on

[Jase 43,479]

Just a suggestion. Do carry on

Just went through the 3 pages and here are the results(Hope I got it right. Otherwise, it's more or less there):

1. Cahill - 15

2. Cech - 7

3. Ivanovic - 5

4. Mikel, Mata & Bertrand - All tie on 3 votes each

5. Chalobah, McEachran - Both tie on 2 votes each

6. Luiz, Torres, Moses & Azpilicueta - All tie on 1 vote each

Mind you that most just posted the name without exactly pointing who should get which post, given that there are obviously 2.

Now it's up to one of the mods or admins sort out the poll, if they want to add it.

Re-sign Ballack.

Keep him until he's 50.

Make him captain. Sorted.

[J.F. 1,484]

Roman Abramovich.

[Hysteria 159]
