Captaincy

  1. 1. Who should be the next Chelsea captain after JT retires?



Recommended Posts

Luiz is far more inconsistent and way too much of a joker

Is he a leader on and off the pitch? Yes or no? People assume Luiz isn't a serious guy because he's a "happy" character. Is Luiz a joker in serious moments? Does Luiz hide away when our backs are against the wall? Does he shy away from responsibility? These are the sort of questions we should be asking about the captaincy, not whether one is "too much of a joker" on his twitter because he calls people geezers and sticks his tongue out in photos. That doesn't effect his ability to lead/inspire football players on the pitch.

When the captain of all captains, Mr EBJT himself endorses Luiz as his successor, there's little room for debate. I for one can't wait to see DL4 with the armband.

I would say Luiz with Mata as a close second. Luiz is already acting like a captain and I think Mata would step it up if he was given the responsibility.

However, what I don't understand is people voting for Cech. Yes, he has seniority, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's a good captain. Personally, I've never believed in having a keeper as a captain. How can they set an example for the rest of the team if they're standing in one spot?

Can't go up for set pieces or corners, can't encourage others at the other end of the pitch, can only really communicate with defenders (and not all of the time). They're too isolated from the game. I honestly don't see a point.

Luiz stands out the most as somebody who would be captain material. He's vocal, he quite clearly gives it everything he's got, and top of it all, he's a great person (something that can't really be said about Terry, as great of a player/leader that he's been). I honestly don't think that there's a better guy than Luiz to represent and lead this team once the old guard are gone.

Unless you are Oliver Kahn of course, whose roar could uproot nearby trees when he was upset by an action on the field...

Luiz is the obvious choice, cos he has the right age, attributes and quality to be regular starter (other than Mikel or Cahill)
