BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Longterm hopefuly english player. Nothing gets better to see english youth player to be captain of our club. Terry spoiled us, but I hope if we cant have many english players around, at least have english captain.That said, atm I dont see any english player having captain characteristics and football skill to get that role here. Maybe Cahill, but we will see.Baker, Stones, RLC, but those are all realy long shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Cahill, but we will see.Baker, Stones, RLC, but those are all realy long shots.Agree with this point.Imo, if we do include the 'foreign' players into account against the potential or eventual English players (two of which i thought would have been Jones and Shaw), I have always envisioned that we would be the club to select a natural English leader as we did with Terry, excusing the 'other' factors that led astray, maybe Chalobah/Baker, etc. but whoever needs to have been at the first squad role AT LEAST two years.Maybe an 'other' can take the role before an English leader can.Hopefully you know what i meant rather then sounding as a giant dick.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Chelsea have had many impressive results in their unbeaten start to the Premier League season but perhaps the best so far were their two away victories on Merseyside at both Everton and Liverpool. They have something in common too. Nemanja Matic delivered the team talks. Meeting up with him in Fulham at the promotional launch of new racing game The Crew, the suggestion that he might have got a taste for the experience gets short shrift. “No! I don’t like to talk but every game some player has to say something before the game. I hope that I have finished for this season with the speeches.” So what did he say? “I just told them that we have to win this game because it’s very important, Liverpool are a good team and when you win games like this it gives you more confidence for the rest of the season. But with Chelsea you can say what you want, the players know what they have to do.” http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11662/9589267/nemanja-matic-interview-chelsea-midfielder-discusses-jose-mourinho-cesc-fabregas-and-his-own-role-in-the-team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone that can speak English gets a turn to do the team talk, even the staff. Didn't the physio do it before the match at the Ettihad last season?

Nothing biggy about it really.It's a rotation. Everyone that can speak English gets a turn to do the team talk, even the staff. Didn't the physio do it before the match at the Ettihad last season? Billy McCulloch - the masseur - gave the team talk before that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing biggy about it really.Billy McCulloch - the masseur - gave the team talk before that game.He actually has a list that goes around everyone. Coincidentally he talked about it today in the PC. I was surprised to hear that even the players that don't speak English get a turn!And yeah, it was the masseur and Jose joked that he didn't understand a word because of his Scottish accent.

Myself 793 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 That's the type of thing Arsenal fans were saying about Arteta though..There is a reason most 'successful' captains have similar traits, Matic doesn't fit that mold currently.eh? Arteta is a good leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 eh? Arteta is a good leader.Not really. His character shows a lot. He lacks grit which ultimately sets him apart from the rest of successful captains. Not to mention he carry's an emotionless aurora around him.

MichaelDance 552 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Cesc is who I think will be the next captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Matic or Cahill for me, maybe Dave or Fabregas if they show over the next 2-3 years they are ready for it. Hazard is an outside bet too, but unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Aside from JT, the natural leader on the pitch in the team now is Cesc. Irrelevant who you decide to hand the arm band to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and it's pretty obvious. A few days ago, Luis said the same thing: that Cesc is the team's leader this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit shy and awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different level 1,056 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I don't want to think about any future captains while JT is around, but have to admit the ex gooner looks like a natural leader and is becoming increasingly influential in the team.
