Who Should be Our 4th captain

[kwylino 329]

With Drogba Out of form Lampard Injured and terry facing the sidelines Who Would You make Our 4th captain

I know our 4th captain is probably Paulo But with/if branslav Alex And bosingwa keeping him out of the squad i dont see him being Used much As captain if thats the case

My pick would be Cech Hes been here since 04 or 03 Hes been through it All

He seems A calm fellow

and He is one of if not the best at his job Hes Instrumental to us

And he Aint a lying Crying bitch Like joe cole

I think we need to revise our third captain to be honest.

Drogba simply does not do it for me. He isn't vocal enough and his acts of half-heartedness and petulance at times does not strike me as leadership material. I appreciate he is seriously ill at the moment but we need someone who is more talkative and encouraging on the pitch. The only person who falls into that category in my view is Malouda.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Agreed with BlueLion. Drogba is more commanding when he isn't captain, but this is unlikely to change really.

As for the 4th captain, I think we should let Ashley Cole have a go. His temper on the pitch would be enough to scare the living shit out of you if he's your captain

[Peace. 4,352]

Arf... I'm not sure for Malouda... He has worn the armband in semptember for France, and he wasn't really good as a capitain...

I would give Branslav A promotion Hes A man made of chuck norris proof Steel And Hes Popular with Us

In fact he reminds me A bit of the terry of 2004-2007

On how he is more use Attacking than your bog standard Defender And Is gritty and Tough

Problem is he's not very vocal. Like you'd want your captain to give you a bit of slack when you're under performing. I don't think Ivanovic could do that, he's more of a silent, but deadly ninja.

Well im not for A vocal captain As much As other people

I would like for the captain to set A example and branslav is a High quality example one of the people who sets the bar For players like bruma and sala to follow

Completely agree about Drogba. I seriously hate him when he throws all those big girl tantrums. For me Cech should be our 3rd captain.

[Wilson 358]

Ash or Cech.

[CHD 30]

How has Essien not been mentioned. Might be suspended at the moment but he should be 4th choice.

[Luke 60]

Terry

Lampard

Essien

Ash

In that order.

[crazy1 24]

ivanovic should be the 4th captain imo.................

A good alternative, but I'm not sure Essien in the most vocal. Come to think of it, besides Terry, there are very few vocal players in the squad. Even Lampard is quite quiet. Ballack was always the most vocal player on the pitch last season besides Terry, but with him leaving there aren't any other clear choices.

For me, Cech would be a good option. You need a captain to be inspirational and the form Cech has shown this year is better than 2004 to 2006 in my view; he's been simply brilliant.

[sLOVEnian Blue 74]

Cech or Essien

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Cech does set a very good example about getting back up when the cards are down. To come back from his horrid injury to regain his great form is truly inspirational. And he does know how to shout at the defenders when they're being complacent.

[Kez 2,727]

It's gotta be Cech first then Essien or Ash

[gary gordon 1,777]

Still gonna go for Drogba as third choice.. Cech would be 4th no doubt...

[boshman 1,073]

Why are people are talking about 'being vocal' If we're going to choose the captaincy on that then why is Lamps vice? He is hardly the most vocal man on the pitch.

For me, a captain should be someone who commands respect from the dressing room and leads by example on the pitch. Based on that my 4th would be Essien.
