DEL Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Johnny Russell should be vice captain though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 England captain of the future. That would be incredible to see. It would be a proud moment for this club, even if he probably wouldn't be here at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgford Ram Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Has there ever been an albino captain? Was Lorik Cana ever captain at Sunderland? He was an albino international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 How can people be labelling Albentosa a future captain when we've only seen 70 minutes of him against Chesterfield? Did you see those 45 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Captain Pecking Order right now for me is: 1. Keogh 2. Grant 3. Hughes in the future maybe add: Thorne, Albentosa, Russell, Bent, Warnock Don't care about age, you have to be a regular and a leader to be Captain. Will is that. Chris Martin?

Alph Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Our next Captain will be Raul Albentosa. Judging by the way he was bossing people about on his debut then I can see that happening if he's playing regularly. He was watching everyone else more than the ball.

Alph Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Bennett has plenty of time to learn and develop. Don't worry about him yet. I don't think he heart was in it when we loaned him out. He did two interviews and one was him all buzzing about his time here and then his loan interview was much more grounded. Right now when he plays he's always so excited and desperate.

Angry Ram Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Keogh, Buxton, Eustace, Martin, Grant, probably Thorne as has been mentioned. All above Hughes in the pecking order for good captaincy in my opinion. When mcclaren takes about the senior players in the dressing room and taking on board their opinions. This is who he means. Hope he does not listen to Keogh too much... Never a leader.. Martin also, is he going to pick up a side when its down? He's the one who needs picking up more than most.. Hughes for the future definately but agree not now. Of your list, only Thorne would interest me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Did you see those 45 minutes? I did, he was okay, but he's only been at the club for 2 weeks. He doesn't even speak a word of English yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I did, he was okay, but he's only been at the club for 2 weeks. He doesn't even speak a word of English yet.... He must be speaking some English. We were watching him vs Chesterfield, when the ball wasn't with him, and he was constant leadership, pointing, telling people where to go. It was funny because we wondered if he was talking spanish, english or some kind of hybrid. Even before the game, he was having a major discussion with Bent, talking, gesticulating and nodding. He clearly isn't shy, and on top of that he has a superb work ethic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait and see how Raul measures up after a few games. What really grinds my gears, is that if he does start to go bad, you'll be the first one to get on his back Ninos...

There's only one player that grinds my gears. One who whinges at his team mates and lolly-gags most of the game. One who can't beat a defender for pace, and who hasn't exactly been very good lately, yet i've remained quiet. Never liked him from the start, and still don't now. He's plum average. Otherwise I've been extremely supportive of all of our players (except Wardy perhaps, who is far too fragile). Besides, he is going to be a beast, so your point is a non-starter.

Howard Canitbé Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Cant see Bennett ever making it with us. Needs to establish a position, and I dont think he's a winger, never looks like beating his man. Probably end up a decent lower league striker. Bennett absolutely skinned Ashley Cole against Chelsea in the FA Cup last year. Give him a chance, he's still only 17 and hasn't had an enormous amount of first team opportunity, given how tight competition for places on the wings has been.

I stayed out of the fray. How am I building a straw man? I'm just saying that you can't tell much about a player from 45 minutes. After he's played maybe 10 games or so, then we'll talk. Best and Sammon looked quite decent at first didn't they? Until people jumped on their backs and they lost confidence. Why did they jump on their backs? Because they cost a fair chunk and there was a lot of expectation on them. If fans like you pile expectation on Albentosa, there's a good chance he won't live up to it.
