POLL: Our new captain

[1989]

With Vermaelen all but gone, we'll have a new captain this season. Who would you like it to be?

[northbank123]

Gotta be Mertesacker. Please not Arteta.

BFG, no question.

Is Sanogo an option just for Spendwum4uckingmoney?

[REB]

BFG is already the team leader in everything but name.

[greengooner]

I voted for sanogoals on the basis that somebody always buys our captains and the Royal Mail are recruiting at the moment

[augie]

No surprises that it is BFG for me - always been a big believer in Mertesacker

Might have come a season too soon for Ramsey. If he has another flyer could easily see him in that role in the future.

Per is the natural choice

Not sure I see leadership skills in him tbh - I know that wenker downplays the importance of captaincy but your captain should always be your leader not your best player

[Gunner Rob]

Metesacker - captain
Ramsey - vice captain

if Vermaelen goes I would like to think we will buy another CB by the end of the window though.
mind you I would like a DM and a CF as well and we all know that it is not going to happen.

BFG Captain.

If only Wilshere had a more certain place I actually would make him vice captain. It may give him something to concentrate on and feel increased responsibility. Have seen a few players over the years improve with captaincies.

Rambo may feel overly responsible and loose his form a bit unnecessarily.

Agreed. But a captain should also lead by example and Rambo is a leader on the pitch by example. Wether he has the man management skills though I agree is yet to be seen and I wouldn't rush to hang it on him.

Smart thinking, shame I've already voted.

That and for some banter value.

[Rosie_titters]

the captaincy seems to be cursed since Big Tone retired.

who ever gets the captaincy seems to leave within 12 months, Vieira, Henry, Gallas, Cesc, RVP and now Vermaelen

I wouldn't want it if i was Merts
