so harry is the new captain,
to be honest he was the first name that i thought of.
hats off to young, signed as a forward player and did the job at full back.
will harry now thrive after being given the responsibility? England future captain maybe.

Honestly,
I'm not a fan of Maguire. He is a decent CB. Might make a good Captain though.
17 Jan 2020 10:21:21
He's not a leader.
He rarely talks, he doesn't organise.
Joke how he's captain.

Happy enough. though always though dave would be the captain. No problem with it though.

Get behind our players guys, don't write them off before they even start. Its first season for Harry i am sure he will come good.

Maguire isn’t playing badly. The issue is that he is never an £80m defender.
Decent in possession, good in the air and strong. But the limitations are in organisation, positioning and pace. I don’t think it’s a case of he’ll come good. I think he’s playing to his ability, more or less, and is an improvement over our other defenders.
He’s just not an £80m improvement and will always be judged against the fee and come up short.

I would suspect a captain should be able to string a sentence together. Not doubting his motivation, but he lacks the charisma or oratory skills of a natural leader.
17 Jan 2020 12:23:55
I don't think anyones getting him mixed up with Oscar Wilde- but not a bad choice considering the options.

Regardless, I remember a press conference where Ole had to basically dumb down the journalist's simple question to him. Then he followed that up with on the pitch by not understanding the very basic rules of the coin toss to see who's kick the gale off. Nothing to do with his footballing abilities, but as club captain he's meant to not only galvanise the players on the pitch, but represent the squad in the media, be their public face of sorts.

Why are we all still fixated with fees and transfer money - could not care less how much anybody costs. Totally iirrelevant to us.
17 Jan 2020 17:19:29
I agree eric the numbers are so mental that even 10m doesn't make sense fees are irrelevant to me nowadays.

LLV.
How much did Valencia do of that he could not even speak English after 10 years in England. He was captain under 4 managers.
17 Jan 2020 22:30:12
Fair play to him. Still a huge honour.

Valencia was a poor captain Ken.
