Isn't the current captaincy hierarchy Wes <--- Kasper <--- Vardy?

 

I'd prefer Maguire personally. Most obvious choice to try and get him to stay for a few years.

 

Vardy defines us in so many ways so it would be good to see him made captain too - it just depends how many years he's got left in him.

I always personally preferred defenders or midfielders to be captain. Not a fan of goal keepers or strikers being captain. Therefore I've gone for Maguire.

Maguire for me. Just let Vardy do what he does best. I think Maguire for two reasons, firstly I just don't think strikers make great captains (in my head the captain should have everything in front of him, not behind him) and secondly I think Harry has the better temperament. Wouldn't want Jamie to lose the edge he's got which he might have to curb if he was captain.

Usually, it's rather rare to give the captaincy to a striker.

 

Vardy would make for a very good vice-captain, though.

Other than that, we're looking at saying goodbye to a couple of more senior players this summer, so there's less options to give the armband to an older/more experienced member of the squad.

 

If Schmeichel should stay, then it's him. That also means he has to deliver/do better than this past season. Maybe the captaincy could act as an incentive?

Would prefer the captain to be a defender.

 

Vardy our most influential player but you'd need him to be focused on making the runs, tearing into defenders close to the touch line, creating chances, scoring. Being captain runs the risk of taking from what he does best. Besides imagine him trying to reason with someone like Moss after West Ham 2016.

 

Maguire would be a far more stable player and much more adept at dealing with officials. Should he feature at the world cup and excel he would also be a great figure for senior and youth environments to aspire to. That's assuming he'll be with us next year!
