Is it time for a New Club Captain...

[Ric Flair]

Vardy 

[The Wizard]

I'd go for Kasper but I've never been a fan of keeper captains as they are too far back during the play although Kasper does seem to get his point over where ever he is on the pitch. If not Jamie..."The older Statesman", he oooddles passion & is what the team need to set the level of desire. 100% effort win or lose.

Morgan will be club captain until he leaves.

 

On the pitch captain will most likely change this season though with Morgans playing time become reduced.

Club is made up of plenty of 'captains' and 'leaders' anyway. 

 

Pretty sure it's just a label these days anyway.

Can't be captain from the bench.

Vardy. 

[Robin JD Popley]

The current order goes,

 

1. Wes

2. Kasper

3. Vardy

 

Kasper, I think, is the right choice but Maguire - long term - is a no brainer.

Sadly, Maguire is highly unlikely to be with us long term.

You reckon? Let's be fair, he's not quite top 6 standard, has a mistake or two in him - Man Utds pursuit was a proper "well he had a good world cup" kinda move.

I think Wes can stay club captain but we need a new on the field captain.

 

Hamza is the man.

Yes, buying 3cbs looks like a clue too.

[Fox92]

Silva.

 I'm with the OP the manager likes to play keep ball. Passing and looking for the opportunity yet Wes loves to get rid.

 

I love Wes for what he's done for us. But as we've seen he's getting past it. I'm not sure he can carry Puel's ideals onto the pitch.

 

If we are playing this keep ball passing game its going to magnify his lack of quality IMO.

Gives us 6 senior CBs at the club. One is Benny who's surely gone, the others Wes who, great as he's been, is in decline. Don't see it so much as Maguire going as Benny gone.

[Mehrez]

I’m happy if schmeichel gets its because it would be a little weird if he didn’t, but he should be captain upto the half way line and Vardy takes responsibility beyond that, I don’t want Kasper running 80 yards to try and argue for a penalty

I hope you're right.

No, Morgan should be club captain, he doesn’t need to play every week but he sets the club by example and is a role model to the younger footballers... John Terry was captain for Chelsea for years even in the last couple of seasons when he wasn’t even getting on the bench. 

[Clever Fox]

Morgan should continue as Club Captain but needs step aside as team Captain.

If the long term plan is to keep Maguire then I would give it to him.

After that either Vardy or Kasper should get it.

Is Wes is in the 25 there is no need for a club captain, if he's not on the pitch then vardy or Kasper will be captain.

you’ve got it spot on…. (Other than the fact that John Terry is a bit of a tool!!!) But, they did the right thing by him!

 

kasper when Morgan not starting…. He’s already vice captain…

This.

Mendy, he’s Puels captain at heart. 

[Saxondale]

No. Wes is clearly well respected and liked throughout the club. 

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Harry Maguire should be both team and club captain, imo.

Club captain can just be a title - I think it'd be good for the club and for Wes if he stayed as club captain until he goes. There are captains on and off the pitch, and dropping him would be harsh. 

 

Kasper for on pitch captain for me - comes across as a good leader and will read the game well from the back. 

 

A goalkeeper will be vocal on the pitch without the captaincy. It’s wasted on a GK. 

 

It needs to be an outfield player who can readily speak with the referee and get a grip of teammates as situations arise. GKs can’t do that on the field. 

 

Kasper has the respect of the team and would be a shoe-in for the armband anywhere else on the pitch.

What makes you think Maguire would be a good club captain? Relatively inexperienced in comparison to some of the squad and probably not the right man to resist change and represent the squad to the management and above. 

 

One day but not just yet.

Wes

Kasper

Vardy
