Howard - a strong shout. I'm surprised he wasn't in more of a contention when Neville left.
Coleman - Seems too shy and humble.
Baines - Again, too shy I think.
Barry - So - so, but I don't think he's been at the club long enough and is getting old now too, I would like more of a long term option.
McCarthey - I like him I really do, but there's just some reason, and I don't know why, I wouldn't like him as skipper.
Naismith - I dont mean to lose faith in him, but I just can't see this form lasting forever, and consistently I can't see him being a week in week out starter.
In the next 2 or 3 season I'd hope that either John Stones or Ross Barkley would take our captaincy. They're young enough to fill that void and seem to be switched on enough to fulfil it. Barkley It think would be our best contender, the lad bleeds blue.
Just to be clear however, I don't agree on stripping Jagielka of his captaincy just yet, that would be extremely unfair and would absolutely destroy his confidence.
