MikeO Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Posting this for Matt because whenever he tries to do it it crashes his iPad. If your choice isn't included in the list I'll add it. "Someone made a valid point in another thread about the Everton captaincy. Who's your choice going forward?" Complete no brainer for me. Jags is the current captain, the best option and should keep it until he's no longer an automatic pick. Steve_E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Jags. Howard and Distin as vice-captains, I would say Baines, but it'd only be a tribute to his playing abilities, not his leadership qualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsy Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 If Gibbo stayed fit I would say him, but as that doesn't seem to happen I have to say stay with jags, although he does need to find a bit of his good form back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droobie Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I think a better question would be who to captain after Jags.There is no obvious choice, and the players with leadership qualities are old. We śeem to have a gap to the next generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I've gone for Gareth Barry, now he's here. He's played loads of games and quite a few for England, too. Smart haircut and I've read somewhere this week he's got an oversized arse which he uses to move opposing players out of the way. He'll sign permanently at the end of the season on a free and will become a cult hero, in the mould of Phil Neville, until he becomes even slower than he is now in which case people will hate him and wonder why we ever bothered but until then and until he signs on a free on a rumoured £100k p/w, which will increase to £150k p/w for discussion purposes when he becomes shit and as people hate him more, he's the man for the job for me. This will take the pressure off the man who should be captain, Phil Jagielka, who can be left alone to concentrate on his own game and get his form back as the armband is clearly too much responsibility for him and I would sooner he played well than start fretting about what everyone else is and isn't doing.

Quinn31 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Jags for now, hopefully Ross one day. Too thick. Young of course, but he doesn't seem to be enough of an intelligent, model professional type that needs to be the head of the dressing room and face of our club. No doubt he is a top player in the making, but leadership ability and football talent are two different things. To the Barry shouts- I wouldn't make a player who has just signed captain. I'm just against that idea, but maybe one day he could become vice-captain, or even captain. Honestly, I think Jags will make a great captain.

One person voted Barry and I guess they weren't thinking clearly at the time! He's on loan AND there's no guarantee that he'll sign. I think this is the most one sided poll I've seen on toffeetalk.

May look not look the smartest of lads but don't recall David Beckham being that intelligent and he was a great leader. Think Ross is pretty switched on in terms of knowing what's right and wrong, haven't really seen him getting into trouble off the pitch as most players his age are known for.

thoward18 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Conspiracy time: what if Moyes knew he was probably going to end up at Man U and gave the captaincy to Jagielka instead of Baines in order to make Leighton less committed to staying? Anyway, keep it Jagielka because there's no good reason to strip it from him and make potential problems. If we'e pretending it's a fresh slate though then I'd probably give it to Baines.

Matt Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Am I the only one thinking Barkley should have it?! Yes he's young but he is a leader. He sets the tempo, sets an example and works his arse off for us. Jags is the logical choice but I don't think he's captain material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Maybe Barkley in a few years time but dont burden him with responaibility he doesnt need at this stage of his career! Im not overly convinced by Jags as a captain. Like Neville I am sure his off the pitch work is exceptional but I dont see Jags (or anyone else tbh) being a leader on the pitch. I think McCarthy could well end up being our captain. He is a bit quiet at the moment but gove him 12-18 months to mature and settle in and he will tick all the boxes.

Dalziel Kane Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Allow Jagielka to carry on in his current capacity, and if not him, or when the time arises, it has got to be Leighton Baines. Howard would be a decent call as would Osman. Fine and established players who have spent considerable time at the club and would be adequate team leaders.

Mike Preece Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Happy to go with Jags at the moment, Leighton seems a quiet type of man. Distin a good vice captain. See that Barry has been suggested, cant judge on him until we see how vocal he his during games but he certainly has the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirallas Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Mirallas off course. He drives a gold Bentley. He has "boss" written all over him, even if it has "hugo" right in front of it. If this man doesn't bring us the silverware, I don't know who else can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
