Five captains

Postby Nuggets » Fri Jul 19, 2019 6:50 am

23-year-old Holding could step up to be one of Emery’s “five captains” — all able to wear the armband when called upon, the manager said,“I want one English player in these five captains.

I don't get it, why do we need 5 captains? we haven't had ONE good one since Paddy and he wants 5. We need a good captain thats for sure but who? have we even got a good potential captain?

It’s just to develop a group of leaders and makes sure that anyone who’s called up in the absence of the main captain knows they have weight on their shoulders

Given the comments (and if Kos leaves/stripped of captaincy) it’ll be

Xhaka
Ozil
Holding
Sokratis
Bellerin

Imo

I'd settle for good players, then we can think about good leaders. Lol at Ozil still wearing the armband the other day. Tragic

5 captains like it took 4 guys to replace Wenger and with less than 20 days to go have only managed to sign a teenager from Brazil’s lower division.

Ozil should be nowhere near the list, he is not vocal enough,passionate etc.

Stupid idea. George Graham didn't need 5 captains and neither did prime Wenger.

Just teach the players to be winners and/or buy players that are leaders. This is just another bag of foolishness. 5x shit captains will never equal 1x good captain.

This is what happens when you have years of not buying the right players, and losing the good ones. It's hard to find an established captain like that.

There is not a single leafer in the team. So we gonna switch it around every game so the media dont attack 1 player for not being captain material. Holding with 9 good games 12 months ago no one thought he was good enough to start could be captain. Chambers not good enough and was tried to be sold could be another.

We shoukd really ask to play with no captain. Also how they gonna force kos to stay and take the armband from him

It would be kind of a piss take to make him captain after saying he doesn't want to be here.

Kos days with the armband are over. Give it to Sokratis. I would listen to him over Xhaka and Ozil that's for sure
