Eds, just wondering, at the end of the season when Gerrard is gone, do you expect Henderson to be given the armband given that he is vice captain, or do you expect a more senior player like Skrtel or Lucas to be given a year as Skipper (assuming they don't leave)

{Ed001's Note - I expect Hendo to get it.}

I will cry if Skrtel gets the armband. He is one of the players that needs to be moved on, not given the captaincy. Why give the armband to someone who has shown no leadership qualities whatsoever ever since he joined the club? Hendo for captain, with Lallana or Lucas as VC.

I think Henderson was bought to be the eventual captain.

I think Henderson was pencilled in as future captain the minute we signed him.

Henderson is class when he plays in his preferred position and I now think he should be the first name on the team sheet.

To follow up oin that eds assuming Henderson gets given the full captaincy who do you first want to the nree vice captain? And secondly who would you expect to be the next vice captain? Always interesting to hear your insight on such things
Thanks

{Ed001's Note - want? Erm not sure to be honest, difficult because I would prefer it to be a defender personally but that only really means Toure, who isn't first choice and might not even be there next season. I actually expect it to be Skrtel though, if he stays.}

Ed001 do you really see Hendo as captain material? I'm not convinced although perhaps he's a little in Gerrards shadow at the moment and I'm just not seeing that quality?

{Ed001's Note - the club certainly do mate. He has captained Sunderland.}

Lallana

Maybe Lallana as vice captain?
If Lucas goes anyway.

9.) 02 Jan 2015
In all honesty. I'd want to see Lovren return to his Southampton form and then he would be the obvious choice for VC.

Skrtel? Heck NO! He should be sold for starters. Hendo is captain material because he`s been captain at international and club level. And he has the heart of a lion and the leadership qualities as well. What we should not do, is to compare him to SG all the time as that could hinder him as a player and an individual aw well as damage him. Let us support him for who and what he is and he will thrive.

Jordan Henderson will be captain with Mamadou Sakho as vice-captain if he stays. That would be my choice

I really want Lallana to be our new captain come the summer. An example on and off the pitch i believe, a lot of experience and by all accounts someone who is very highly liked and respected by his teammates. Maybe he isn't the most vocal, but i believe it isn't necessarily have to be. I want someone who is respected, liked, doesn't stir up the pot but by simple means, intelligence and the right word with the right person now and then helps create unity and togetherness. Henderson i believe isn't quite ready to be captain. He will be eventually i am sure - but i would give him a bit more time. Ideally i would prefer my captain to be a center back - but out the current ones i can't see any of them doing the job. Especially not on the pitch. And not off it either, expect Kolo who isn't regular and most likely will be gone in the summer.
