Gabby named as captain

[Simon Ward]

Aston Villa name Gabriel Agbonlahor as new captain #SSN

[Villanation]

First decent move McLiesh has done.....

Now he can go and hammer the Scouse jobbies.

I'm not convinced that Gabby is captain material but there's not really any other choice in the current team.

[JUAN PABLO]

Im amazed Heskey didnt get it

[villanic]

I’d rather him concentrate on scoring some goals rather than the captaincy but then again who else could have done it, Given maybe?

I'm not convinced that Gabby is captain material but there's not really any other choice in the current team.

He's not ideal, but he is Villa, and the players should get behind him easier knowing that, anybody else just wouldn't carry that weight, and a good few are probably sounding out there agents anyway.

He was captain on Saturday,didnt notice him leading by example,Collins would probably been a better choice.

[JJ-AV]

The correct decision, IMO.

I thought he should have got it last Summer. But I suppose it doesn't mean much.

Glad he's been chosen again of Dunne and Collins though. Hopefully it means they're surplus to requirements in the Summer.

I don't mind Gabby being captain he's got claret and blue blood in his veins top man is Gabby.

[Barry Shaw]

It must be for his well spoken manner and off the cuff quips to placate the media at the post matchg press conferences.

[N'ZMAV]

I just wish he could score a goal or two.

[Handsworth Wood Villa]

Gabby is a legend.

[Brend'Watkins]

It matters very little in reality.  It might mean something if Gabby relishes the role and picks his game up accordingly.

The ideal captain would be Cuellar if he was fit.  Will he be fit for Saturday?

[N'ZMAV]

Gabby is a legend.

What makes you say that?

[Ron Manager]

Gabby is a legend.
