Captain Next Season - poll added

[The Left Side]

Delph for me.

[Toronto Villa]

Although nothing beats a H&V debate about crisps or biscuits and what are classed as crisps or biscuits.

Or sauces and where is appropriate to use said sauces.

[Holte L2]

Delph.

[Ron Manager]

Hutton. Has the authority and is well liked by the support. Leads from the front.

[Boz]

Even if Vlaar stays, shouldn't we name a new captain anyway, as Ron misses quite a lot of games?

A toss up for me between Clark and Delph. I think Clark has definitely matured this season, just needs to calm it a bit at times, but Delph can also be a bit fiery.

Westwood would be another possibility though.

Delph.

[RussellC]

Cleverley for me.



Just kidding. It has to be someone who's guaranteed to start when fit. As good as Clark has been recently, I guess that's still up in the air.

I think I'd plump for Delph,especially after yesterday. He's shown his commitment to the club and this would be just reward for him.

Paul Lambert says Fabian Delph is a future captain of Villa.

Delph signed a new four-and-a-half year deal in claret and blue over the weekend.

And, at 25-years-old, the midfielder is entering the peak years of his life in football.

Boss Lambert sees characteristics in Delph that he believes could well see him don the armband in the coming years.

The manager thinks he could follow in the footsteps of Stan Petrov, Gareth Barry, Martin Laursen, Dennis Mortimer, Chris Nicholl and Johnny Dixon.

He said: "Fabian will be a big driving force for this club for the next few years.

"It is a great coup for us for him to stay. He will go from strength to strength.

"He is a captain in the making and has that personality and a driving force and hunger to succeed.

"I think he would thrive on the responsibility of it. He could do it.

"He's a mature guy and his loyalty speaks volumes for the guy.

"I think he can be a really, really top player if he keeps his feet on the ground. He's still only young.

"It's about keeping his feet on the ground and keeping that enthusiasm for the game of football.

"As long as he has that and that football hunger and heart then his career can go really, really far.

"He's got years and years. He's a top player. If he can keep that hunger and that desire he won't go far wrong.

"Hopefully he will be a big part of Aston Villa's present and future.

"He's a really good player, top player and he can only get better if he keeps working hard."

Simple Delph.

[Monty]

If Delph is still here, then him.

[cdbearsfan]

Delph landslide.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Delph 100% with Guzan as vice captain. I know it's just an armband and it doesn't mean anything, but I'd hate to see the likes of Agbonlahor or Westwood wearing it. It should go to a player who's good enough to start every game.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Delph for me.

Clark comes a close second imho.

[Karl Bridges]

Delph without question, Clark as vice captain.

[Breezeblock]

I'd give it Clacker with Delph as vice
