It's nailed on Delph. I dare say part of the persuasion to stay was that he'd be someone they'd want to build the club around, plus some sizeable sign on fee and wage increase

As you say, Agbonlahor shows no qualities for leadership at all.

Or very little else these days I'm afraid.

Delph is a good option and maybe Westwood as vice-captain.

Delph. Even if Vlaar stays.

If Vlaar stays then Vlaar as Clark is not guaranteed to start.

If Vlaar goes then Guzan is good back up.

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

I like this idea.

Gabby should not even be in the team let alone considered as captain material.
Delph for me.

Vlaar needs to take a leaf out of Delph's book....he's been injured so often these last 3 seasons. You just can rely on him. Okore is far better anyway. Delph should be Captain.

Lambert mentioned Delph as a future captain in the interview on his new deal so think that's a certainty next season.

Easy, Sanchez. Has the required steel. He doesn't speak much English so he can use slaps and points to whip this crew into shape. He just needs to inform Lambert.

It's good that Clark is even in the discussion but now I would say just let him get on with the job he's been doing very well since he came back into the side. He's clearly been demonstrating captain qualities but Delph's been consistent for a few years and after his recent actions and comments I think it would be Delph for me too.

This for me. 

Despite Guzan being a good shout, I've never been keen on goalkeepers being captains, has to be an outfield player.  Neither am I keen on forwards being made captain either.

Delph has given us all a massive boost and shown his commitment to the club - his example will hopefully inspire others, a good captain isn't just what they do on the pitch but off as well.

This for me as well. With Vlaar, Clark & Guzan after that.

Gabby is just not captain material (he's barely footballer material at the moment)
