If Vlaar goes, who replaces him as captain?
The three outstanding candidates to me would be Delph, Clark (who was impressive again today) and maybe Guzan.
(hope you don't mind, I've renamed the thread to make it clearer what it's about - Dave)

Delph.
How many other players who have just broken in to the international squad, with nothing left on their contracts, playing for an ailing club with rumours of more ambitious sides being interested would have signed another lengthy contract?
He said it himself, theres still loyalty in football and he feels like he belongs here, to do this makes me think he gets us a bit and it's not entirely just a job. Give the boy the armband and try to get more in like him.
Him and the Villa have really brightened up today.

Watching Clark with Okore today, he was organising, shouting, pointing etc. All the things you never see Gabby do when he has the armband. For me, it would be a coin toss between Clark and Delph, with Westwood in the mix as I think he is a natural leader on the pitch but it gets overlooked. Clark has proven a lot of people wrong about himself this season. Before it started these 2 were probably choice 4 and 5. Brave man to change them at the moment.

6 months ago I would have said 100% Delph, but seeing how Clark has blossomed in recent weeks I may lean slightly towards him.
As you say, Agbonlahor shows no qualities for leadership at all.

Forwards don't usually make good captains either.

It has to be a player who is going to start every game. For me, Delph is that player.

Delph for sure.
Then Guzan as back-up.

Delph with Westwood as vice-captain. I don't think there will be many games in which neither of them play, and Delph will be nailed on to start whenever he is available.
Clark has been really solid, but I still don't think any single centre back is guaranteed their place over any other.

That is what I would do.

Delph. Got to reward that loyalty. I'd do it now - you can't have a captain that refuses to negotiate a new contract.

It's good to have a debate on the subject for a change.

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

I've always fancied Westwood as good captain material. He was captain from a very young age when he was at Crewe so he can definitely do it, plus his positioning on the pitch where he often acts as a link between defence and attack means he can have influence across the whole pitch. He's very consistent and has a good mentality as well, two things vital in captains to me.
