Villa Captain and leader 2021/22 onwards

[Brazilian Villain]

Don't like goalies as captain.

Worked out alright for Italy in 1982.

Mings for certain. On and off field leader.

The others will all play their part in supporting him as senior players.

[Footy-Vill]

Ings has a touch of class about him as does Young and they will be a great benefit on our assault on the league and cups.

I knew Buffon had been around for a while but I didn't think he'd started that early!

[ASHTONVILLA]

Of the players currently on the books I'd go with Martinez, prefer Midfielders as Captains but not sure any we have currently have the right leadership qualities. If we sign Ward Prowse I'd make him captain.

Too early for me, although I do hear a rather fantastic club won the European Cup that year.

Dino Zoff

Not him as well?! I can’t cope with losing the manager this close to the season. It’s like 2010 all over again.

Excellent.

[Villatillidie1982]

I went for Douglas Luiz.

I didnt mean to, I just wanted to see how many votes he'd got and then seemed to cast one for him by mistake. But it might do him good to get a bit of added responsibility?

Until City use another clause and buy him as well, or is that clause no longer valid?

Not really doubt that it'll be Mings. Let's face it, he's done the job for the last 2 and half seasons anyway.

Definitely. The guy looked like England's natural leader in the games he played. He's definitely ours.

Mings is such a good talker and organiser.  The only way I can see it being someone else is that we offer the captaincy to an incoming player as a sweetener.  Can't see it happening though. Senior player, regular England international, great ambassador for the club and everything to do with the Black Lives Matter movement, for which I am really proud of him for speaking out.

Agreed, Steve. As important as Jack has been to us, I feel like Tyrone has been just as influential. Think I said this a few posts ago, but he's my favourite player, in a squad with a lot of likeable characters. What a wonderful change from 2015-odd, when everyone in our team looked, sounded and played like a total throbber.

[cdbearsfan]

It so obviously should be Mings that I think it would be seen as a snub if it wasn't him.
