I'm a little surprised as I thought Wallace had been anointed. Nonetheless, very happy with the Norwegian Pirlo being captain. We are calling him that aren't we? |  | | |

Obvious choice too. Out of the 4 senior players JoJo is the only guaranteed starter plus Austin is bound to create a few headlines when he's on talksport that could make us look bad if he's captain. |  |

Somebody on this forum called him the Pirlo of the Fjords which is even better. |  | | |

Suspect this means he starts against wall | | | |

Don’t clubs appoint 2 types of Captains nowadays?
Club and team ?
He’s already sounding like Gerry with his consistency line in his interview. [Post edited 5 Aug 2021 16:21]

Also known as the Fjord Pirlo which was actually made by VW with a Geordie accent. |  | | |

Rather surprised about that but I would suggest that players like Wallace & Barbet are 'cool' about it - no probs from me just surprised. | | | |

Try saying Pirlo of the Fjords in the Monty Python parrot sketch “pining for the fjords?” voice.
I guarantee it’ll raise a smile. |  |

He's Norwegian
They've made Rs Captain this season
And we've heard that Wallace ain't seethin'
So it will be all right |  |

Wallace and Austin will be subject to being subbed more to protect them. Personally prefer a midfielder as he is involved with both attack and defence. |  | | |

I'm not sure it makes much difference who is the captain. When you've got Wallace, Austin and Adomah doing a similar job. I can't imagine too many of the others being as vocal. |  |

I remember when we were having this conversation last year, we were lamenting that fact that we had nobody of 'proper' captain material and concluding that Cameron or Wallace were the best of a bad lot. Fast forward 12 months and we have two or three legitimate candidates, which is another indication that we are moving in the right direction | | | |

I like everything he’s said and done so far. A natural leader |  |

I agree with Davie that midfield is the best place for a captain but one of the huge differences between now and this time last year is that we've got "captains" up front (Austin) central mid (Johansen) and central defence (de Wijs) plus Wallace and Adomah.
Seny Dieng is vocal too and I see Dickie as a future skipper | | | |

I think a lot of that is down to Warburton. He wants leaders and if the young players don't heed them then they're out. | | | |

I’m reasonably sure that early in MW tenure that he made 2 players captains
I think he made Angel Rangel club captain (somebody that liaises with management about players concerns and off field matters) and either Cameron or Barbet as team captain.
The announcement of Stef as club captain suggests to me that Wallace is still responsible for on field duties
Happy to be proved incorrect though. | | | |

You may well be right. The club/team captain is nothing new. Very often the club captain was a former team captain who was no longer a regular in the team but was still well respected by players and management.
I still don't expect Johansen to start on Saturday (Wallace skipper) when he hasn't played all summer. Hopefully get some game time v Orient though. | | | |

Love the guy and he should be in the first team but it's very harsh on the guys who did so well vs Utd and Leicester. I wouldn't start him. | | | |

Ye, it frees Charlie up to be a sh!thouse as well, ala Brentford at home last season, winding up Thomas Frank. |  | | |
