New Captain

[redlenny83]

So now that Foster seems to be off to Bristol City, assuming he agrees terms, who is your nominee for the Captain's armband?

 

For me its got to be Arnie. Through that into the contract offer along with a bit more cash and I hope he'd sign.

 

If he doesn't sign...well Consi is vice captain, but not sure he's the right guy or not. But perhaps as good as anyone else....

[Dynamo]

Arnasen.

[tup]

Russell Anderson long term I would hope, but if Arnason signs on, then he gets it for now.

 

If he procrastinates, it would undermine team unity to make him captain.

 

In that instance, I'd go with Vernon, provided he also signs, he has the right attitude.

[tommo1903]

Anderson should be made club captain if he signs.

 

Arnasson should be the captain on the pitch if Anderson is unavailable.

[Stoney]

If arnie signs a deal then im all for it, but giving the captains band to someone with 6 months left is just stupid.

 

Considine for me, been at the club a long time - will be here next year - give it to him. Think he would make a fine captain.

[Donmacca]

Captain has to be a talisman, an icon within the team and a fans favourite. Arnie ticks all those boxes however he needs to show commitment to the club if he gets the armband and not just see it as a stepping stone to something better

[dervish]

If Arnie doesn't sign, this is gonna be controversial, assuming he's fit and looking back to himself... Clangers.

[Foster14]

Chris Clark...

[Redstar]

Arnason would be the obvious choice but there's still doubt about him signing on again.

 

While Foster leaving gets Broon out of a fix (appointing him captain in the first place) it also leaves him with a bit of a headache...with so many players contracts up at the end of the season he's going to look pretty stupid if he appoints a new captain on Friday and the player gets a better offer a week on Tuesday.

 

Think he'll go with Considine(as he's most likley to re-sign)

[ollie1903]

Deary deary me

[Foster14]

Who is actually vice captain just now actually? Can't think of a time Foster has gone off this season.

 

While Considine seems like a decent enough option, I'd prefer it if he concentrates on his own game more. Doesn't strike me as a great "encourager" and can let his head drop a bit too quickly.

 

Langers. No. He'll be gone at the end of the season, Shirley...

 

Arnason. If he shows commitment, then a definite yes for me as he possesses qualities you'd look for in a captain.

 

Anderson, if he returns, I'd be for as well, for the same reason as Arnason.

 

Beyond them, there ain't a great selection...

[RTYD]

Arnason is obvious, but only if he signs.

 

Anderson would be next bet, but he won't be on the pitch.

 

That for me leaves Milsom.

[RUL]

Consi unless Kari signs

[barassie_afc]

Consi unless Kari signs

 

 

No , its Arnason or nothing for me

[jesskeepyup]

There's only one candidate who clearly standouts for me - Arnason. Let's hope he stays. Who knows it may even persuade him to! Unlikely but it might.

[muttonhumper]

If Arnie doesn't sign, this is gonna be controversial, assuming he's fit and looking back to himself... Clangers.

Fit, a hapless, incompetent buffoon?

 

Now he'll be a hapless, incompetent buffoon, wi' a f*cked up napper (mentally), even more scared to come for crosses than he ever was (if that's at all possible).

 

Fishing much?

F*cking hope so.

Fair changed your tune, little bit doubt about what you were saying earlier this week.

[dervish]

Deary deary me

 

I know, I know... we don't have too many outstanding options (unless Kari stays).

[robbo]

mackie as a token gesture before hes punted in the summer

 

considine makes sense but wouldnt necessarily call him a natural leader.

 

fyvie? xabi alonso was real sociedad captain at 20

[Just Jack]

This might sound rediculous at first but if Arnason doesnt sign on then what about Ryan Jack? He's likely to be at the club for the foreseable future, a great young player and likely to be the core in future.

fyvie needs to up his game considerably and I agree with Considine

[vanderark14]

Arnie, Considine or Anderson if he signs

 

I'd be happy with any of those.

[tup]

I'm confident we are just dotting the i's and crossing the t's right now, but I'm only speaking of contingency as you never know with AFC, they can be 95% of the way there and still make a hips of it.

[ebbe]

i like the jack shout. also happy with arnason, anderson, considine or vernon in that order.

 

i'm easy pleased, i'm just delighted the horrible tosspot foster is gone.

[tommo1903]

I have a feeling Mawene will be appointed captain.

[Poodler]

I'd like to see Jack. I value him more than Fyvie, he is born and bred Aberdeen FC. Solid and reliable

[Texas Dandy]

Going be Senior Broons track record i widna be at all surprised by this. Especially given its highly unlikely anyone we want as captain will stick around for next season.

[tup]

Jack is too young, he hardly needs that type of spotlight at this stage of his development.

 

No chance the captain should be under 25 years old.

[Redstar]

Not even Broon would be daft enough to make Clangers captain...FFS if this did happen Broon should be sent to Cornhill for an assessment of his sanity!!!

Hemmin!

Stop winding me up... ...or I'll be up yon stairs ti' gie ye a serious talkin' to!
