V for Vendetta Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Maybe just cos goid chance he will be away too But if we make him our captain, may be hike his price for the summer?Yep that's what I was thinking. And if he's only caption for 6 months that's absolutely fine. It doesn't need to be a player here long term, just one who's really committed and a good player. Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I'd make McKenna captain if Shinnie goes in Jan.Don't see him potential my leaving in the summer as an impediment to being captain and maybe strengthens our argument to get the best valuation.If Shinnie is leaving, then we just move McKenna up to captain & either of Devlin, Lewis, or Considine gets vice captain. Who cares about Shinnies feelings towards being no longer captain if he leaving anyway, as long as he still gets paid his contract he'll be happy. He will perfectly understand our reasons & needs to plan ahead.Plus, we make McKenna captain then it can certainly do no harm when it comes to his valuation. We lose McKenna as well, then we make either of the others captain & adjusting their contracts accordingly. We currently have an abundance of (potentially) decent captains in our squad. We are actually very blessed in that area now compared to the times when we were basically desperately forced to give the rat the armband in an effort to make him sign a ONE year deal. That weakness from McInnes will forever be remembered by me. 1 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Plus if we make McKenna captain it gives MT another we chance to add to his list of excuses for being so far off in his estimations of what we will get for him. 2 Link to comment

DelMonte Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 No way should Shinnie be stripped of captaincy if he's leaving. He done alright as captain of Caley knowing he was coming here. Would be happy with the same outcome surprisingly. 1 Link to comment

AllyDon Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 If shinnie tells us he is off, he should be stripped of the captaincy Black and whiteSpot on MT. Shinnie I am sure will give 100% for us as long as he is here but if he has not extended his contract once the window closes the captaincy should be stripped immediately. 1 Link to comment
AllyDon Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Guaranteed future captaint but maybe next time. Link to comment

All it would achieve is demotivating an aggrieved Shinnie who would quietly see out the rest of his contract. It maks nae sense. 1 Link to comment

Captain should be someone who is committed to the club and to show that he must extend his contract before the window closes. If all that motivates Shinnie is being the captain then I don't care if it demotivates him as poor example to other players. No player is bigger than the club. 1 1 Link to comment

No player is bigger than the club.It is an unnecessary slight that achieves nothing and may in fact be detrimental to the onfield performance. It makes the club look petty and vindictive, a point that would not be lost on the other players. Shinnie deserves better for his contribution to the club. McInnes will not make that mistake. 1 1 Link to comment
BWG Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Stripping him of the captaincy would be the height of hunnery... unless he does sign for them in which case fuck that hun cunt. 1 Link to comment

So you would potentially upset the harmony of the dressing room, just to show him who's boss. What nonsense. 1 1 Link to comment

TheRock Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I guess I can understand where you're coming from, and him leaving (if he is) is not ideal as captain. However, what if he ticks every other box as to what you'd expect in a captain and would still be the best man for the job? Should we cut off our nose to spite our face? Just not exactly sure what point is being made there and to whom. The line in the sand you're drawing seems fairly arbitrary. If he's letting his contract run down he shouldn't be captain but he should still be allowed to play? Why is the line there? If he isn't fully committed why not drop him and brimg in someone else to the first team then? Link to comment

No need to drop him from playing in that case. It's only my opinion that he should no longer be captain if he is running his contract down. No problem that others have a different opinion. 1 Link to comment
