mizer Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Who would you like to see as captain? For me it has to be between Langfield and Diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMaster Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Diamond captain for sure. Between Clangers and Fozzy for vice. Depends on players coming in i guess, but still think it should be a player that has been at the club rather than a newbie that should get captaincy.

BobbyBiscuit Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 MM said it would be a new player, and if we get him I'd imagine it will be Hartley. (very unlikely we'll get him in my view) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinburghdon Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'd appoint diamond or langfield, although if we sign hartley I'd make him captain straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Langfield. Mainly because he's going to be 1st choice in his position. Kerr was undroppable and that certainly was nothing to do with performance. I don't want another captain who hasn't proved he should be playing every week. Clangers needs to learn to handle more pressure generally so he stops shitting it when he's out his depth (ie munich). Gettng used to the responsibility of captain could be good for him and his game. Not true of kerr and i personally doubt it would be true of zander. MM said it would be a new player, and if we get him I'd imagine it will be Hartley. (very unlikely we'll get him in my view) http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/Article.aspx/1832270?UserKey= seems he may have hartley earmarked for captain with zander the 2nd choice.

Kowalski Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Diamond could get captaincy of Aberdeen FC Boost for battling defender Zander By Charlie Allan Published: 19/07/2010 ABERDEEN FC boss Mark McGhee today admitted he is warming to the idea of making Zander Diamond the next club captain. McGhee said earlier in the summer that he hoped to sign a new skipper to succeed Mark Kerr who moved to Greece under freedom of contract in the close season. That has still to happen, so McGhee gave the armband to Aberdeen FC defender Diamond for the friendlies at Fraserburgh and Peterhead. Diamond has never hidden his desire to eventually lead the club he has been with since a boy. And McGhee certainly hasn’t ruled out the possibility of that finally happening. When asked if Zander could hold get the captain’s armband permanently, McGhee replied: “Of course it’s a possibility. “When you are looking for a captain you are looking for someone who will be an ever present in the team. “If he stays fit, I can’t imagine Zander ever being out of my starting 11.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If by some miracle we sign Hartley then he would be the best option. If we do not then probably Langfield would be the best of a bad lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God Willie Miller = God Therefore quite logical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harcus Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Should have been Diamond for some time now IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_min Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hartley. If not Diamond/Foster. I don't like keepers as captains, and I doubt Langfield could cope with the pressure anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madbadteacher Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Well, looking at our history, Buchan was a young captain, Miller was young when Ally gave him the nod, so maybe young, centre halfs is the way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyvie is a great captain for the Scotland u19s but way too young for Aberdeen captain and as for building a team round him - we will be cashing in on him at the end of next season.

willie_millers-barmyarmy Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Could we hold onto him for a bit if we made him feel important, ??......captaincy bigger contract (im not sure when it runs out to be honest, but im assuming by your post its the end of season 2011-2012?

Aye, next season. I dont want him to stay I want him to be bought, if they overrated cuntnugget Wilson at rangers is worth £5m we can make some money and clear the debt.

Dandy_Don Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Personally don't think any of our current players have done enough to earn the honour of being captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Has to be Diamond for me (of the players we already have) Was a difficult season for him last year, but I think giving him the captain's armband would do him the world of good. Guaranteed never to hide when things aren't going so well on the pitch, drives the team forward with his forays up the park, isn't scared to dish out the odd rollocking, and, of course, he is one of our top players.
