Just watched Harry on Football Focus, he is so 'one of us'. He may not wear the captain's arm band, but he may as well.

Yes.
And it's also exactly why playing him at #10 sometimes is a good idea, considering he doesn't like hard pressing anymore.
It takes that pressure off him and he can be clever and use the energy of those around him more and not blunt the team's vibe by jogging towards defenders in our first attempt to win the ball back from them.
Is this a new thing on football to heavily question an out and out centre forward even when he's scoring?
Don't ever remember Alan Shearer getting any Greif.
Everyone wants to own the "told you so" - so they just start slating everyone and everything as soon as they see a hint that they might have gone past their absolute peak.
World we live in. There’s also a lot of fans don’t seem to register that the opposition defence’s actual job, that they get paid for in real life, is to stop that happening. Score one, they want two; score two, shame they didn’t get three; score three, must be four next time. (I think no-one has an issue if you score five, though...)Is this a new thing on football to heavily question an out and out centre forward even when he's scoring?

You are having a laugh...he tells them everything, private meeting details, rebuild plans, internal wrangles over transfer decisions, talks with the players etc etc.I think we are better off with Lloris as the club captain - they have to do so many press engagements and Kane being there is just more opportunity for the press to dig for transfer speculation.
Levy, Poch, Lloris are all fairly similar in press conferences - generally stay on message, toe the party line, don't give much away.
What would giving him the armband change?Kane must be the captain. No ifs and buts.
What would giving him the armband change?
So what would change?He's the driving force of the team imo why not give him the armband.
So what would change?
But what would change? What would be the point of doing that?We'd have a new captain.

But what would change?To have a better captain.

I kinda agree with Guido 🇺🇦 that the captain is overrated, what you really need is a couple of real leaders on the pitch, preferably at the back, in midfield and upfront; Roy Keane was United's captain, but they had 4 or 5 leaders on the pitch at one point.
He was a great captain, but they had 5 or 6 personalities in that squad that could've been a great captain, Roy wasn't influential because Sir Alex gave him that armband, it was his character and enormous will to win that made him great.Roy Keane made a massive impact as captain tho.
