I've still never quite understood the logic behind giving the Captaincy to a GK or a Striker... they're at totally the wrong ends of the field, and must surly represent a 'nominal' Position of honour... rather than one that can actually affect a game.
Look at all the greatest Captains in football history... OK, Dino Zoff aside...
but for us, the great Tottenham captains were the likes of Alf ramsey, Blanchflower, MacKay, Mabbutt, Perryman, Roberts, Campbell (sorry) King, even Dawson... they were all either Central Defenders or Midfielders...
I fail to see how someone in Goal, or 'up Top' can truly affect what goes on in the middle... he'll have to get his message across to hat many players, and besides, Lloris nd Kane strike me as two of the 'quieter' members of the squad... which one of them is gonna give Dembele a bollocking? (not that he needs it!)
But you get the idea...
For me, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Dier, Wanyama (and one day Winks) all have Captain potential... it's the one sticking point of our team that doesn't sit easy with me, and a trick that I think Poch is missing!
