Samba - Captain

[Michael229]

Chris Samba has said on twitter that he is captain.

I think it makes sense. He's the idal candidate and will be an ever present when fit for years, unlike Hill.

Nelsen was captain and obviously this was passed to Hill as a temporary measure once we knew he was leaving.... so assume Hill always knew it was short term and would be reviewed after the window, so shouldn;t demoralise him.

That said, wouldn't have done much harm letting him keep the armband for the season, except, now it will be easier to drop him if HR feels the need.

It was only announced about 2 weeks ago that Hill was club captain until the end of the season?!

We thought Barton would be ideal captain too ;)

Bullsh1t. Clint is captain. That will be very disappointing, if true.

[OneEyedWilly]

how many 'captains' have we had this season?!

You don't have to be captain on the pitch if your club captain. Think hill will still be club captain just think we may see him dropped for a few more games now as he is actually still injured and playing through pain like he has been most season and last

One maybe club captain and the other team captain?

Can't see any tweet where he says he's captain???

[QprSinceBirth]

Clint is captain , samba hasn't tweeted anything like that so what are you on about?

[Rangers77]

@pheling08 yea as number 5 shirt and captain

Is this the tweet?? Very disappointing if so. Am sure Clint will take it on the chin, but he really shouldn't have to. He's earned that armband the hard way. An has been captain here since day one.

Some one asked him if he was in the squad, and he replied...

is this a race thing???

Too much emphasis is put on a captain in football. Its' just an armband. Its' not like rugby where they have a role to play over and above the normal playing duties.

Clint is a leader regardless of having an armband or not and I'm sure he is big enough & ugly to not be upset at Samba having the armband - he will be his usualy reliable self regardless. I, personally, am not too fussed who has the armband.

no matter whether the armband means anything in modern football or not, to have it taken away and given to a new player after having received it only a few weeks ago is a kick in the teeth and i just hope it doesnt affect Hill's performance even by 1%
