but giggs is still here, only that he's vice captain. will van der sar can be one, but a goalkepper as a captain isn't the best alternative either.Originally posted by walesa:While there's no doubt in my mind Gary Neville's the worst permanent captain in all my time of watching United (which dates back to the Robson era and has spanned 3 other captains in Bruce, Cantona and Keane), I don't see too many in the current squad with leadership qualities anyway - in fact, it's so ridiculous I wouldn't even find it absurd to consider throwing the captaincy to Rooney.
It's a far cry from the 90's when we had half a team of worthy captains playing in the same team. Case in point, at least 7-8 players in the 93/94 side(Schmeichel, Parker, Irwin, Bruce, Pallister, Keane, Ince, Giggs, Kanchelskis, Cantona, Hughes) would have made worthy captains in their own right - only pity they all had to play at the same time...![]()
I think the problem is basically, the lot of Fergie's fledglings (the first generation) that remain all have no leadership quality - Giggs and Scholes are great footballers in their own right, but I don't think you'd say they can galvanise the team the way Robson, Bruce or Keane did (admittedly, Cantona - although deservedly regarded as one of the finest players to have ever played for United - wasn't a very good captain in my view too).Originally posted by stellazio:but giggs is still here, only that he's vice captain. will van der sar can be one, but a goalkepper as a captain isn't the best alternative either.

i never said a goalie can't be a captain, i'm just saying that the impact it has on the team is different.Originally posted by iveco:Who says goalie can't be captain? Oliver Kahn was Germany's WC2002 captain.
