Who should be our new captain?

Postby milan_7 Tue Jul 04, 2017 3:11 pm

With Eugene leaving we will now have a new captain for the first time since Eugene was made captain in December 2011. Who do you guys think it should be? With a thin squad there really aren't many contenders but it is probably between Michael Marrone, Marcelo Carrusca (if he gets a new contract) and Isaias.

For me it has to be Isaias, the fact he stayed last season when he 100% could have gone elsewhere (especially considering the state we are in right now) shows tremendous loyalty to the city. I do like the idea of a local captain in Marrone but I haven't seen him talk that much on the pitch compared to Issy, Carrusca was also vice captain last season but he isn't even contracted right now and I think Isaias is more captain material.

Elrich for me if he wasn't on the injury list for the season. If not him then I'm lost. Isais is our bulldog and feel he needs a captain behind him to keep him cool lol.

Think there is more chance of one of us being captain than Elrich after that shit that went down on that interview Griffin did with 5AA!

But I do agree perhaps someone needs to be in Issy's ear to keep his composure.

Isaías Sánchez Cortés would make a great Captain.

Isaias every day of the week

Isaias must be captain. He is the heart and soul of the club, he lives and bleeds for the club.

Marrone would not be a bad option if it could not be Isaias for some reason

I lost a lot respect for Elrich the way he played for a lot of last season so that should rule him out.

Carrusca is a definite no even if he does sign which is far from certain.

Isaias with Marrone as his lieutenant.

IMO Marrone should be rewarded as a loyal servant of the club.

I think it's clear the club wants Isaias as the captain.

Elrich was for an ACL match. Although I think Isaias is a clear leader on the pitch. He spends so much time talking to the referee it makes sense.

Isaias - then he can legitimately mouth off to the ref all game.

Isaias or Elrich.

Pretty straight forward decision I imagine, and its Isaias.
