tucker Posted June 17, 2024 Report Share Posted June 17, 2024 If rumours are true Liam Gordon is heading down south.deserves it football is a short career. Who would everyone want for the captain probably Mitov would be my first choice but think he'll be away before the transfer window end's. I'd go for Sven think out of everyone else always plays 100 percent seems to enjoy playing for saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Paddy Posted June 17, 2024 Report Share Posted June 17, 2024 If he stays, McGowan as a transition for 1 season. I doubt sven will play enough (or at least feature highly in plans for next season) to get the nod. Mitov seems an obvious option, but can't see him still being here, unfortunately.

Gekko Posted June 17, 2024 Report Share Posted June 17, 2024 Mitov would be good right enough, but there's always the chance he could be off. If McGowan stayed, then Levein might be inclined to go with him. I personally would be another who wouldn't mind Sprangler to be honest. I remember at Pittodrie last year, Robinson had just made a mistake and had everybody screaming at him. Sven though, just applauded his effort and calmly told him what he should have done instead. I was impressed by that, and I think it shows leadership qualities if you can stay calm and be a positive influence, when all around are losing it. Also, I bet he'd absolutely love it. Yeah, my vote's with Sprangler. Would it be the first time we'd have an Austrian captain? I may be wrong but I don't think Sekerlioglu ever had the armband.

Cagey Posted June 17, 2024 Report Share Posted June 17, 2024 Was just thinking about this today and honestly couldn't come up with anyone. It would be better to be someone that plays every week. Not keen on goalie captains and can't at the moment think who would be regular and captain material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted June 17, 2024 Report Share Posted June 17, 2024 Will be someone signed I'd guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted June 17, 2024 Report Share Posted June 17, 2024 McGowan wouldn’t play enough. Maybe Clark, but same problem. Smith? I think Mitov is likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

templeofsaints Posted June 19, 2024 Report Share Posted June 19, 2024 Sprangler comes across as too nice to be a captain. Has to be an outfield player though and ideally someone who's not just walked in the door this summer. Clark, May possibly or Drey? But then you want someone who can play 75% of the games.

Maskrey Posted June 19, 2024 Report Share Posted June 19, 2024 Captain will be picked when the squad is finalised and will likely be a new signing. The players who are confirmed as staying are not captain material and the ones who are borderline if they are staying or not will probably not play enough minutes to be captain.

R.B.B:- Adz Posted June 20, 2024 Report Share Posted June 20, 2024 - Someone with leadership qualities - Someone who will be a regular starter - Someone who the squad respect - Someone who trains well and sets a certain standard - Someone who has a decent relationship (or understand at least) with the management team I genuinely can’t think of anyone!!

blueheaven Posted June 20, 2024 Report Share Posted June 20, 2024 I feel we should sign someone new to be captain. Partly because I can't see any obvious candidates among the squad, and partly just because I feel an outside voice would be beneficial for helping to take us in a new direction. That means it would probably have to be someone Levein already knows pretty well and has probably worked with in the past. Doesn't feel a very commonly done thing for a club to sign a new player specifically to be captain. I do remember Sturrock doing it with Jim Weir but that was a long time ago now.

tucker Posted June 23, 2024 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2024 Loosing Gowser, considine, Gordon Mitov and Dan we've lost a lot of leaders in that dressing room. We need to sign players players with great experience to help the younger ones through games otherwise we'll be in another relegation battle pezza70 and Willie Peat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted June 23, 2024 Report Share Posted June 23, 2024 I guess we are going down the journeyman route again, having no reserves footy kills a club like ours, there could be natural leaders in our younger brigade but unless they get sent out on loan, they get limited footy on the park.
