Eddiepolio3 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 If as expected, Shanks leaves in the summer who do we think should be the next captain? Personally I'd go for Frankie as the match day captain and have Craig Gordon as the Club captain assuming he's not going to play every game.

I realise I could be in a minority of one here but I never thought Shankland was a great choice as captain. Still don't tbh. As talismanic as he is, we have had far better leaders in Gordon, Pressley etc in the past. Just don't see that Captians presence in Shanks.

saxondale Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 We've got a few options tbf. Zander, Kent, Halkett and Kingsley would be good options. But like others have said, would be good to have a CM to throw in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Kent is the obvious choice. 9 times out of 10, I would go for a centre half - they can see what is happening and are used to shouting at the useless tossers in midfield and up front (so says an ex centre half...)

gregzy2k7 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) Calem Neiwenhof could be an outside the box shout, think he could really kick on next season. The obvious one would be Frankie Kent if Shankland left, although if Halkett can get himself in and stay fit ahead of Rowles, then he is quite a strong character also.

1874Jambo Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Why not just let Gordon carry on as captain with someone as vice if he's not playing, don't understand why shankland was still captain when Gordon was playing did he ever relinquish the captaincy?

Uncle Buck Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I think Halkett would have got it over Shankland at the time, if he’d not got injured in the same game as Gordon. Sure it’ll be between Clark, Kent or Kingsley this time if Shankland leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch41 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 One man who does a lot of talking and gets players told is Blair Spittal. Maybe too soon for him coming in this summer but making him a new captain isn’t unprecedented. But I’m sure Naisy will make the right choice after the preseason when he can judge who he wants and what is best for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR INCREDIBLE Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 14 hours ago, been here before said: Make that a minority of 2 said so at the time but the JKB Peps thought better Kent or Kingsley for me regardless of Shankland staying or going Totally agree !!! Kent for me !! I started a thread on this earlier in the season and got slated ! If things aren’t going Shanklands way in a game you can see him going in the huff !! Not captain material I’m afraid ! Whatever fans views on Pressley there is no doubt he was a great skipper !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We_are_the_Hearts Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The role of the Captain has changed over the years and its not about the big defender that shouts any more. Its the player who leads by example and commands respect and unites the player. De Bruyne at City, Odegaard at Arsenal. Shanks has been a great Captain.

TheBigO Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 8 hours ago, Hansel said: Spittal and Dhanda were captains at Well and County so it's good that we're adding potential leaders to the squad. They may be future captains for hearts perhaps That's a very good point which had escaped me. Not only signing best players from teams, but in signing captains, we'd hopefully be signing good "types" as well. I think this is something we've been very very good at in recent years. Even guys who've perhaps not had the impact we'd have hoped have been good characters, and that includes guys coming in from overseas, which is surely harder to research. It's something Joe talks about and Naisy has raised a number of times, how important character is. I've said it a bunch of times and hopefully not setting myself for a fall, but got a really good feeling about Dhanda - he's just what we need in terms of talent, has something about him, a Hearts connection, I think he's going to be brilliant. And I think Spittal and Penrice will be good signings too actually, Penrice perhaps something of a squad player but Spittal I think can have impact. They're good additions. Also what these guys mean is that we can concentrate on just a couple of important signings now - dare I use the word "marquee...."? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
