As much as I think it will be Van Dijk, he's 32 now with two years left on his contract. So we could end up having to choose another captain at the end of next season or we could go with somebody who is, almost, guaranteed to be here five to six years from now.
That for me is Trent.
Or a real out the box choice and give it straight to Szoboszlai. Captains his national team, would show a huge amount of trust in him and would keep the continuity of having a central midfielder as captain.
Ultimately though, there should be 11 captains on the park. They should all have the confidence to be vocal and they should all have the ability to lead by example.
Totally agree Billy aside from the Szoboszlai shout, what message would be sent out to Messers VanDijk, Robbo Ali or indeed Mo if the new kid on the block jumped ahead of those who may or may not have ‘Captain’ aspirations ?
Like your good self Trent for me ticks all the boxes, he’s at the ideal age, at 24, has matured like a fine wine and perhaps most importantly he’s Fookin Scouse, Virgil, Mo, Ali, Robbo, et al are all fine candidates for the armband, of course they are, but like you I can’t see them being here for the long haul as Trent I believe will be,
No brainer, Trent all day long, twice on a Sunday!!
