Hugo Lloris

As much as he's a good candidate if not the best personality to do the job, I really don't want to see our captain in goal. The reason being is because in the centre of the park he will be able to command the strikers as well as the defenders.

I want dawson OUT. Captain?? How can multi million pound players respect him? World class players like lloris and eriksen must be thinking, how the fcuk is poor footballer captain. Hes bringing the players around him down instead of rising up to their standards. I dont want to see dawson in tottenham shirt again. Thank you daws for your honesty and efforts, but its now time to fcuk off.

Lloris was my preferred choice, but I'm fine with Kaboul being the main one (due to the things already mentioned above). But the part I found most interesting was ... Ade also being a vice captain ... And I actually really like that idea. He's clearly a big figure in the squad, and the players seem to have a good rapport with him too.

Talk about over-egging the pudding! A captain and vice-captain is more than adequate

You want as many players as possible to behave like they are the captain - I think Pochettino has made quite a shrewd move as all three will be Captain at different times this season and when they all play they should all feel some responsibility to step up.

Motivating Adebayor is the key to a decent season......last year we had to sack a manager to get him fired up
 
He's been here for ages and gives a damn. I can see why Poch chose him. I would have gone for Lloris as Fazio/Vert could surely push Kaboul out of a 1st team spot some time soon. Good luck to him though, may his injuries be behind him.
 
I tend to agree with moley moley . While Hugo may have a great deal of the qualities a player needs, his position is restricted on the field by virtue of his role. That's just fact. I wouldn't blame him for defensive errors, but a captain needs to be have access to the whole side to have impact. I don't see how a player can really be an effective captain if he's screaming from the back all the time. That's just my take.

Also, I'd rather give the armband to someone who might be with us for a good few years, rather than a short termer. With Hugo making comments earlier this year about not knowing what he'll be up to at the end of the season, I'm not convinced he'll be sticking around much more than another season.
