Jan Vertonghen

Every player should be doing that.

And yet in any team environment there are always leaders who set the tone.

That is the primary job of the captain, for me. Designated person who embodies what the manager wants.

This is the guy you follow, look at his example, earn his respect.

Of course, all players "should" do these things anyway, but its always the case that there are leaders and captains (even if under another name).

Anyone who thinks a captain is not important to a team has never played under a good one.

I think it can be absolutely vital, and agree that Jan is the natural right now. I also think Dier would be an excellent vice-captain. Harry wouldn't be bad too, but I think the first two have it. Dier will be a skipper one day IMO.

I agree that Verts would have made a good captain but given the fact that a few years back he was sulking his way off the pitch most weeks, I'm just happy he's turned it around and become one of the most consistent centre backs in the league.



For what it's worth I would give the armband to Dier.

But they won’t, hence the reason that a captain that does is very, very important.

He came off early injured, just seen him walking into the O2 for the boxing. He made good time getting back. Lol

[Kandi1977]

So he just wanted an early shower so he could leave early to get a good seat at the O2. That's clearly a sign that he's leaving this summer.

One Hotspur POTS - well deserved

Had to be him or Eriksen. No qualms with that decision.

Fully deserved for Jan. Was my choice. Eriksen a close second.

Eriksen got the Junior Members POTS.
So honours evenly - and rightly imo - shared.

I think Dier has to improve to be a guaranteed starter, he's had a fairly average season imo. His place should not be safe.

Vertonghen, on the other hand, has been the best defender in the division along with Azpilicueta (or however the phuck you spell it).

Super Jan Vertonghen!

Goal of the season for his Liverpool scorcher, I expect.

Of course, I’d forgotten about that as he’s been so atrocious lately.

His kids were wearing normal togs and not kitted out in Spurs gear! The sartorial equivalent of poor body language. A sure sign that he's away.
