Love him to bits but It's patently obvious that Jags is too soft to be captain.
I know it may not be too popular but my choice would be Naismith. It's not about being the best player in the side, it's about setting an example and making sure the slackers are in no doubt they are not fighting for the cause, and no one, bar Bešić (and possibly Osman) seems to have the same grit to do that. OK, I was impressed with Tim Howard when he laid into those still lying on the floor after Stoke's second goal, but I've never been in favour of a GK as captain and, to be honest, TH shouldn't really be in the side.
Say what you like about Phil Neville, he was that sort of captain too.
So who's your choice, and why?
