Keane is the boss at the back. Has to be him long term if ancelotti sees him as his centre back to build around. Richarlison doesn't need the weight of it and Allan seems quiet to me.

Keane is quiet aswell. Just off the top of my head you roll off centre half captains down the years they all had gobs who organised. I dont think ive ever seen keane barking orders.
 
Despite him apparently not having a good command of the English language, I would opt for Allan to be our captain.

When Richarlison spat his dummy out over who should take the penalty, Allan quickly intervened to sort out and calm the situation between Richarlison and Sigurdsson. This type of behaviour is what I expect from a team captain, and is just as important as the shouting and pointing.

 
Mason Holgate for me. That derby when he had a right go at the RS's ladyboy speaks volumes for him - the lad is a bit of a snide who doesn't back down.
 

i think godfrey could be potential future captain material

i was going to see how old ferdinand was when he was made club captain by man utd and found out he was never made club captain, he was captain for the odd game every now and then but during the prem era their club captains were roy keane, gary neville, vidic and then rooney.

he did become club captain for leeds in 2001 when he was 22 or 23 i think similar age to godfrey now.
 
For me a captain is someone who can inspire, rally the troops and also someone who is respected by the whole team. They need to be able to communicate to all personalities from the extroverts to the introverts, not just be the guy with the loudest voice and the moodiest face. As an introvert myself, the best captains got the best from me by encouraging rather than shouting. Therefore on the basis of the current squad there’s only a very few who tick all criteria and that’s DCL, Allan and at a push Keane. These guys don’t sulk or moan, can be seen trying to encourage and above all you know the other players would listen to them.
 
Keane is possibly the worst captain material for me, He's soft as butter. He has the stature and everything to be a proper leader but he's not interested, A bit too nice and passive for me. Holgate shows way more captain traits than Keane.
 

Voted Pickford cos I'm bored and I like the way he frantically shouts 'calm down' with panic etched across every feature of his little face
 
It will be whoever is on the pitch with the most appearances for Everton. Carlo has been operating that way since he came in. Coleman has been captain, then it’s been passed to Sigurdsson if he’s playing, if not it’s been Keane, and then as soon as Holgate was back he got the armband instead of Keane. Some of these players aren’t even guaranteed to be in the first team. There’s a clear pattern, Carlo is just giving it to the most senior player on almost every occasion. The Italian national team have done this for ages. It just doesn’t feel like a big deal for Carlo.

If I had to pick I’d give it to Allan because he is going to be in the team if fit, and had the mentality and seniority to be respected by all team mates.
