Who Should Replace Barry As Captain?
Vital Villa asked, in a poll suggested by villan444:
If Barry goes, who should skipper Villa?
Ok, the IF became a WHEN but the results still hold true!
A massive 73% voted for Stiliyan Petrov.
Reo Hokey Cokey got 6%, James Milner 5% with John Carew, Curtis Davies, Brad Friedel and a.n.other all tied on 4%
Poll date: 01 Jun 2009
Suggested by: Villan444
Stan, Bulgarian captain and reliable (73%) Reo 'can'tholdontotheball' Coker (6%) Milner, England U21's captain (5%) Carew, bigger than everyone else! (4%) Davies, former WBA skipper (4%) Brad Friedel (4%) a.n.other (4%)
Our latest poll asks who should replace Barry in the centre of midfield IF we don't buy another midfielder.

Yep, Petrov's the man. He's made huge strides since his uncertain start and has been superb this season.

I would be shocked if any one other than Petrov is captain next season, that said NRC was touted last summer before Laursen got it, and he is likely to be involved with Barry gone. So who knows?

I think he will go for Friedel for a year before handing it over to Curtis Davies

I would like it to be given to NRC.I think he deserves a place in the side now barry has gone.But it would not bother me if it was given to petrov.I believe it is out of these two.NRC might get it because of past experience of being captain of a club.

NRC gets my vote, he has the leadership qualities needed. We should leave Stan to concentrate on playing
