I Was Pretty Gutted When I Got Wind Of This This Morning. Best Aberdeen Player I've Ever Seen (i'm only 17, not really been any contenders in recent years.....Arild Stavrum?). But Fair Dos To Him, He Is Good Enough. And It Can Only Help The Scottish National Team With Him Playing At A Higher Level (hopefully) Week In Week Out. But........We Really Should've Got More Than One Mil For Him!

Oh Well, Time For Big Zander To Provide What He Promised All Those Seasons Ago. Personally, I'm Putting MY Balls On The Line And Saying Zander For Captain, Although Everyone Is Saying Seve. But Zander Has All The Traits Of Russell, He Just Needs To Curb His Enthusiasm In And Around Our Own Box, Otherwise He's Solid As A Rock At The Back. And Andy Considine Showed A Lot Of Promise In The Second Half Of The Season.
It's Not As Bad As A Lot Of People Are Making It Out To Be. Yes We'll Miss His Leadership, But With People Like Severin, Nicholson, Brewster... and Even McNamara, We Can Easily Push For Europe Again Next Season.

He'll be back at the Dons in the future, i'm sure of that.

I very much doubt it. I reckon Sunderland will have a good season. Keane took them from relegation to winning the Championship so I'd say they will be fine.

It's the best move he can make, hopefully if not starting straighting away he gets a lot of games as a sub so he can start getting starts in the Scotland squad.
Why David Weir is still getting picked i've no idea...

I have realised how hard it is to read sentences when every word has a Capital At The Start.

Fair points though apart from the Zander bit...

I would assume Severin will become Captain. Nicholson anyone?

[Camie]

I thought maybe Nicholson but they put Severin as vice Captain for a reason.
I don't get why the papers are suggesting McNamara as captain because he has only just joined the club. Thats my opinion anyway.

Diamond's gonna be lucky to get a game next season let alone get the captaincy. Can't see Brewster holding down a place, either. He'll have to improve on his one cup goal and zero league goals. Oh, and stop looking EXACTLY like a 41 year old mannie huffing and puffing around the pitch

I thought Seve would walk into the job too but the Cooncil mole was saying today Jimmy is, at the moment, wanting to give the captaincy to McNamara. I can understand it on a pure experience level, but it's nae exactly good for the team if someone who's hardly played with them is given the armband right away. Having said that, he's a natural leader and will certainly be more vocal than Anderson, captain or not. Anderson's only weaknesses for me are - he's a bit short for the giants of the Premiership and he's nae vocal enough. I reckon Jackie will cut out the silly mistakes that Considine and Diamond were doing on a fairly regular basis last season through his leadership and vocalness. (Assuming either of them get any pitch time.)

I wouldn't put it past going to Nicholson though. I reckon if Clark was a bit more vocal Jimmy would have handed him the armband by now. The chosen one, and all that.....

[-matthEw-]

Hopefully Severin as captain will get him performing at 100% far more often. Nicholson to step up if Seve is ever out injured.

well gutted about Anderson, ive never loved a player (fuck that, ive never loved a person) as much as i have Cadger. the word legend gets thrown around too often these days, but he is someone fully deserving of that title.

Agreed. That must have taken fucking ages to type.

I agree that I always think the captain should be a player who's spent a bit of time with the club.

Severin does seem to be the best choice at the moment.

If Jimmy wants to go a little mad though he could give to Michael Hart

I think if Jimmy was to go outwith the Nicholson, McNamara or Severin options then I reckon he might start thinking about giving it to Chris Clark. Never misses a game and he's a Jimmy favourite.

Doesn't mean it's a good idea, but I think it's a possibility.

Am I the only one who couldn't give a fuck who the captain is?

That said, I would say Severin is the best choice.
