Steven Caldwell
Michael Bradley
Well for a captains role I think going with the best pure player on the pitch isn't always the best route. Its a character thing in the dressing room, its a leadership quality with core positions and interaction with up and coming players.
I rely on the coaching staff who work / play with these guys and see the characteristics that they value for our team to be the decider on who gets that role. I am fine with Caldwell retaining that role, but can understand if they think Bradley is the better fit.

Caldwell should be Captain.
Bradley may be the better player, but that doesn't mean he should be captain. Not yet at least.
Bradley is unproven in this league - when he was here last, it was a different league.
Give the guy a season or two to actually prove himself before heaving honours and leadership roles on him.
Caldwell is only here to transition the team - If all goes to plan, he'll be gone in a year or two having a younger replacement take over his spot. That's when Bradley - if he proves himself - should be considered for the captain role.
Ok. So we will all agree to disagree.
but let's make a bet: By the 10th game of this season Bradley will be captain of this team.
If I'm wrong I will by the moderators of this forum a beer at the following home game.
deal?
*shakes hand*
ill make sure to come thirsty to this game. :?)
If Caldwell starts the season as captain, the only reason he wouldn't be captain come game 10 is because of injury or if he loses his place on the team. I have never seen a team change captains mid season just because the team isn't performing up to scratch.

When asked about Bradley Caldwell says he's a future captain of the club. Doesn't have to mean this year but it's coming up
