Reece James

Chilwell vice captain. 

I can only assume that Silva is not a planned first choice for Pochettino then.

And not pulling a muscle while climbing that step.

Or it's a long-term situation. Which wouldn't apply to Thiago.

My captains.

So who's stepping in as third captain once James and Chilwell are both crocked LOL

My money would be on Fernandez if that happens ...

Cripes, is Pochettino standing in a hole? He's 6'. Same as them. Or is that not Pochettino?

Pochettinino.

Il piccolo maestro!

He's of Italian descent, from Piedmont in the north, bugs me that he doesn't use the Italian pronunciation. 

 

[timetowaste]

The best choice in my opinion, really happy for the lad, just hope we can keep him fit.

Saw that the thread was hot, came in expecting the worst and that he had picked up another injury. Thank f**k it was something positive for once.

This is how I found out. Rhys annoyingly supports Tottenham…

I'm quietly hoping it was run past Thiago first and he gave his thoughts!

Good choice Chelsea!

 

[erskblue]

Good to hear he’s been appointed captain.

Always the correct and only choice!!

Blue flowing through his vains!!

The genuine article unlike some “made in china” fake!

Let's hope he can stay injury free.

Made up Reece got it, but think it should’ve been Silva just for one season, and Reece vice until taking it over.

 

[Zeta]

Silva should have been vice if Reece was captain, imo. But he'll still be a leader without armband.

Silva will be captain this season how frequent do you think both Reece and Ben will play

I know we shouldn’t joke about it but if the past few seasons are anything to go by both will get injured in winter and come back in spring!

That's the key. Leadership is more than about armbands. The James-Chilwell combo is the future, which Thiago isn't, regardless of his outstanding attributes. Wouldn't surprise me if he recommended the J-C combo.
