So Arne slot has already told the player himself that he will be vice captain. Who does everyone think it will be? My guess is Salah.

Has to be Salah. Real leader him. Leads by example, model pro.
31 Jul 2025 23:34:17
It will be salah but it doesn’t really matter as we are blessed with natural leaders and captains anyway
Vvd Dutch captain
Salah Egyptian captain
Robbo Scotland captain
Szoboslai Hungarian captain
Endo Japanese captain
Pretty sure konate has captained France aswell
Same for Ali
Real natural leaders in the team.

I would give it Salah too as he plays week in week out and is a leader. He is always communicating.
Robbo is definitely vice captain material but will likely be out of team a lot.
31 Jul 2025 23:45:03
Robbo.

I think it's Salah top. A great professional who is always available. Another option would be Allison although I would rather prefer an outfield player to be captain.

I'd personally go with Salah for VC.
01 Aug 2025 01:14:30
Curtis.

Personally I wouldn't give it to Salah. I want him focused on one thing, goals and assists. In the same way he hasn't been asked to track back so much, at his age I want him only looking to the goal. Similar to Root in the cricket, relieved of the captaincy and his form went up.
As to who I would choose, I think it's got to be a first team player, so that rules out Robbo and Endo. Goalkeepers don't normally get it but Alisson would be a good shout. Age and time at the club don't matter to me so much but it's not easy to pick one stand out player.

Charlie Adam wore the armband before, right?
01 Aug 2025 08:22:13
Mo wants the armband, he already made it clear under Jürgen, I would think he would be the straightforward choice.
01 Aug 2025 08:47:40
Has to be Salah. And I'd want Robertson and Endo as the remaining two.
01 Aug 2025 10:13:15
The analogy with being a cricket captain is not quite accurate; they are rather different roles. Mo is the man for the job and I can’t see it influencing his efforts to make and score goals - if anything he’ll be even more determined.

Slot should announce Salah as the new VC with Isak joining the leadership group, Newcastle would love that.
01 Aug 2025 12:35:05
Salah but macca will become captain eventually I feel.
