Rooney will have a better season than RVP.
Rooney is a good choice for captain. Not only is he talented he gives all he can for the team.
Fletcher as VC is the joke.
I really don't rate Rooney as a leader. The amount of times he has gone out in public and eyed a move to United's direct rivals is preposterous. Sure, he may score more goals than RVP this year and his workrate is good - but he's a vain, stroppy bloke who never grew up and has always failed to deliver on the biggest stage.
I'm not saying he isn't one of the best players in the league, but I reckon captains need to be heart and soul players. People who can say to their team mates 'follow me'.
Chelsea has Terry, Liverpool has Gerrard, City has Kompany, Everton has Jagielka and we have Dawson. Obviously the last two are hardly great players, but they do scream loyalty to the cause.
Arsenal have been in a bit of a mess with their captain being sold, so they've gone and given it to an older head in Mikel Arteta with the aim of someone establishing themselves as leading candidate by the time he retires/departs in a year or two.
I know Fletcher's a bit of a joke of a player these days, but I would have given it to him for this season. It's the next best thing after Moyes let Vidic walk out. Fletcher has been through a lot and is a club stalwart, he won't play every game in which case the armband goes to Rooney - but by giving it to a 28 year old with the kind of past WR has, you're locking in at least four years of him having it unless he gets sacked.
I just don't think you guys can trust him.
I'm really not having a crack, I don't mind United at all; it's just my opinion and I think it's backed up by reason.
