Told you 2/3 months ago Beckham would make a good captain.Not many agreed with me.Lets hope he keeps it.
Ryan Giggs or Gary Neville. It needs to be someone who plays their heart out for United!
Why even bring this up?
Keane is our captain and no one else deserves it othen than Keane!

beckham doesn't gives all out for united?
i certainly think he works harder than giggs & gary neville(with no mean of disrespect to these two wonderful players).
beckham deserves the captain armband.o'shea has hinted that becks might be the man to lead MU.
this is give keane to concentrate more on his game as the armband certainly giving him xtra burden.he has done superb job over the last few years and it's time for becks to lead united

There's a news article on this site where O'Shea gave a hint that Beckham might retain the Captaincy - so its topical and possible.
Keane should stay as captain for atleast this season.
Long term i think Rio will be captain.

I think Giggs the brilliant player that he undoubtedly is.just isn't captain material he isn't vocal enough and we need someone who is in the centre of the park and dictating the play.Keano end of story. <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />
I don't even see the hint in what O'Shea said. Hmmm. But certainly Keane would still be the captain this season! After Keane though, maybe it would first be Becks, then Rio. Becks does give his heart out for United, if it isn't obvious enough.
and the effect on keane if they stripped him of the captaincy? so you reds who would prefer bex to retain the armband would be prepared to see roy leave insulted as the price? that would be Utd walking out on Keane. surely we know enough of roy to see that a guy this proud is not gonna take this well?
Keane is sir alex's voice on the pitch. no contest.

soccer365.com is saying Keene is returning in a fortnight. Maybe that will silence all this silly debate.

Keane is our captain and will so remain til he leaves the club.
Who will take the armband when Keane's gone is anybody's guess. Fergie mightn't even be the manager then. Becks is a good captain tho I'd prefer someone more like Keane. He'd probably be the choice ATM, however.
Everyone (players, managers etc.) always says Gary Neville would make a great captain.
Giggs was captain for some matches last season, but isn't a captain material IMO. A fantastic footballer but not captain fantastic.
Rio?
From the players at United today I can only see Beckham, G Neville or Rio as the United captain when Keano leaves.

What about Nicky Butt?
he's playing regulary now, and was before Keane's injury. He has a fantastic fighting spirit and i reckon the leadership qualities are there given the chance to show them.
Although i do reckon Becks or Rio are the likely successors to Keane

Butt?? May be he will be the captain, but i think he is not the first choice captain.
I've read through a few threads and surprisingly found a lot of fans want Gary, Rio or even Butt to be vice-captain rather than Beckham. Tell me what has Beckham done wrong. We got 6 win in a row when he captained the side yet people are still unsatisified! Ask Fergie, Errikson and every player in the England national team, they all agree Beckham is captain material. I see the most obvious property of him is that he has that kind of will and desire to shoulder the extra obligation on him, and he usually up his game when he has the armband and when other teammates are not performing.

You know it makes sense!
Isn't it pleasing that a number of players have legitimate claims to the captaincy?
I think Becks will retain the capaincy, if only for continuity and stability. He's done ok.
I'd still prefer Gary Neville though, or even Rio. They are more vocal and organise players around them better. Becks is a lead-by-example captain, but if he has a stinker...

I wonder how can GN organize and inspire the whole team when he is on RB position. Rio can succeed Becks as captain in the future though.
A lot probably depends on how it goes with the FA. A long ban would make a change more realistic, but I can't see it! IMO, Roy will be captain till he leaves. Is that now a possibility? <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

I´m pretty shuret that becks would win every captain poll (without keane) by a mile. Well, maybe not on this forum. But this forum isn`t representative anyway. Far too many irish posts, compared to their laughable population. After two years visiting this forum I have yet to read a positive topic about becks from an irish here.

Posts about Beckham have been fair! Just because people are not obsessed with the guy as you are(judging by your name). Grow up for Christs sake and get a life 'becks75'. Weirdo!
one question. is prc in ireland ?
Serious; he has been judged with more fairness by the majority than veron on this forum.
But you can`t deny the fact that some (less)people here have still to post something positive about him. 95% of these people are irish.
But it is understandable in some way. He is the captain of the english team and the darling of the english press.
Both things aren`t very popular in ireland.
Or do you deny that ?
And for me being obsessed ? Well he is my favorite player, but that´s all. Judging by name there are many other "obsessed" poster here.

Spot on. Its very sad really that people don't see that he's a United player and current Vice Captain of our side, and not just the England Captain.
What has the fact that he's english got to do with it. All these Irish posters are supporting an english team, what does that tell you

That their favourite players are Keano, the ex Ireland Captain, and O'Shea, best player of the season so far...
Keane may be the favourite but its wrong to say that the Irish posters all have a pop at Becks. Yes he falls over a lot without being touched (that might be something to do with it actually) but we all know he's a Red through and through and gives his all. Maybe he's just been talked up too much and people expect to see Zidane like performances but those of us who have supported the club for years know his value and what a talen he is.
Not many footballers are Einstein though. I always believe that if you are going to do something in front of the ref you might as well get hung for a sheep as a lamb (as they say) and Keane should have throttled McAteer instead of a forearm tap <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />
