Penfold Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yes. The major problem last season was attitude and I think a lot of that comes down to the type of person you have as captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. Hopefully he'll bring a bit of professionalism back to the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbadteacher Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I think so. Seems like he'd fight for the team, what more do you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xGav8 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Mcghee has confirmed that Hartley will be captain and Zander Vice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickofthedons Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yeah, he a more experienced version on Zander. I dont think Zander should be too concerned, the job will be his soon enough, a year or two as vice will do him no harm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_min Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The correct choice. Sander can take over from him in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Mcghee has confirmed that Hartley will be captain and Zander Vice. Looks like a perfect distribution of responsibilities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I would be surprised if this wasnt a major influence in hartley signing. Mcghee will no doubt have told him if he comes he will be captain and the side will be built around him. MM has taken a fair bit of stick from the fans over the past year but i have always maintained i wont judge him until he gets his own side on the park, that said i will be reserving judgement until they have had a chance to gel. Getting Hartley is a huge signal of intent and ambition from Mcghee and club and for all the knocks they have taken they deserve praise for this. Lee Hendrie could be a good player for us but i just cant shake the feeling that having a player that got it on with jade goodie is not the kind of influence i want in the dressing room................... call me narrow minded if you want. Zico as captain, yes please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Still got this "his own team" bollocks on the go I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeen_Ladette Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Definitely right choice for captain. Despise(d) him, but great signing for us. He has a winning mentality that we have been missing so much for years, he's a leader, and his experience/football intelligence should be a steep learning curve for our youngsters. Can see him kicking the a rses of those that need a boot up them, where as wi Kerr he was probably arranging where to meet for the after game p iss up.

maverick sheep Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 It might have been said elsewhere but this is not a great signing unless either Hartley plays well for at least a season and the rest of the team are decent enough not simply to undo any good work Hartley does. OR his being there attracts better players/encourages the current players to up their game. Money dictates the signing better players is out the window, and I worry that paying Hartley's wages (and letting younger players like Williams pass by) also dictates that the rest of the team will be shit enough to undermine Hartley's ability. As for up-ing their game - if they couldn't up it when facing relegation then I doubt the ones left from last season are capable of playing any better anyway and as I said before, the rest we've signed (maybe other than folly) sound absofuckinglutely gash. Time will tell. But aye, fair choice for captain by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
