You have to remember they are currently arguing about whether they should sign this player for £5 million or that player for £14 million so they're shopping in a different league from us these days.

Wanderlust Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Burnley fans and others may not rate him but CJ showed last season that there is a motivator/mentor role for an older player in the squad. Personally I thought he made a great contribution when he was asked to play. He's moved on to a Turkish team which leaves a role for someone like Arfield. Remember, Arfield only made 6 starts for Charlotteville but was used as a sub loads of times, so I wouldn't be expecting him to start every game for us.

Wanderlust Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 CJ was last season's exoerienced mentor/motivator brought in to do a specific job on and off the pitch. With Arfield only making 6 starts in the MLS and being primarily used as a sub when the game required, it wouldn't surprise me if that is his job here.

If you actually buy this idea that your captain can do much to change stuff, he needs to be on the pitch, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there still such a thing as club captain and an onfield captain? From what mr evatt said a couple weeks ago about captaincy I am taking that as there is going to be a change.

Johnnyrotten Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 1 hour ago, W.cramp said: Wouldn't surprise me if he was made captain. Presumably that role will go to someone that's a "guaranteed starter", not to mention someone that's likely to be here longer than 10 months. So if he's made captain its a big statement, I still expect it to be Santos and when he passes on the baton I can only see it going to Tomo of the existing squad (and assuming IE still here).

thebells Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 1 hour ago, Big E said: So he’s realised that santos isn’t a leader. No problem there. Let him concentrate on playing This isn’t quite the case. Santos wants to focus on impacting the team without the pressure of captaincy. It’s a role that adds little value but, in the case of Santos, has added a weight of pressure that he can do without. You could argue that means he’s not a leader. And you’re probably right. But Evatt hasn’t ‘realised’ it. It’s the outcome of a professional conversation. I mentioned a few weeks ago, you’ll likely find they use different captains on the pitch this season, with Toal and Thomason at the top of that list. Arfield is very much in the Jerome mould in terms of playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
