Whatever the criteria is for the captaincy for it to have any value it has to be earned. And after the season Son has just had he certainly hasn't earned it. It would take rewarding mediocrity to a new level at Spurs.Son seems to do a good job as captain for his country. He's mostly loved by his teammates bar the one fight with Hugo. It might help him raise his game further if we gave it to him, shows we trust him as the main man now Kane's left - he's carried that weight on his shoulders successfully before when Kane's been injured.
I'd go for Bentancur too but I don't think it's as ridiculous a suggestion as some thing. I think people can over estimate the captain's role on the pitch tbh. You can still have vocal organisers behind him shouting at players to keep shape. A captain can just be the best guy to put an arm round a players shoulder after a mistake and tell them to keep their head in the game, lead by example and as others say, grab a game by the scruff of the neck and we know he has all that in his locker.
What are his leadership qualities?I wouldn't mind seeing Son given the vice captaincy, but not the captaincy. I think he does a good job as captain for SK, but for club it is a bigger job.
Son is a big character around the team and he does inspire a lot of our younger players. He has good leadership qualities.
Granted but so was Souness & Keane, arguably captains of two of the finest teams we've ever seen.Romero’s a hot head. I’d have Sony over him every day.
All entirely speculative, for as long as Kane is at the Club he will be captain, and Levy won't be letting him go anywhere right now. I'm not saying that that will necessarily be the right decision, but I'll be very surprised if Kane isn't in the eleven for Postco's first PL outing. Levy will want Postco to have every chance to succeed, and the odds on that happening are considerably better if Kane remains with us.
I think it will be a club decision unfortunately. If Hugo goes and Kane stays, it's a certainty Kane gets the arm band.I think you're right. Once again we may become subservient to Kane by letting him continue being the captain. He'll be pushing Maddison out of the way and taking the free-kicks.
Even if he signs the new contract, I would not consider him as someone that should ever wear the armband. In the current England team I would have Hendo, Stones, Maguire, Walker and Rice as ahead of him.
This is where we learn a lot about Big Ange.
Will AP get the backing from the board and the fans if he starts making those tough decisions? That's my fear.I think you're right. Once again we may become subservient to Kane by letting him continue being the captain. He'll be pushing Maddison out of the way and taking the free-kicks.

Whilst I will be happy to see Kane remain with us, the prospect of Richarlison leading the attack horrifies me, I do share the view regarding his taking over the captaincy. For me he doesn't demonstrate any worthwhile leadership qualities.I think it will be a club decision unfortunately. If Hugo goes and Kane stays, it's a certainty Kane gets the arm band.
It will be all for the wrong reasons.

Kane is so beyond the pale as to any sort of scrutiny beyond forums like these that I can just see the backlash now if he pulls him after 60 minutes because he's not happy with what he's seeing. Or he doesn't start him every game.
If Kane runs down his contract and we have another season that doesn't meet expectations there will be only one person taking the flak and we'll be looking for a new manager next season and having the same discussions on here in a year's time. .
