:lol: Marchisio as captain. The guy first has to stop hiding.
It's not about who is better on the pitch. Vidal getting the armband is okay as long as we sell Marchisio and Chiellini. You cannot take the captaincy from a senior player and give it to a fairly new player. It's harmful to the entire team.

It doesn't matter how long is someone here. It's got more to do with influence and charisma. By the time Buffon retires Vidal will be here 5-6 years. He is more influential and already more popular player among Juve fans. And Marchisio was never a captain at least not when Buffon and Chiellini were on the pitch so I don't see how can you take captaincy from him when he didn't have it in a first place. The guy is hiding for most of the matches and you want him to be captain??? I understand about Chiellini. He's next probably but not Marchisio. It's bench for him in the next years forget about captaincy.
And remind me how was it harmful for the entire team when DP took captaincy from Conte?

I think Marchisio captained the team on several occasions to be recognized as a vice-captain already. After Marchisio, there's no clear successor. Storari is nearing retirement and isn't a starter anyways. De Ceglie isn't influential nor a starter and will probably be sold soon. Bonucci got the captaincy once and isn't recognized as a captain.

Chiellini and Marchisio played in Serie B with us. We should never disrespect either by stripping armband of 'em. My view is that it's going to be harmful to the team. In 3-4 years from now, you don't know what will happen but as long as Chiellini and Marchisio are in the team, I don't think Vidal should be a captain over 'em.

When Buffon and Chiellini weren't on the pitch. How is he a vice captain than?:sergio: Chiellini is a vice captain. My view is it won't be harmful ad I've seen players losing their captaincy before. Conte to DP. When someone has more influence it's foolish to hold him down. It all comes to who other players are recognizing as their leader. And judging by the events on the pitch Vidal is a real general. Others follow him already. Marchisio doesn't have it.
And again striping what armband? He was couple of times captain but so was Storrari and some other guys.

Dude, I know Chiellini is the vice-captain! Stop pulling a RUS. Marchisio is recognized as a 2nd vice-captain. If by any chance, Marchisio clearly gets the bench as done to Conte earlier when the captaincy was given to ADP, then it's fine. Other than that, I don't see it happening.

And I don't see Marchisio for most of the matches but it doesn't mean he's not playing. As I said the captain will be the player who has the most influence among his team mates. Vidal clearly surpasses Marchisio in this aspect. He's the one they most look out to.

FFS let's sell Claudio already even it's for peanuts. He's a mediocre one-season wonder player, with no capabilites and personality whatsoever to wear the captain armband.
