    chris kirkland could be a good replacement considering his good performances with the NT U-23s,along with paul robinson of course.

    Isn't Kirkland backing up Dudek though?

    I think the race for new no1. will be between Richard Wright and Paul Robinson, as they're the ones playing regular first team football, are quite young, and are playing well. Kirkland will be 3rd choice I think, because he doesn't get much first team football, but will be in there because of his talent and ability.

    oh, and umm...Keep Alex as captain..last season and this season he's been superb. Is it a coincidence it's because he is captain? Maybe. Maybe not.

    I think that Wright is out of the mix, he hasn't been any good of late.

    Have you seen him lately? He was slightly dodgy in the first game, but has recovered quite well, and once match fit (and confident after playing a number of games) he'll be on the verge of a recall.

    I saw him last year with Arsenal, and he'd have to improve a lot to be any good to me.

    I don't think conte fit the captin postion with DP playin ..

    Alex is a team figure .. when i see the captin badge on his hand .. i see determination ... ( i think it makes him more responsible in the field )

    .... in case of DP not playin .. conte or montero can be the captin

    Conte never seems to be fit until after christmas every season it seems as such he is a total liability as captain then

    did you see the way we got outpaced every other time in the match against feyenoord?conte would be a weakness in situations like those.

    yes,even though i hate to admit it.but otherwise he is a very steady mid who rarely underperforms and is extremely reliable.

    but the only time we would be worth playing is if we lost Tudor, Davids, Tacch, Baiocco, and Zambrotta all at once.

    i think iuliano should be the captain:D am kidding
    imo davids can't be captain.if he can't control himself how he will control the team.
    it could be montero or del piero.i think montero deserves that because of the years he gave for juve.alex is already a leader.
    do let montero control the defense and let alex control the others :D

    disagree,ian.i don't see how you can put him below baiocco and tudor and zamby isn't a CM while although conte can play RM lippi dosen't play him there.
