Who will be the captain under Vieira? Surely not Luka who has no leadership skills at all. His performances last season were average at best and should not be even guaranteed a place in the team.

Let's keep the ball this season!

Surely the obvious choice is Wilf ? It would show his commitment to all those who seem to be happy to see him go. Lets be honest here, there is no queue looking to sign him. Rather than have him in a sulk because nobody would see him as good value at his age, we would need to get him back on song. If Vieira puts an arm around him and says he wants him as captain we may see him at his best.

Maybe the new captain has yet to come into Palace ?

It will be Kouyate

And one of Viera's best friends

We need someone who can motivate the team if needed and pressure the ref when needed ie when Wilf has been whacked four times in five minutes and nothing happens. Except maybe a booking for simulation.
For me if he beats his injuries Tomkins, then Another and then Luka

Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).
