NobbySol 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) Ive been reading a few other links and many have identified nicky butt as a potential captain. Am i the only one who thinks hes prty damn shit and unbelievably overated. Personally id like to see him leave the club as long as a squad player is brought in. Does anyone agree with me or am i in the minority..... Edited July 21, 2007 by MattM4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Toon 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 He had a very good season last year, but I don't think he could be captain due to his performances before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbySol 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 but he usually made mistakes in the game for example mis laid passes and occasionally looked like he didnt care at times. but yea spose he did have a few gd games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I thought he was excellent at times last season, showed Parker up on several occasions, if Allardyce can have the same kind of effect on Butt's career as he did with Gary Speed, I'd be happy for him to be an active member of the team.

Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 With the exception of the likes of James Milner and Nobby, Butt was one of our best players last year. I would say he had more than a few good games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WubbleUC 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 He redeemed himself last year with some great games, it was enough for me to put what happened in the past. Don't see the point in hanging onto it. I certainly wouldn't mind if he was made captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevieintoon Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 The only reason people are dismissing him as captain, is his first season and Cardiff, and prejudice against the fact he's Man Utd through and through. Fact. If ever a toon player has come back from adversity and deserved respect it;s him.

Baggio 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Like Milner he's a player who stands out for giving 100% rather than actually being that good, I'd like to see him become a squad player and for us to sign that young lad Diarra from Chelsea.

tinofbeans 86 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 shouldn't be captain, should be first choice holding midfielder. until we get someone better. was excellent in some games last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Captain should be pretty much expected to play every game if fit. Seeing as how Barton has now taken Butts place it would be pretty silly to make Butt captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'll go along with that. The fact that Milner and Butt are held in so high regard last season is more due to the utter shitness that was last season.

TheInspiration 1 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Definitely one of our best players, but I think NobbySol makes a point in that he was a bit mistake-prone at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 either way, Barton is a shoe in for CM. Leaving Dyer, Emre and Butt for the other spot. Butt is likely to be our 4th choice CM. |Hardly a great choice for captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunedin 0 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I think Butt was excellent last season and I would hate to lose him. The occasions when he misplaced passes mainly happened when another inept player passed back to him when he was already marked or rightly did not expect the ball to be given back to him. He put in a huge effort in every game I saw him play in. Some people just cannot see past his first awful season here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Excellent is massive overstatement imo. Did well in a poor side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
