For me Henderson is a decent midfielder, and has improved over the time he has been at the club, but next years captain?

Have we ever been in situation before when a decent player was awarded the club captains armband for the club?

Ive gone back years and only seen quality players hanson, souness, hypia, gerrard, and the like.

I think Henderson is a good bit better than "decent", but even we accept your view on his ability, can you suggest a better option?

In terms of performances, there's really only himself and Lucas who have been consistently good all season. Migs and Coutinho have been good since January, but neither have been consistently good. And even if they had been consistent all season, I think they're both better off concentrating on their own game and not having to lead the team on the pitch.

Sahko captained PSG a few times, and he'd certainly one who has the potential to be a very good player and strong personality in the dressing room in the future. But he needs to get his own game in order (particularly his 50p-head headers) at this stage in his career.

I personally don't want Skrtel to be here next season to become captain.

Lallana's a maybe, I think he's a quality player, but because he's only been here a season and injuries he's not really established himself.

So I don't see an option other than Hendo or Lucas. And Lucas is probably going.

Nothing to do with you're question, but Henderson needs the shackles removing next season. He's at his best when he plays box to box. Last season the 442 diamond suited him perfectly, giving him freedom to get up and down that right hand side, having an influence on both the attacking and the defensive side of things. This season he has been decent, but he has a lot more to offer when given more freedom.

henderson is a lot better than decent , there will never be another stevie g , i think hendo is doing a great job at being captain and at such a young age , as red rum said he needs more freedom last season he had the freedom and he shone in that role and because of that a lot of fans changed their minds about him , i think if he never got sent off and the form he was in last season we would have had a better chance of winning the prem , he was a big miss and that shows how good he really is ,give the young man a chance in his proper position before you judge his ability

I think the wording of decent here has marred the subject and point i wanted to make. Henderson hasn't had a fantastic season and nor has it been one for the team, however i totally agree with red rum, to hendersons credit he hasn't been allowed to play his own game either. Something reds great listing of the current players shows that whoever is the next club captain does not stand out as a obvious choice. In the past leaders on the pitch and stand out players got the band, i don't see it with henderson or any other player currently.

I was also torn on Henderson earlier in the season. He's not as good as Coutinho but he's one of our best players and deserves to be judged next season with Stevie gone

Hendo hasn't had the best of seasons due principally to the ineptitude and incompetence of a manager who continues playing him in diff positions and shackles him in order to suit his dreadful system. If he has not had a great season, look no further than The Nose and his tactical ineptitude
