Maybe captaincy is what Pato misses to explode again. just sayin'...

If it wasn't about seniority and having been at the club long enough, I'd give it to Montolivo.

OR, we could just play by the rules and give it to the most senior player in each game's XI.

What are you laughing at? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

The Pato comment it made me laugh you were not serious of course....also i would of thought just playing for Milan would give him the boost he needs to get back to playing like he used to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I really mean it. while he's no Balotelli, his attitude is admittedly not the best. sometimes when you give these kind of players the armband they suddenly change for good. I think he needs to feel like he's a key player for this team again and what better way to make him feel that than to give him the armband?

On the contrary, what massage do we send him by not giving him the armband even when he should get it on the seniority rule? think about it...

Be more mature? My thoughts on the subject is that the seniority rule is stupid. Do you want me to write you a dissertation of why I think it's stupid? Because I can!

Captaincy should be given to the best candidate, someone who has character, leadership skills, the respect of his teammates, the list can go on and on. Do you think the likes of Antonini and Bonera have any of those qualities? Just because Bonera has been here the longest does not make him right for the role, which is why the seniority rule is ridiculous as it disregards all of those aspects I listed above.

I'm more old fashioned, I think captain should be the player who's been with the team the longest time, and preferably a defender and Italian. That said, none other then Abate or De Sciglio cross my mind. I still think MDS has much to learn, but he can improve with more consistency and playing time. Abate is the prime example.

Unless someone of the old guard doesn't return: like Seedorf for example, or more likely - Kaka.

Abbiati, Yepes, Ambrosini will most likely leave next summer, and Bonera and Antonini are not considered starters. Personally, I'd give it to Montolivo. He best represents the personification of the leader in our team, and he's been captain of Fiorentina in the past.

Yep, either Montolivo or Abate. I would only suggest Pato if he gets everything together and feel a permanent part of the team again. At the moment who knows whether he will stay or not beyond January.

This is what i wanted to hear thanks...just saying its stupid was not much of an argument. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

If he can stay injury free and get his form back then i don't see why not agreed.

Official: Ambrosini leaves Milan

Goodbye Blonde Angel, thanks for everything!

Goodbye Ambro :')

A million times better captain than Gattuso. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) Thanks for your time here, Ambrosini! Good thing we held onto him until we had another classy one in Montolivo. We may have thrown away our tradition, but at least the armband has been (and is) safe for the foreseeable future.

Best of luck with the rest of your adventure, champ!

My head is OK with it, but my heart aches. it's always hard to lose those who have been with us for many years. it's only when you see the official notification that you suddenly think to yourself "****, there'll be no Ambro anymore" and it sucks.

Ciao Ambro.
