Gerard Piqué

[Pepe Silvia]

Messi is far from a leader. His general body language is that of a mopey, weird guy. Doesn't have the charisma or commanding presence of a leader. Love Messi to death, but that's just my observation on the matter.

To be fair, Iniesta, Busquets I feel the same about in terms of leadership qualities. They are anonymous. Pique… ummm that's different. He COULD be that guy if he played up to his potential and was always 'Puyol' fired up, but he is too inconsistent in that regard. I'd love it if he turned it up and became that guy though.

King Abi would've made a good captain.

Wish I could find PSG - Barca gamethread, would quote everyone who said Messi should be our next captain.

He was probably telling Tito or Roura not to sub him.

It was when he was subbed in and saved our asses on one leg.

I agree he isn't the ideal captain but still the best in our team after Puyol's and Xavi's retirement.

 

[Kerrybai]

I think Masch would be the person to ask about Messi's captaincy qualities.

There we have it. Trying to make the whole team lazy.

Are you not forgetting Iniesta?..I think he would be a better captain for barca than Messi..

 

[Ghost]

Are you not forgetting Iniesta?

Too shy. Too nice. Won't work.

 

[RandomGuy80]

Too shy. Too nice. Won't work.

If Iniesta is too shy, what is Messi then?..the way he walks around the pitch, chilling with his head down is also not a sign of confidence and wont motivate his teammates..actually the captain order in barca is 1.puyol 2.valdes/xavi 3.iniesta 4.messi..so i think iniesta will be automatically captain after puyol and xavi retire..

''After the game, Barcelona's 'ultras', the Boixos Nois, tried to attack Piqué by throwing a coin at him which didn't touch him''

What?! This is so stupid. He does not deserve this
