00:00we are back baby it is the keen and judy show before the break we were discussing about nelson

00:09samedo and his contract offer that as of 9 48 a.m on july the 1st is still on the table however i

00:18think it's fair to say liam that at this at this point it's looking more likely that nelson samedo

00:22will not be at this football club going forward um and that of course means that wolves need to

00:28find another club captain so i did a poll a few days ago which got four over 4 000 votes about who

00:37the fans think should be the new captain so we'll discuss a few of the candidates maybe a few of

00:41the people that you think liam um and then we'll both by the end of the show hopefully in the next

00:4511 minutes we'll have um our choice of who we think wolf's captain should be so let's start off

00:51with like i say over 4 000 votes 4 074 to be precise and the person who the peeps decided

00:57was their number one choice very very tightly run contest by the way 47 of the vote is the fans

01:06player of the year and that is mr xiao gomez liam xiao gomez is he a it would he be top of the list

01:14in becoming new club captain do you think nelson samedo did not take up that contract option

01:19yeah there's the reason he's in the conversation um and a lot of that is for his on the pitch

01:25quality he's a swashbuckling player swashbuckling love that you know i'll pull him out of nowhere

01:32he's really impressive as a footballer um the position he plays as a central midfielder is quite

01:38a good position for a captain to be and by that i mean it's an authoritative position um it's a position

01:45that the fans sort of uh you know connect with it's someone that doesn't necessarily have a lot

01:51of the outside pressure in terms of his performances in comparison to other positions like goal scorers

01:56and things like that and um and for all those reasons i think he'd be an excellent idea uh or

02:02candidate uh for for captain but there are a couple of big issues with that um one of them which is less

02:09of an issue but i'll mention it off the bat first of all him being only 24 still i don't think that's

02:15necessarily a massive problem but i think it's worth highlighting that yeah has he got enough

02:20experience he's only been in english football a couple of years um there's a couple of small

02:25concerns over his age that i think are worth mentioning the bigger concerns for him one of

02:30them being one that he can't help the other is something that would need improving is his

02:34communication his english is definitely not perfect um he needs a fair bit of work

02:39luckily there are a lot of people that speak a lot of different languages amongst the squad and their

02:44staff which makes it less of a of a concern but as a as a captain as an as an individual you probably

02:50need to be fluent you probably need to be someone who can speak english um and and convey those messages

02:55uh appropriately and then the thing he can't help is his speech impediment which is something that

03:00is public something that's well known and and jao games has spoken about uh in the past and there's a

03:06reason he doesn't do a lot of stuff on camera because it is pretty severe the the impediment um of course

03:11as you say something he cannot help whatsoever um but when it comes to conveying those messages and

03:17that communication i think that has to be something that's taken into account as well so as a captain

03:22uh on the pitch lots of good reasons off it a couple of small concerns and to be honest

03:28that will be a running theme with a few of these players we're going to talk about
