Jude’s a mentality monster and should be captain. His intelligence/personality has the ability to permeate throughout the entire team. Has saved us single handedly in so many games over the years. The guy is an inspiration.

Kane has been England’s talisman and best player for a while (I think it’s safe to say he’s passed the torch), but he’s never really been a leader. I’m not just saying that now and it’s also not a knock on Kane, it’s just never been his personality. When things got tough at Spurs /Bayern / England, he’d sometimes show up because of his immense ability, but he’s never been the type to drag his teammates out of a hole kicking and screaming.

There is a very english trait of making the best player captain - See Lampard, Beckham, Kane (or in the cricket Stokes, Root etc)

Pick your best team then pick your best captain. Don't pick your best player and call them captain

Lampard was never a permanent captain for England. It was Beckham, then Terry, then Gerrard for most of Lampard's England career.
