I took in Dani Parejo to have a word with him.
JC: "Danny, how are things?"
DP: "Good thanks boss! We're doing well."
JC: "I know we are, and no one better so than you. You've been a real leader out there this season."
DP: "Thanks! I feel like my form is sky high at the moment and I want to keep it going anyway, what's up then?"
JC: "I'm thinking about making you vice captain, with a look in the long term future to be captain, this is between us. I believe a captain should be from the country they are playing in. You are the man I am looking to lead this club to glory, do you think you can handle that sort of pressure?"
DP: "It would be an honour, but what about Nicolas? (Otamendi) He's been doing a brilliant job?
JC: "Vice captain for now I said, steady on son!" I laughed
DP: "Like I said it would be an honour."
Parejo has been in some fine form this season and is easily our best player so far. I want him to be a starter in this club for as long as I'm there. I'm slowly warming up to the idea of staying here for a few seasons!
