I'm no fan of J.T, hardly the morale authority and happily screwed around on his wife with is it two team mates.
But Gerrard, biggest diver in the league, more than willing to utterly cheat in an embarassing way, he's a mouthy git, puts in some truly awful tackles now and then(JT does to but its rare for an attacking midfielder), helps beat the crap out of a defenseless guy with a group of his mates and has always sucked for England despite pretty much having the team built around him. Lampard is the best english attacking midfielder we've had, almost ever, in terms of league performance, consistancy, goals and assists. Yet he, the more disciplined and better defensively, always plays the deeper role for England while Gerrard gets to play in his best role. Lampard in far from his best position may never shine, but is very rarely poor and normally pretty good.
Lampard is like by everyone, a seemingly decent bloke who I'm sure has dived but I can't remember any specifically and if he does, its very rare. He's not overly mouthy, he's fairly calm, he's consistant and he's a certain starter, is Gerrard, really?
I'd pick Lampard as Captain, Jt or keeper as vice.
AS for Bent, he's had several previous very high scoring seasons, he was IIRC the highest scoring Englishman while at Charlton, has done it again(well almost) at another fairly low club and didn't do terribly at Spurs considering he was never first team and both managers basically kept telling him he was crap and would only play him with no other choice, and he still scored a bunch.
Johnson IIRC scored a LOAD of penalties and has since been absolutely plagued by injuries, Bents been the same quality/level for 6 year or so.
