Since Wayne Rooney was dropped from the England squad in March this year, Gareth Southgate has issued the Three Lions armband to five different players already, seemingly undecided on who should be  skipper at the World Cup in Russia next summer.

Eric Dier was issued the most recent audition against Germany and Brazil and certainly didn't let himself down. But Football FanCast are taking a look at the arguments for and against giving the captaincy to a considerably more seasoned England man - West Ham loanee Joe Hart.

Pros - Vast experience, vocal character and will be a constant if picked

With 75 caps to his name, Hart is the most experienced member of Southgate's latest squad by quite some distance. In fact, the only more-capped player to be called up since Southgate took charge from Sam Allardyce is indeed Rooney.

Domestically and in terms of age too, the 30-year-old offers far more experience than most; he's won two Premier League titles, reached the latter stages of the Champions League and even spent a year of his career in a foreign top flight with Torino - how many England players can say that?

He's also a very confident character who won't be afraid to make his voice heard if others aren't pulling their weight, and should Hart retain the No.1 jersey for the World Cup, he'll be one of the few constants in Southgate's starting XI. That's still a big if though, which brings us onto...

Cons - Uncertain role and questionable composure

With Jordan Pickford and Jack Butland seemingly gaining ground with every appearance they make, be that at club or international level, there's no guarantee Hart will still be Southgate's first-choice by the time the World Cup comes around. We already know Butland was pencilled in to start against Germany but suffered a broken finger - Hart taking his starting berth instead.

David Moyes instilling more defensive discipline and organisation at West Ham should help Hart's Premier League form but with a big emphasis on building for the future, Southgate may opt for younger alternatives next summer.

Furthermore, even if Hart does start in Russia, there's still question marks over his temperament and composure. All goalkeepers are guilty of errors but Hart's always appear to be sourced from a rush of blood to the head, and the energetic cockiness he showed in the tunnel before that monumental error against Iceland at Euro 2016 still lives long in the memory.

Hart may be a very loud voice, but that doesn't necessarily mean he says the right things and after that horrific exit in summer 2016, focus will be a key word for Southgate at the World Cup.

So, should Hart be England's World Cup captain? Let us know by voting below...
