Speaking to PA Sport he's said that if Keegan wants him to take over as captain he'll do it, but that it's ok if Keegan chooses someone else too. Basically, he's available for whatever.

Would we recognise a Tony Adams that didn't fancy a shot at lifting the World Cup?

He also talks about how much he learned from Terry Butcher, an old geezer at the back when Adams was starting his England career, and how he hopes he can do the same for the likes of Sol Campbell and Rio Ferdinand.
