I think Henderson will stay as captain with Milner and VVD as vice-captains. Obviously as the squad gets bigger there is more chance that individual players won't play every week, but I imagine we will stick to those three guys most games.
The role of captain is split into on the field and off the field roles, putting aside the off the field stuff for now. The choice of captain as well as being a leader is also largely about 'referee management' - players need to understand the league and know / be known to the referee. Personally I don't think that it is wise to have a captain who doesn't meet these criteria, players who are new to the league don't have that so are rarely made captains but someone who has moved from another English club might (e.g. John Terry as was mentioned above).
