    As the title states: if our captain leaves, who would you give the armband to?

    Also, why would you give it them?

    I'd say Saylor but he's always injured. Wouldn't mind Cabaye.

    Give it to Cabaye as he is our driving force in the middle and most of te team are French speakers.

    Why are we assuming someone is going to leave when we've heard nothing from the horse's mouth?

    Saylor would be a good call because he'd put his life on the line for the team.

    I'm sorry, I guess the "if" in the title was lost on you

    Rumour has it he's been shagging about, got some tramp pregnant and needs to go home cos his Mrs has gone back to Argentina.

    Maybe it was one of you lot, don't you all go round telling him he can shag your wife?

    Anyhow, best to get rid, you don't want another Tevez situation you don't have the cash to deal with that like City do. He won't be easy to replace but he's hardly been in decent form since Pardspew likened him to Sir Bobby Moore!

    If that's the case can you please do a poll for each player in the team and who their replacement will be "if" they leave?


    Anyways.....Lee Ryder ‏@lee_ryder
    Hearing Fabricio Coloccini included in the squad for the trip to #ncfc #nufc despite uncertainty about his future.

    Cabaye seems the overwhelming favourite at the moment with 14 votes. Saylor second with 5. One a piece for Jonas and Cheick.

    I don't think we have one. I'd be against it Cabaye I have to say, he's missed plenty of football and I'd like to se him perform consistently before handing him the armband. Of the current squad though he'd be the most likely. You could use it as a lure for whoever you look to bring in to replace him? Difficult one. previously I'd have thought Taylor or Jonas but one is never fit and one should not even be a likely starter.

    I do think centre halfs make the best captains and also play the ideal position for it as they see the whole game set up etc.

    Hatem Ben Arfa. Ben Arfa is the type of character who needs to be loved and needs a pat on the back. I think it would be a major confidence booster making him the captain and I think it would take his game to the next level.

    Cabaye for me... Saylor is injured too much. Krul could be an option, but I prefer outfield players to be captain. I don't think HBA would be a good option, needs to be someone level-headed and not prone to hissy-fits!

    Whoever is the most natural born leader of man should get the armband.

    Often nowadays it's given to the player who the club are most fearful of losing as a desperate attempt to keep hold of him.
