I think the hole idea of shipping in an instant captain is completely the wrong way to do it.

The Captain can't just be someone doing a job. It has to be someone whose heart is for the club, and who will lead by example each and every time they cross the white line.

For me, either Henry or Chery fit the bill from our current lot. if it's going to be a new player, I can't see anyone on the list above that in any way inspires me...

Neither are leaders which is what we need, Henry can be anonymous at times (he ain't no Shaun Derry) and Chery needs to just focus on being an attacking force, what on Earth makes you think he would be captain material?

Both play well (I disagree that Henry goes walkabout, he's been one of our more consistent players this season) and both clearly want to play for the club. I'd take either of those over an instant-fix newbie any day of the week.
 
All I can find is this old report...not even the same Henry..
The Sun are linking Aston Villa with a raid on neighbours Walsall.
The player in question is the talented young left-back Rico Henry, a player who has been attracting the attention of a number of scouts.

Gil and Henry are not even the same sort of player are they?

Gil is AM, Henry DM... still looking!
 
here it is... no idea about the source - admittedly in hindsight it looks dubious :emoticon-0138-think
