Say Mansell leaves, who would you give the armband to? I'd say Pearce. Other thoughts?

not sure yet, I'd say that too because it'd provide a further incentive for him to stay, added to the fact he's a hard worker.

A lot of water to go under the bridge before this has to be decided.

It entirely depends who comes in and who leaves. Pearce would be my choice of the current squad but if he gets a good offer from elsewhere, he will be off. Hopefully we can keep him though.

The question we should perhaps be asking is who we can now attract to the club with the promise of the captains armband?

We desperately need a leader on the pitch, someone who can encourage, rather the criticise the younger talents undoubtable at the club such as Cameron and Young. Someone who can lead by example.

This will be an absolutely critical decision for Chris Hargreaves, my guess is he will bring someone new in

I doubt it will be Pearce, he has had a tough time with personal issues and i think is looking to return back to the Midlands.

I don't think it should be anybody - in honour of the best captain we've ever had, we should rest the armband for a season....

Should retire the number 7 shirt

Shaun Cooper used to be captain at Bournemouth. If Davey can get him in excellent physical order he could be a ball winning midfielder with a decent touch and an excellent replacement for Mansell.

what was the injury last season?

I think he did an ankle in training. Jesus suggests that he's a bit of a sicknote.

Matt.

Take your pick really. I think it was ankle followed by hamstring on return.

Krystian Pearce (C)

right.. Has he played midfield either? I thought we signed him as a centre-back? Shows how much ive heard of this bloke really!

If Suarez's mate had kept himself to himself he would have been a ready made captain....
