Is he seen as a replacement for Braithwaite? There has been noise he would rather be in france if the oppertunity comes. Boro could be trying to fill a gap before letting him go.

Cracking points. And fully agree, I was just raising the question because with Gibbo gone and Grant on the fringes it would be interesting to see who would take the armband if Friend wasnt available. Howsen has done it before and Clayton seems to be ever present this season so far. Looking beyound those i struggle to see who has the chesnuts to wear it. Downing doesnt strike me as someone who is interested in the role and likes to just get on with his game.

Hope the lad has a quick recovery

Slightly off topic from other threads, but just curious to what people think of the captaincy since Gibbo left. Gibbo was a young leader with respect of the rest of the team, Grant is still around the 1st team and never publicly had the armband taken from him, and the last couple of games has seen GF wearing. Just want to throw another couple of names into the hat for the 'C' Clayton Howsen what you think?
