I gave up trying to listen awhile ago unfortunately not mate. the substance was short lived. On Braithwaite: He has been very good in training. He has not told me he wants to leave boro so I will take that as he wants to stay and goes on to reaffirm he been best player in training. Asked if loan market a more likely option than Permanent: We will see. Both options will be explored. On Captain: He confirms George Friend will be Captain. That is both club captain and team captain. Calls him a fantastic leader and a great example to the young kids. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Of course George is captain. I can't imagine why we'd change that. Link to post Share on other sites

Neither was Leadbitter, he was still captain until he left. That's different though, Leadbitter was made captain during a time when he was one of the first names on the teamsheet, and deservedly so. Friend as club captain is fine, but shouldn't be a guaranteed starter. Link to post Share on other sites

There are plenty of examples of players that are team captain but are not guaranteed starters. Valencia was team captain at Utd but was not a regular. Jagielka at Everton last season. Morgan at Leicester is another. Friend being team captain does not mean anything in terms of him being a guaranteed starter imo. Link to post Share on other sites

But each of them were appointed to the role when they started every week. So even though they've dropped out of the team, like Leadbitter, they are never actually stripped of the captaincy. For me, when you actually appoint a captain, you choose someone who will start when fit. Link to post Share on other sites

Friend was appointed captain on Leadbitters sale, I thought, which means he was picked when he was something that was chosen when fit. Link to post Share on other sites

It would seem like a pretty important thing for me to find out if I was the manager. Link to post Share on other sites
