It would seem a bit odd if Warburton was telling people a player he hasn't signed yet is going to be the new captain, especially when he hasn't even met the club's existing players.
Could be true that we're trying to sign the player though. I'm not totally opposed to the idea despite his age if he's still a capable player (can't say I know much about him) but it seems likely if he was going to come in to the team he'd push out Murdoch, which doesn't appeal to me. I think dropping him from the first team would be detrimental to a young player who's come on leaps and bounds, and of the youth players who've been involved with our first team I'd say he's the one who looks most capable of holding down a spot. Others have shown flashes but he's been consistently strong.
