For me the armband should go to a player that satisfies the following criteria:
1. Guaranteed starter
2. Someone unlikely to do something on the pitch which questions their ability to be a captain
3. Someone unlikely to do something off the pitch which questions their ability to be a captain.
Basically someone who makes the captaincy a non-issue.
For me there's only one candidate........

He does play best if you play him in a dynamic 3 man midfield or free role.

Exactly.
If you play him in a 2 man midfield, is he a better player than Wilshere, Carrick or Parker would be in the same position? The simple answer is no. He hasnt been played regularly in a two man midfield for years.

Lads completely forgot about Welbeck and Sturridge. Sturridge for me definitely has to take the RWF position. In Rooney's absence Welbeck would definitely start for me, I think he is actually suited to the lone striker role more than Rooney is, in the Euros he looked like he had a very good understanding with Sturridge aswell so maybe that is a partnership that should be considered if we go 4-4-2.
As for the other wing spot...AOC anybody?

The Ox is lookin lively. If he plays the bulk of the rest of the season, I could see him on the plane

Don't like keepers as captains

A national team with a keeper as captain will never win a European Championship or World Cup.
