It's a very fair question. Obvious leaders at other clubs aren't necessarily good enough to get into our team, although there ought to be allowances for other things that they bring to the table. Also, "leaders" don't have to run around piling into tackles, leadership can be experience in tight situations, anything which pulls people together.
Looking at the Premiership and leaving out the Mancs as they wouldn't see to us/we wouldn't want them anyway. Obviously also leaving out the likes of Vincent Kompany for obvious reasons, I would say these players are "leaders". Whether we would want any of them is another question:
Robert Huth, Mikkel Arteta, The bloke with the ponytail who plays at the back for Man City, can't remember his name, Scott Dann, Johann Cabaye, Troy Deaney, Mark Noble, James Collins, Bouyate, Ross Barclay, John Stones, Gary Naismith, Lukaku, Barry, Geoff Cameron, Ryan Shawcross, the Stoke midfielder whose name escapes me, Irish bloke, Steven Davis, Fonte, Gareth McCauley, Darren Fletcher, Olssen, Ramirez, Obi Mikkel, Collocine, Ashley Williams.
All tjese blokes are leaders, I'M NOT NECESSARILY SAYING WE SHOULD SIGN THEM.
