What is he thinking? Time for someone else to wear the armband.
He has never replaced Adams, Viera etc. The Arsenal that won all the trophes was buld around the defence Wenger inhereted from Graham- seaman, adams,winterburn,dixon,knwon and Bold.

The inevitable damage has been done for this season. Plus, I don't think he'll be able to deal with having the arm band stripped now, so Wenger may have him threatening to score own goals again.

I think that Gallas is a punk / twat.. whatever. So I'm not going to argue that he should be captain. ..though I really don't care who Arsenal's captain is.
However, perhaps he is right. Perhaps Arsenal's players are lacking the desire. People talk about them lacking that core...surely that is true...but cores can be built on desire if there is enough of it.

Originally posted by FleabittenAlthough HENRY did get the ball in the next... was he a good captain? I would say NO.
Maybe not a great leader, but not altogether useless. He at least did his job, which was to put the ball in the net.
Gallas is out against Man City. Once Cesc is available, should he get the armband?
Wenger made him captain to keep him at the club, as they needed a BIG name when they moved to their new studium as the season ticket sells would have really hurt them.
Not sure why Wenger choses Frence players as captain, whats wrong with Kalo Toura? (he was captain befroe Gallis come to the club after Vira left.)

Toure would be second choice, although not playing to his high standards this season.
The damage has been done for this season, so I'd defo go with Fabregas and give him experience for next season.

Originally posted by MrHandHe could be 100% right, but it makes absolutely no difference. To deflect attention away from one's self and blame your team mates, sharing dressing room secrets with the media is unforgivable of any player, never mind the captain.
