There has been talk and there has been argument over the choice of the Arsenal skipper for the coming season.Though Gallas has in no right been selected by Wenger, it is highly unlikely that the Gaffer will go for a Different selection than last year…atleast for the time being…

I for one would vehemently support the Profs cause if he does select Gallas as captain of the Arsenal football club.

For starters,a team needs leaders in every part of the field if they want to win something….like arsenal had in the times of tony adams,vieraand henry….maybe the leaders are not captain material but you need them to inspire the players around them..have you Forgotten the Bergkamp effect on Arsenal..and pardon me even manu won the double last year on this very fact—van der sar in goal(holland captain),ferdinand in defence(england captain-maybe),scholes & giggs in the center and ronaldo forward…you have a long list of potential captains there….got my point!!

Considering Arsenal at this point of time, Gallas is one of the three to four players in the squad who have tasted premier league glory and will have enough grit, firepower, wounds to lick from last season and a relentless urge to score(which helped us a lot last season)…a tiger on the prowl..what say??

As for the present arsenal squad—Almunia in the post is no mean machine, lets see how he does to encourage the defence.Gallas is strong enough in a defence consisting of Toure,Clichy and Sagna-all possible captains.Moving on to the central midfield,Fabregas is the only noted motivator…and maybe the czech leader rosicky-if he says fit…Finally up front we dont have many options—maybe persie–again the question of fitness??

Notably–monsieur Wenger has not signed a Defender and looks highly unlikely to do so….and If he does so whom does the new defender replace…Gallas…which is highly unlikely!!!

So now do you see the need of experience and Gallas in the squad…..

To Victory:-)
