Now that Gallas has been stripped of the armband who should be the Arsenal captain? It is reported that Alumnia would be stand in captain for the game against Manchester City this afternoon. But permanently? Let’s look at the choices..

Almunia

Arsenal’s most senior player, quite a fair amount of leadership qualities, respectable, well liked. However, it might be hard to lead the team from all the way at the goalpost.

Toure

Arsenal’s longest serving player, vice-captain, also very respected and well-liked. However, his form has taken a dip lately, and he is plagued with injuries.

Silvestre

joined from a rival club, he is quite new at Arsenal, but he is one of the older players with experience. because he is quite new, he might not be familiar with the players at Arsenal.

Clichy

Arsenal’s consistent player, playing week in and out, the left back role is permanently his after Ashley Cole left. he is dedicated and loyal, but he is only 23 and lacks the experience and maybe leadership qualities.

Fabregas

Arsenal’s most vaulable player last season, his teammates love him, the fans adore him-only second to walcott because walcott’s english- he is the midfield mastro. however, he is only at a tender age at 21, and giving him the armband may not stop him from leaving the club in the summer.

so who do you think will be the next Arsenal captain? would Wenger break the tradition of choosing a French after 3 consecutive Frenchies? I would be delighted if clichy or fab got it, but they are still young.
