&lt;p&gt;he should have put Gilberto as captain for this and next
season.. and then when Gilberto retires, put the armband on
Fabregas since Cesc is already running the whole of the Arsenal
midfield..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;by then, Cesc would be older and wiser.. and would be ready for
the responsibility... also, then, Cesc would be considered a
"veteran" of many seasons...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i think Wenger dropped the ball this time...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gallas is not the best captain, and by not putting it on
Gilberto, demoralised the hell out of a pretty good leader&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doubt Gilberto will stay, maybe put Toure as captain and hand it
to Fabregas when he's older provided he does not leave&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Ars&#232;ne Wenger has yet to decide if &lt;a href=
"http://www.arsenal.com/player.asp?thisNav=news&amp;amp;amp;plid=66633&amp;amp;amp;clid=4421&amp;amp;amp;cpid=703"
rel="nofollow"&gt;William Gallas&lt;/a&gt; will stay on as Arsenal captain
next season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The French central defender took the arm-band at the start of
the current campaign after Thierry Henry moved to Barcelona.
However Arsenal's failure to win a trophy has brought everyone at
the Club under the microscope, manager and captain alike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At his press conference on Friday, Wenger was asked directly if
Gallas would be leading the team out next season. He refused to
commit either way but praised the 30-year-old for his efforts and
said a decision would be made after reflection in the summer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I cannot answer that question at the moment," said the
58-year-old. "I want to analyse the season after it has finished.
At the moment he will be my captain until the end of the
season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I believe he has learned a lot this year and I can only say
that his commitment and desire to do well was exceptional. For the
rest, I wouldn't like to go into any individual assessment at the
moment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I made that decision and I have to stand up for that decision,
I have to protect the team and the individuals as well at the
moment. They get criticised and maybe we deserve critics at the
moment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"But, overall, the team has made good progress this year and the
most important thing is we finish well now."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Screw Captain William. I want Flamini to be captain if he
signs a new contract or our wonderkid Cesc!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
