Wenger: Gallas Still My Skipper
-
The Frenchman was roundly criticised after suffering a break-down of sorts in the tumultous 2-2 draw at Birmingham last term and his leadership style subsequently questioned by fans and neutrals alike, but Wenger insists that he is standing by his man.
"If he plays, he will be captain," said Wenger during Friday afternoon’s press conference ahead of the Emirates Cup.
"If he does not play, it will be somebody else. But William will be the club captain, yes."
Gallas, 30, succeeded Thierry Henry as Arsenal captain, in what was a surprising and not exactly overwhelmingly popular decision among the fans.
Gallas, himself, has admitted that he has made some mistakes along the way, but insists that he has learned from them and generally has been making all the right noises during pre-season about becoming a better leader going forward.hope he really learnt his lesson and improve. chances dont come so often
