Henry as captain

[theman]

What are your views on Thierry as skipper?
He'll be a great inspiration to the players, but it could affect the way he plays.

I think it was a good choice. There are really only so many possibilities on the current squad. Sol wouldn't be bad, but if Wenger isn't going to pick him for every match...? Same with Bergy. I think Cole could be a good captain, but in time, not right after what happened this summer. That leaves Henry, Pires, Ljundberg, or Gilberto. Henry is a solid choice, and I think he'll do alright.

I do see what you mean, who else was there?
I also think it was a ploy to try and get him to stay.

well there really isnt anyone else, and well pires isnt as influenical, the dude, likes to just kick back and play the game

Henry should be Captain other than him the only influencial person is Lehmann.

[WELSH AND PROUD]

I dont think Henry will inspire Arsenal and because of that they will not be title contenders this season

i never support a striker to be captain, its always better to have a midfielder or a defender because their positions on the field help to communicate better with all the players than a striker who is always upfront.

Nice to see a knew poster around here :thumbsup:
I agree, it's always better to have a centre back or midfielder.
Anyone think Ash shoulda been made skipper?
P.S try and introduce other gooners to this forum ;)
