Captains Arm Band

With Arteta a full time resident of the Sick room, and Per looking like he just has enough legs to last the season i'm looking around the squad to see who is the stand out guy who is worthy of the Captains arm band for me there`s only one choice lead from the back line Petr Cech. I know there`s others to consider Kos, Ramsey and after the fire shown yesterday Mr Walcott surprised me.
But who would you pick?

Cech or Kos for me.

Coquelin is still kinda the 'new guy' but in the future I wouldn't be surprised if he wore the armband. He has a good footballing brain as well as heart, he is vocal as well as composed on the pitch and leads by example.

We were all expecting jack to he our man, but not sure if he will ever have a full season playing time due to his injury crises. And as for kos he need ro be a lot more vocal and shouting orders at everyone in front of him. As for ramsey he need to focus on moving the ball a lot quicker first. So that will leave me with Cech or how about El neny
Lol was just kidding about the last one ;)

G62, I should have left the me kidding bit for later just to see all funny replies.
But hey with wenger and the arm band anything can happen.
I just think he can't decide on a captain yet. We definitely need a leader not just someone who can lead by example because that is alexis job.

Hi all long time reader fist time posting.

Would agree with Cech down to performance, but my only problem with him is he doesn't give the defence enough stick when they mess up. At times during a game as you all know the defence make some awful mistakes and he doesn't say a word. I'm remember watching a doc on the invincibles and every player said a lot of the winning mentality was down to leahman that if they messed up he would grill them and they didn't want to face him. Cech seems too nice a guy.

Even though all the top teams in recent times have had iconic captains, us adams, wenger doesn't hold much credence to the captain of a team being an icon or leader. Hence why theo was captain.

Moe I wonder how many people we're all set to press the agree button to until you admitted you was joking? I'm sure there were some :-)
Tony Adams was the last captain we had who led by both example and was also verbally dominant position on the pitch, Le Coq and Sanchez both show passion and desire for 90 minutes in every game and they play but Sanchez doesn't speak the language and isn't that type while Le Coq lacks the experience to control his fantastic passion to win just yet.
Cech is probably as good as we have right now.
