Arsenal reportedly seem to have identified two main candidates in their squad who could replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as club captain.
The Gunners announced yesterday that Aubameyang would no longer be wearing the captain’s armband, though the new long-term skipper has not yet been announced.
According to the Telegraph, two of the main names who seem to be in contention are Kieran Tierney and Martin Odegaard, though we’re not sure if this will inspire much confidence in Arsenal fans.
Tierney perhaps seems the best option, though he’s far from ideal due to not having the best record in terms of injuries.
Odegaard, meanwhile, is young and hasn’t even been at the club for that long, though he seems to be a trusted member of the squad.
The Norway international is also captain of his national side, so won’t be a stranger to that kind of responsibility.
In truth, it’s hard to even view the Arsenal captaincy with that much importance these days after so many issues with the armband in recent years.
Like Aubameyang, Granit Xhaka was also stripped of the captaincy, as was William Gallas back in 2008.
We’ve also seen previous Arsenal captains like Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie force moves away not long after being entrusted to skipper the side.
Better KT
Return the armband 2 its original, committed & worthy owner (Xhaka)
Or do well 2 pass it 2 Gabriel or Ben white, not some young boys who can never be another Cesc Fabregas
From what i read on Precious articles; Auba was by his mom’s side at hospital and club aware.
Learning this on a previous article here should have us all land support to Auba and wish his mom to good recouvert & to be well…
Therefore, to be here discussing on who should replace Auba is at least too soon beside being wrong.
Auba wont be featured today, Laca is second Captain, let it be.
We certainly do not need this drama now.
A draw or lost at Westham be same, end Europa League in EL
Obviously Blues, City & Reds are fighting for title, will finish in top 3; are in their own EPL
Spurs & United are fighting for 4th spot, Westham close by.
Therefore we are fighting for 6,7 spot with Westham, Leicester to joint, most likely Villa & Wolves will stay close by. 5 teams for 2 spots.
Not sure where we in cups but certainly options to Hope on.
Return to Dhaka or give it to white or Gabriel,Tierney is not a leader Odegaard is a leader but lacks boldness and stamina unlike Dhaka and gab they are strong and firm
Givevtge captaincy to Ramsdale. He has shown great love, support and commitment to our club. Besides he’s a good player and not ready to drop form anytime soon
