The question you have to ask is - would the captaincy mean anything to anyone else? Are they going to do anything different? Are they going to be committed to the club? Or are they just going to use it as an advertising point on their CV when the bigger clubs come knocking. I don't see any reason why Sagna or Vermaelen would be any more committed to Arsenal than Van Persie is.

It would mean something to Wilshere. He'd become more confident in his ability and he'd take more responsibility on the pitch. He's a kid but so was Tony Adams. There is the very minor issue of Jack being dead for the foreseeable future but, as I said, if there is any chance he gets the green light by September, give him the armband.
