    Mertesacker is the best choice right now but if we're looking for a long term option then Chesney could be the guy.

    No argument about this one really .
    It should have been and it will be Per Mertesacker . Everyone knows it and more importantly Arsene knows it .
    DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .

    Mertesacker has unofficially been doing the job for a while now (on and off the pitch), and it's worked well. Ramsey has been amazing all year just being Aaron Ramsey, with no added responsibility, and that's worked out pretty well for us too. Why start changing things around when we don't have to? Just give Per the armband and make it official, and let Ramsey carry on doing what he's doing...

    Vieira? We've not had a good once since then though.

    Daily Mail claims that Wenger has decided on Arteta.


    Pros

    - Vastly experienced and well respected in the dressing room
    - Rumours that Wenger wants to offer him a coaching role after he retires at the club so this would be good preparation/
    - Already a vice captain

    Cons

    - Not guaranteed his spot in the team yet.
    - May mean he's off to Barca or Man Utd next season (Pro for some people)

    Con
    - he will only be in the right place to shout at players once every 45mins. (even if on the pitch)

    If he suffers similar fate to all our recent captains, then I'm all for it.

    I absolutely hate Arteta, me.

    He should stab himself.

    He's literally worse than Hitler.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
