Wenger has used the captaincy for anything and everything but leadership. Bribing players to stay was the main usage. I remember all the way back when he pissed in Gilberto's face in return for the service, loyalty and leadership that particular player gave us. Wenger has never treated the captaincy with the respect it deserves. As soon as Adams was out the captaincy effectively went in the bin.
