Arsenal must consider this when signing players - Harry Redknapp
ARSENAL need to consider the issue of captaincy when making signings in the future.
Arsene Wenger couldn't recall who was captain on Sunday after Laurent Koscielny came off
That is the honest assessment of Harry Redknapp.
Arsene Wenger caused some embarrassment during the 2-2 draw against Manchester City on Sunday.
After bringing off Laurent Koscielny at half-time, Wenger had no recollection of who was given the armband.
āArsene takes it all on himself and thatās maybe why he doesnāt see how important a strong captain is.
āHe was very lucky to have Tony when he arrived at Arsenal and Patrick Vieira was a powerful presence, but Arsenal havenāt really had a genuine leader for years.Ā
āCharacters like that are a dying breed but if Arsene stays on next season, identifying a new signing to become captain must be a top priority.ā
