Thomas Vermaelen is the new Arsenal captain.

The Belgian centre back wore the armband in pre-season and Arsène Wenger has confirmed that he will take on the job permanently after the Club agreed terms to sell Robin van Persie to Manchester United.

Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta has succeeded Vermaelen as Arsenal's vice-captain.

"It is Vermaelen and Arteta," said Wenger at his pre-match press conference on Friday.

"Vermaelen was vice-captain, so it is a quick decision. I think we have many potential captains in the squad, but at the moment it will be like that."

Captain TV5

nice one...............wenger finally admits..

A new day has come. A new king will be born!

Fripong go still become captain sef next season after dem don buy the next captain

i guess he will be the next to go - That armband na bad luck

Captain fantastic in the waiting, hope we win silverware in his time and tenure.

barca , psg , city ,real madrid and united(to replace rio ferdinand) are all ready to buy another captain next season the usual annual ritual by Assnal

I guess by the end of next season he will want to leave cos arsenal is not a club for players wit ambition..Assnal sucks.

loosers spirit ?

That's my captain and his 'twin' brother lafin at RVP (Ridiculously Valueless Player). . .nothing do us. GUNNERS TILL I QUENCH!

For me, the blow would be losing Song. But we are getting Lucas Biglia or M'villa, which isn't a bad replacement.

Super1759: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahah.when song leaves to barca my theory will be real

When Fleminin left Arsenal, it was as if there will be no other so do not worry yourself, Arsenal will remain great

Was Chelsea good enough to be champions? Nasri and Fabregas were good but not Clichy. It is better to sell RVP rather than asking him to play against his will. Do not worry, Arsenal spirit will prevail

there is a mojo to that armband!
