Should Gallas have spoken out?

This is the best thread with the best comments on it from all posters that has been on this site for a while.

I prefer things kept "in house".

That said, I think Gallas has been made a scapegoat for a lot of things, and he is clearly feeling the pressure.

It is clear there are cliques in the squad, as in all squads, but at our club things have got bitchy.

Did anyone else see Van Persie leap off the bench when Spurs equalised? I was sitting in the North West Corner and could see it clearly.

He jumped up and was distraught, his body language suggested an, "I told you so" feeling.

I am all for occasional player bust ups in the dressing room.

IT SHOWS THEY CARE.

Out of such tension victory can emerge.

In 1998 we all know the famous team meeting that happened after the hoem loss to Blackburn.

Adams and Bould criticised Petit and Vieira for not doing defensive midfield duties.

From that frank discussion, emerged the best midfield partnership this club has very had.

It is time for Wenger to get all the team together, to make everyone say exactly what they think, and address the grievances constructively.

If any player carries on subsequently bitching then the player they are bitching about, if not pulling his weight, should be sold.

If the bitching is unwarranted, the the bitching player should be sold.

At the risk of sounding like Peter Sellers in "Being There", We must be prepared to prune to stimulate regrowth.

"Currently there are four 25-year-olds in the squad: Robin Van Persie, Emmanuel Eboue, Eduardo and Bacary Sagna, although it is not clear who the offending player is"

Right. It can't be Eddie or Eboue, they weren't playing.
That narrows it down to RvP and Bac. Hmmm.... ...they both started. I doubt it'll be Sagna.
Well I don't think he should be saying that. SO I'm slightly more pissed off but he should say it to ARSENE and have him give the guy a bollocking in private. Not PUBLICLY!

on this forum i have always defended gallas as he is still a good defender but needs a better partner but today i feel he has gone too far and none of this needed to come out in an interview, we have been blessed with captains in the past but but does seem an Achilles heel for wenger as he doesn't seem to have a clue when it comes to appointing a captain for the team

that bloke vieira was a useless captain

no i see where you're coming from but honestly do we really have a player that stands out?

no. 1 is Perry Groves.... · Thu Nov 20, 2008 8:44 pm

this should all be dealt with behind closed doors - in my opinion.

i have always liked the way that historically Arsenal have conducted their affairs away from the press but regardess of what happened Gallas squealing to the press does not help matters, it sounds like something sp@rs would do - its embarassing really!

This news should have never been said outside the dressing room. I wonder if Wenger has lost the dressing room

I hope the crunt is sold, let him enjoy his whining and cigs somewhere else

There's no doubt he should have kept this in house.

I don't think this guy can fall any further in my estimation than he already has. Chelsea were well shot of the twat in 2006, looks in hindsight that we got the shit end of that deal.

The Times is now reporting that Wenger had a go at Gallas at the training ground,and is preparing to trip him of his captaincy, just like the link Lethal posted.

If Gallas is stripped of the captaincy then that's the end of him... I don't think he's mentally stable, and something tells me he won't take too kindly to the humiliation!

He'll be a miserbale sod for the rest of the season, then leave in the summer.

To be honest though, what was he thinking????
- the sad thing is... he's making Wenger look a fool for choosing him in the first place!

Here's the link to The Times article....

Gooner Talk weblog claiming that Gallas was ordered to return from Paris to London by Wenger, and banned from all interviews in the French press.
