and melchiot is skippering wigan.

strange for new players to go in and become captain straight away, but geremi is massively experienced at every level.

Very odd decision IMO, but good luck to him!

and Gallas is captain at Arsenal

Agreed.

How much captains do we producing..... just amazing

Good luck to him. He seems to be a good, honest professional and I reckon he is a great choice. Just because he is a new player shouldn't make much difference. They have a new manager so he probably wants to change things a bit. If I remember rightly Scott Parker was made captain there soon after his arrival and he has since moved on so they must have been short on leaders.

A much better choice than Viduka too. He would have led them down to the chip shop ;)

Geremi was such a professional at Chelsea.

Never first choice, never complained, always gave 100% when given a start or came on as a sub and rarely had a bad game in any of the multitude of positions he played in.

Good luck to him.
