Why does Wenger so often miss out on exactly the type of player we need: a commanding leader who would be a natural captain. And one who would not cost a fortune. At 31 he would be ideal for the next 3 years.

Fonte over Williams definitelyQuote:

Yes - I was harsh on Williams but if you were honest and judged him by the standards you judge our players, I doubt you could make a serious argument for him really being betterQuote:
