In light of recent developments about a player from Premier League being arrested and until there is an official announcement, ALL users should refrain from discussing or speculating about situations around personal off-pitch matters related to any Arsenal player.

I think Henry. He really plays for the club, is loyal and inspires those around him.
Sol seems the obvious choice though and he would probably get it, although Bergy might be when he starts. Cole definitately high in the order, at least a vice captain but I think he's a little young to be a captain yet.
But again this is just speculation and there hopefully should be no reason for talk like this.
Against Newcastle at Highbury Henry showed he can be a captain, he was running around like a man possessed in that match and made sure we left with 3 points. Like Patrick said maybe giving this armband will stop him having those mood swings!
It is out of Cole, Sol and Henry. Sol for me doesn't do enough talking but Cole and Henry could do it. As he is an Arsenal lad I would lean towards Ashley Cole. Kolo also is a candidate as he has shown great leadership qualities at times, if he had played for us a little longer he would probably be my choice.
Thierry is the best talker on the pitch for Arsenal now, and is very much a man of leadership and role (as we have seen mostly last season through negative expression towards other players - i believe captaincy would flip it around into encouragement and more positive vibes from him). Making him captain would also raise his performance as he likes to have spurts of anger and passionate running to show his commitment (he would do this even more consistent when captain), but hopefully we will not have to do so. Kolo Toure is also another one for consideration in the future. I think it should be a spinal player basically.
Since Henry has been very vocal and also one of our spinal players; yes! We can consider him for the job. He has many good years ahead and has always put the fans in his mind whenever a transfer rumour surfaces.
The coach's role is to make the player understand everything that serves the interest of the game. To do this he must speak to the child within each player, to the adolescent he was and the adult he is now. Too often a coach tends only to speak to the adult, issuing commands for performance, for victory, for reflection, to the detriment of the child who is playing for pleasure, living in the present.
