Ashley Williams ny kapten i Swansea
Efter 10 år i klubben och sju som kapten, släpper nu Garry Monk kaptensbindeln till mittbackskollegan Ashley Williams. Givetvis leder denna handling till att man kan tro att Williams, som bland annat ryktats vara på väg till Arsenal, stannar i klubben. Beslutet känns helt logiskt. Monk själv säger:
"It’s a personal decision from myself. The way I look at being a captain, you should consistently be on the pitch. Ash has been consistent on the pitch over a number of years. I’ve said a few times I’ve not played as much as I would have liked, but I’ve still contributed in a number of games. But, overall, I feel the team captain should be someone who is on there as a figure of continuity. Ash is that. He has worn the armband when I’ve not played, so I felt it was the right thing to do to let him lead the team out even when I was playing." (Källa: citat)
