Lee Dixon says William Gallas has to react positively to being disciplined by Arsene Wenger if he is to continue as an Arsenal player.

As manager you want to see a positive reaction and if you don't get one then I can't see him staying.

Whether he plays for Arsenal again is down to Gallas and no-one else. How does he react?"

Totally agree, if Gallas is going to sulk and act like a little girl then we don't need him but if he comes back and shows a positive attitude even without the captain's armband then that is exactly what we need and we can move on from this ugly episode.

Dixon also revealed the reason Wenger stuck with Gallas. He said:

I asked Wenger earlier in the season about Gallas being captain because I had been critical of him in the past about how he goes about the role.

He said at the start of the season when the issue cropped up that Gallas was his best choice because he didn't have anybody naturally pushing him for the spot.

He also felt that taking it off him at that stage would not be good for him as a player.
