Where to play Gallas?

Arsenal.com : Wenger ponders where Gallas could play on Arsenal debut

Looks like Gallas could be making his Arsenal debut at centre-back tomorrow. I think that's the best position for him but over the course of the season it's probably not his best position from the team's point of view. Until Gael Clichy is back we really don't have a real left-back in the squad. Wenger has open admitted, what we all knew, that Justin Hoyte is a right-back playing on the left. Flamini did a good job at left-back last season but he's no left-back. I cannot see Toure moving to left-back, although some media hacks seem to think it'll happen. The last time and only time he played left-back he was sent off within 20 minutes! Not an option.

Lauren we he returns could play left-back. He's a right-back but he's more 2 footed that Hoyte. I can't see anyone dislodging Eboue right now but pressure on his place will be good for him.

So where does that leave Gallas? I think he'll fight for a centre-back role alongside Toure. Senderos will be highly motivated to compete for that job too. When Eboue, Toure, Senderos and Gallas are all fit then I think all 4 will line-up in that order.

It's an interesting problem and one that won't go away until a genuine left-back emerges.
