Probably why he was going to stay and Dawson was going to go.... Just a thought.
I imagine that it had far more to do with the fact that Kaboul is our best CB, Vertonghen had just been signed, Caulker is up and coming and potentially world class, so one of Dawson or Gallas was suddenly expendable and Dawson would fetch near £10m while Gallas wouldn't fetch a penny due to his age.
There's a difference between throwing yourself into last ditch challenges cos you've been caught out of position... and leadership!
I know some people can't grasp that concept though, so....
Gallas leadership really came in handy against Arsenal and Chelsea....
