// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} John Toshack believes James Collins will go on to become Wales skipper at some point in the future.[LNB] The defender joined Aston Villa from West Ham in a £5million deal on transfer deadline day and Toshack believes the move will be good for his career.[LNB]The Wales manager is a huge admirer of the 26-year-old but sill thinks there is room for improvement in his game.[LNB]Toshack also hopes Collins' departure from Upton Park will open the way for Danny Gabbidon to get more top-flight matches.[LNB]He said: "Collins is a future Wales captain. I still feel there are some things in his game that he can improve on.[LNB]"But he has missed too many games for us. He has been out for long spells on more than one occasion.[LNB]"He also missed a lot of games for West Ham over the years. But he has gone to a big club at Aston Villa, Martin O'Neill has shown confidence in him and paid good money.[LNB]"So hopefully we will now benefit from his move. And it might well open the door for Danny Gabbidon at West Ham to play a lot more matches after his bad injury problems."[LNB]
