New captain won’t shout at team or take responsibility
Most Arsenal fans believe 21-year-old Cesc Fabregas is the best candidate to wear Whingey William’s tear-covered crown (see our poll here), but the Spaniard made some troubling comments in today’s Sun:
“I’m not the type who shouts at everyone and I won’t change that. It’s up to all of us to take responsibility for getting things right again.”
Cesc is hinting that he will take the Steven Gerrard-esque captaincy style of “quietly leading by example”, but surely the current Arsenal team needs a Tony Adams or a Patrick Vieira - someone who will shout and rile players up? Does a team low on confidence need a leader who shuns responsibility before he has even worn the armband?

You guys are just vultures. You won’t even let the man settle in.
Anything to criticize.

Regardless, I still think Cesc isn’t right for Arsenal at this point in time. He either needs to grow as a footballer or change his style in a sense. I’m really not in favour of him as captain. And to be honest, he has no merit for the job apart from the fact that he’s our “talisman”.

I fully agree, in fact I’ve actually been so upset about the decision since yesterday and concerned for Cesc to be honest.
But obviously, we have to get behind him and hope the responsibility is really shared in the dressing room and on the pitch.
