Fabregas has been appointed the new captain of Arsenal after Gallas was stripped of his captaincy for his ranting of the club.
Well for me, the appointment came as a suprise as I expected either Toure or Clichy to be named as captain. But I guess Fabregas is everyone's favourite for the post and furthermore, it was incentive for Fabregas to stay with the Gunners, seeing the tough patch the Gunners are currently going through.
Whether Fabregas becomes a good captain or not remains to be seen. At just 21 years of age, he is one of Arsenal's youngest captains. Tony Adams was made captain at the same age, and he proceeded on to be one of Arsenal's finest captains. Will Fabregas be able to emulate him? Or will he falter like Thierry Henry; a star that became captain, but failed as one as the team over-relied on him. Only time will tell.
One thing's certain, it is the beginning of a new era for Arsenal FC.
