Former Arsenal star Ray Parlour believes Cesc Fabregas is the right man for the job but has advised him to become the new 'voice' and not the one that is told what to do.

Parlour's blog on setantasports.com revealed: "..he is still a young man and has a lot on his shoulders. He's the playmaker in midfield and now he's the skipper, but he was the only man for the job.

"He'll be different to people like Tony Adams and Patrick Vieira. The players respect him and he's an excellent player but maybe he's got to be a bit more vocal on the pitch. He's been used to people telling him what to do but as skipper he has to demand things of people.

"Even though he's only a young man he's got a lot of experience, he's played in that team for a long time now so I'm sure he will rise to the occasion of being skipper."
