What should happen to Vieira ?

[Gunnzie]

So Vieira is staying. But should he be allowed to stay ? Should he remain captain ?

Whats your opinion ?

[solaris]

should be forced to get a jokebook and watch sum monty python ,serious get!
cracking player tho with management potential without a doubt.
ive come to a conclusion that ,he either loves the bl**dy attention, or he likes giving false hope to unsetle other teams,
im a manu fan that would have loved to have seen him go to spain,but yet AGAIN hes stayed,hmm

[jjatlas]

every yer this happens but this year was the tightest we've come to losing him, i dont think RM had the cash to buy him in the first place. While hes got a gunners crest on his chest he should still captain the side, he's in his prime at the mo if we can keep him for a couple of years we'll see the best of him.

not worried if he did go but pleased he's staying

[BlackMale]

he should be strung up by his balls, and the next time i see him kissing the badge i may run out the crowd myself :annoyed:

[Makaveli]

Id like to see him given an OBE, simply for the entertainment value of listening to you lot chat shite.

After watching the press conference, ive bought what hes saying. He knows he f*cked us about and he knows hes gotta get our trust back, and he can only do that by playing out of his skin.

The fact is he is still an Arsenal man, and there is no point us murdering him when he plays. We got to get behind him just as if he is any other player in red and white.

If Vieira goes....they've got Fabregas now, only 17 but he's fcuking brilliant

Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has confirmed that Patrick Vieira
wanted to leave for Real Madrid in the summer.

The eight-week saga finally ended on Friday when the Frenchman pledged
his allegiance to the north Londoners, but Dein admits he feared the worst
for most of the time.
He says he was at manager Arsene Wenger's house when Vieira arrived to
reveal his decision.

"It was dramatic and emotional," said Dein. "I can't give any more
details of what was said or whether there were any tears.

"It had been going on for eight weeks. Patrick has been such a great
player for us and for him to leave would a have been a big thing for all of
us. But all the signs were that this was his wish.

"In fact, he told Arsene and me in early June that he wanted to leave
and go to Real Madrid. We obviously tried very hard to dissuade him, but his
mind was very made up and these things have to run their course.

"I would say we came within hours of losing him, maybe just an hour.
Literally, just prior to signing off an agreement, he said 'I cannot leave
the club'. It had obviously been running through his mind for some time and
he came to the decision himself.

"It was eight weeks of torture. I've felt like the fire brigade on Guy
Fawkes night for the past few weeks."


snotty, totally agree, fabregas he looks good , another wenger find, he wasnt phased with the game one bit and likes to get stuck in, bring him on.

[-G-Man-]

The best thing about Fabregas is that he is totally unphased. Saw him play along side Vieira against rotherham in the League cup and he did'nt just stand there in ore like a few of the other kids, he was demanding the ball all night. he was'nt phased at all.

[WideOn]

how can you put vieria back in the team when cesc has played him off the park recently

[foxy11]

he's gotta go back in the team for the sake of my fantasy football!

[-G-Man-]

The fact is fabregas is a boy, while Patrick is the MAN!

Like Arsene said, if a lad of Cesc's age can get 15 top flight games under his belt, then that would be fantastic
