tony adams reckons arsenal can win the cl without vieira. he says no player is bigger than the club. the club is built on stability would be able to survive the loss of a player like vieira. paul merson should take note. he says also that the obvious choice for captaincy is sol campbell.
he should not delude himself on one point. The great challenge of his career was never in adding to the glory of the most successful club in European football. It was in finishing the job at Arsenal, the club he has helped to within touching distance of the stars. That was the chance he had as he moved into the prime of his career and said, in the way of football, how much he loved Arsenal.
Wenger is keeping his deepest thoughts to himself as he attempts to fill the void left by his greatest player, and most rounded piece of work. Maniche Ribeiro, the fine Portuguese player, is thought to be the coach's prime candidate, but you know it will not be quite the same. Everyone knows the ability of Maniche. For quite a long time, Vieira's was Wenger's most dazzling secret. Deep down, you know he must feel betrayed.
brilliant. ;DWenger "Patrick is still here regardless of all the reports, and I believe he will still be here next week and the week after that"
Press "so that means he will be here for only three weeks"
Wenger"and that takes us to the end of the transfer deadline"
Q: Yes he has been a great servant as you say, but he does want to go to Real Madrid! Can he (can't hear what the rest of the question was)
A. You have two statements in there, one is your opinion, and just behind that you have a question, so...(journalist interrupts)
Q. You don't have to convicne him to stay then?
A. No (again very firm, he's the boss all right!!), i do not want to convince him, i want him to stay
quattro said:can't really know whats in paddy's head, but imo IF he stays he stays for good. its obvious that to him its a big choice and nothing short of a fully committed "no regrets" decision will do because there is no turning back (especially if he decides to step away from arsenal). if he stays, to me that would mean that he's considered his options, carefully weighed their values and found that staying here is the better alternative. if that happens i think he'll even be more committed to us than he ever was because this will mean that he's given up something that obviously occupies his ambition for what he deems is the best solution.

I just listened to the Arsenal Plus interview with Wenger and here is what was said about Vieira. I am trying to be as close to word for word as possible because i don't trust the media to tell the story with clarity, but of course i am editing the repetitive parts out.
Here are the questions and answers without any prejudice or exageration.
Enjoy!!
