The only way we should sell Vieira is if we can guarantee a player of his standards being brought in. I think our best chance of getting value for money for him was last season.

ITA. There'd be no sense in selling him now - who are we going to replace him with? We're short of CMs as it is, and I don't think losing our captain in the middle of the season will do anything for the team's morale or confidence.
I wonder how much Real would offer now...
I feel last summer was his last chance of going to Real.

I see your point and somewhat agree, but we'll need to do better than Savage. I just think that with so many problems in CM right now (injuries, contract issues etc), it's perhaps not the best time to be getting rid of our captain. And we'll need to replace him with quality, not mediocrity IMHO. Is Savage good enough to hold a starting XI place for us? I wouldn't say so.
But it is disappointingly clear he doesn't want to be here, and is probably cursing his missed chance of going to Real. He's looked both unmotivated and unable this season, and I agree that if he doesn't want to be here, then feck him (as harsh as that may sound).
Ah, the drama. I'm glad I don't have to make these big decisions.
PS - Personally, I don't think Wenger will sell him, even if Real did make an offer (unless it's an offer too good to refuse).
