I'm not happy at the prospect of losing Paddy for peanuts...a lot of the young guns look up to him. Fingers crossed that this is a load of b*ll*cks
AFCFan4Ever said:I said this the other day but I that we're selling Vieira to fund a huge bid for SWP. I began thinking this the other day when the Vieira to Juve rumors really heated up and AW made his comments about wanting SWP. He knows the only way we could compete with Chelsea for his signature is to sell a player and put the funds towrds the bid...and now, Vieira is apparently gone. I may be way off base here but I think this is what's happening.

No No No!!!
This is terrible. He is the heart of our team. Irreplacable. For less than 10 million and Zebina/Appiah f****g who??!!
We are supposed to be keeping the team together and STRENGTHENING it further. How we do this by selling our best midfielder, the captain of Arsenal FC, I do not know.
What are the repurcussions of this? Will Pires now go? (Don't even get me started on that one) Will Cole refuse to sign a contract? Will Freddie now go as he recently said we needed to strengthen our squad for him to stay?
We are 4 weeks off the new season and in two months the Arsenal board have managed to buy ONE player even though it is rumoured we have 30m+ to spend.
It takes the club two weeks to negotiate one transfer!! If Vieira goes then we will need 3 players to come in. (No new keeper on the horizon! A lack of cover in defence!)
I'll be furious if Vieira is sold. :evil:
God this summer sucks so far!!

AFCFan4Ever said:You guys are making it out like Vieira is still the best CM in the world and he's irreplaceable...please, his form is dropping and he had a pretty average season last year. He's on the downside of his career and to say that he can't find someone to replace him is ridiculous...you can better believe Wenger won't sign off on it unless he has a specific player or two in mind. Is losing Vieira tough? Sure it is, he's been with the club for a long time and been our captain, anytime you lose a player like that it's tough. Is it the end of Arsenal or signify that our summer is on the downward spiral? Absolutely not...trust in Arsène, he knows what he's doing FFS.
