How would Arse supporters react if we signed Vieira?

Yeah but im sure ALL arsenal fans wont be as generous.

How is it possible for ALL to share the same view? Of course there will be differing views, however I am certain that the majority will wish him well. That is the important factor, it's what the majority thinks that is important.

agreed. I cant see that most Arsenal fans would be too fussed. U had the best years of him, if he'd moved to united from arsenal at 26, i could see there being animocity, but at this stage of his career...
 
Don't know. Admittedly he aint the player he was. The gulf in what he was and is now, was all for see when we plaved Juventus in the CL game.

That said, he is still a big player.

Uniteds midfield isnt the same since Keane left. With Vieira he will add a bit of bite to it. If we are honest, since his departure, it has been something we have also lacked.
 
Physically I don't think he can cope with a long season. In the 02/03 season he picked up an injury around the new year mark and up to that point imo he had been the best player in the league imo. Then however he struggled and instead of resting he tried to play through pain. In the first half of a match he would absolutely dominate everything but around the 55-60 min mark he would rapidly fade.

I think that injury had a much bigger effect then we had orginally thought because after having surgery he was never the same player.

As to how I'd feel if you signed him, well good luck to you but it would also show that you couldn't get your real targets so had to settle for him. If you had signed him 6 years ago I would have been beside myself with rage but he isn't as good as he was 6 years ago....

we'd increase the number of red cards per season

Vieira aint like that any more. Your harping on about his early years with us. At which point he/we had a big problem, I believe Wenger pulled him aside and told him he was no go to the club if he was unable to play.

I don't know if anyone has access to stats here, but if you do, check out the amount of reds he had in his early days with the Arsenal against what he is getting now and what he got in the last couple of seasons with us.
 
you must understand that the old lady cannot give vieira anymore satisfaction by playing in the lower tier.

Because I am sure he didn't sign with a view for staying 1 season only. I am sure he intended to see out his career with the old lady.
