They are both young and inexperienced and eventually will make excellent players but without a new DM Arsenal will be guilty once again of looking to the future and forgetting the present. Viera will bring so much more than ability to the side, the experience and leadership he has under his belt is unrivalled. Viera can lead Arsenal in battle in all those games we should have won last season, but seemed to fade away.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09568875337062746289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22806182.post-71148283682017965262009-07-30T03:27:06.043-04:002009-07-30T03:27:06.043-04:00Come on people Viera is a legend but he is past it...Come on people Viera is a legend but he is past it!<br />If he isn't good enough for Inter why is he good enough for us?

I have seen every pre-season game so far and if i'm brutily honest Vermaelen isn't as good as Toure. Same sort of assets but not as strong, not as quick and regularly is caught out of position and fails to track back.<br />I'm glad Ade is gone but to call him 1st choice and expect him to only score 10 goals next year is very naive and is just feeding the opinion of the Arsenal and Arsene never do anything wrong crew.<br /><br />Fact is we have just sold yet another 2 of our more experienced players, sort of replaced 1 with someone i don't think is as good and won't be replacing the other who without injury would have had another 20 goal season (he got 16 and was injured for large parts of the season).<br />I'm also excited but only if Wenger invests that money into the team. In all of our pre season games it is shocking how many times we have been caught out with a long ball over the top and against Barnet conceded due to set pieces so that problem hasn't been solved and Denilson proved last year he isn't quite good enough. Neither is Song.

The team can only get better without these hindrance hanging over their young heads. Ashavin hit the nailon its head when he commented that football is a tem sport, all 24 players have to play together.<br />we still need a central midfeilder. Viera may be the best choice. Look around the clubs, there are not many available. The best, like Essien, Carrick etc are tied up. In my view Viera is the next best alternative. He brings along presence and authority. As a DM, he can be the perfect foil to protect the back four as well as freeing Fab to creative duties. Moreover, the next generation can look up to him and can see an opportunity for them to shine when the great man retires in a year or two. I have a feeling Ramsey willbe the one to step into that position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22806182.post-42486615882492339722009-07-29T22:14:20.424-04:002009-07-29T22:14:20.424-04:00Getting ahead of yourselves again?
