I'm an Arsenal fan and I think your analysis of Vieira is spot on. It must be very tempting for Ferguson to take a punt on him, but I reckon the chances of it paying off for ManU would be about 40-60. No doubt they'd get some great games from him, as shown in the World Cup, but would that happen often enough or for sustained periods. The evidence of the last few seasons suggests that these kinds of performance are becoming fewer and further between. I wouldn't resent him going to ManU but thats probably because I no longer see someone to be particularly fearful of as an imposing influence in an opposing team. I enjoyed that piece.
