The Patrick Vieira Thread

If he does come to us what number do you think he will take? It's always been PV4. Will look strange seeing him in another number. Maybe Toures number 5 shirt?

[quote]By Richard Clarke

ArsÃ¨ne Wenger says that a return to Arsenal would be Patrick Vieiraâ€™s â€œfirst-choiceâ€

I actually don't think i'd be able to contain my excitement if he came back

One for all you "You can stick you're fucking stats right up your arse" fans - Of which I am one.

Pyschological impact of Denilson and Song on oppsotion - I would say close to zero.

Anyone see the video interview with wenger re PV4 ? In it he said that even signing PV4 is a gamble but he knows the club and has the right attitude - is that an indicator or as close as you will ever get from wenger that a few of our players dont have the right attitude ?

Most of us believe that anyway but am surprised, in a good way mind, that wenger actually suggested this

Certianly sounds like wenger is interested, yesterday in his press conference he said it was a possbility which is unlike wenger, who normally says a big fat NO

Im not to sure about bringing pv4 back, i get the impression it is papering over the cracks and to keep the fans happy. Instead we need like ray parlour says 3 players to challenge for trophies.

read this for awhile but only just signed up so can comment (got told not long left at work so might as well make productive use of time from now on!), and I'm really not sure bout bringing back vieira. Whilst Cesc scoring against juve was seen as a changing of the guard, the biggest thing that sticks in my head was that in the build up vieira was tackled by pires!

now, whilst pires was/is a great player there is no way vieira should be getting tackled so easily by him and this was 3yrs ago. it could've been a one off fluke but what if we end up seeing a once immense player but who now has as much mobility as sylvester? that would break my fragile heart!

Vermaelen has taken the no. 5 shirt. Paddy will have to be 33....his age

I think you're reading FAR too much into that, Augie!

He's not criticising his players... he's saying that signing ANY player is a gamble, but at least he know's Vieira has a fantastic attitude, whereas other potential signings might not

I'm not in anyway a psychologist but if you read into Wenger comments I actually think PV4 returning is a goer.

Mrs Chippy is ecstatic. She's always said he's got lovely legs.

When I see a 10 page thread I hardly want to go through and read it.
As you can see you must have just read my post after being alerted and I just read yours after being alerted. simples.

BTW the long threads on here tend to be the best ones.

Not if i get involved in them

I dont mean to sound daft but when did Paddy play with 5 on his back?

Wasnt it 4 as in PV4?
