Time will tell
He is probably far more capable of grabbing more goals from midfield than De Jong though , and has done in years gone by ...... so It's pretty clear that Viera does get forward more than he does .
He is not being bought for goals - we score them for fun - he is being bought for defensive and leadership qualities which is a huges for the team BUT who is going to make way for him.
What he has done in years gone by is pretty much irrelevent because he does not the play same role as he did in years gone by.

Vieira is 33 not 34!!! He will prove to be a masterstroke...height, presence, strength and experience at the very highest of levels.

It's a win, win situation for me. He'll bring experience and that winning mentality we so badly need. I think Mancini has been very cute with this signing.CTID

He offers MORE in attack than Dejong, nobody is saying he's an attacking player
Viera 104 goals in career
Dejong 11....

he will also be a leader on the pitch, something which we currently do not have at the moment.

Frankly I'm rather surprised that Vieira would want to leave Inter Milan in the middle of a joint Champions League and Serie A title bid. Maybe he thinks that Chelski will knock them out in the next round. For me it's a good signing as NDJ is always likely to get injured or suspended. Zabaleta may feel aggrieved as he was destined for a midfield role if a new right back came, but otherwise its a win-win scenario.
